You did it. You applied for your dream job, or at least a position that'll help pay the bills, and you got an interview. The interview went well, and they sent you a confirmation offering the position. You, however, are not comfortable with the salary they're offering. What do you do next?
You negotiate.
For many new employees, and plenty of old ones, negotiating is a terrifying topic. However, it doesn't have to be.
Chances are you won't have time to study up on everything you need to do during the negotiation. But a valid shortcut is researching the things you should not do during a negotiation.
By heading into a negotiation with a solid framework that highlights what you absolutely shouldn’t do when trying to get those extra dollars, you're ahead of the game whether you’re negotiating for a higher salary or something else.
Instead of going into the negotiation unaware, take these tips and know at the very least you’re avoiding the most common mistakes.
