Essentials in any salary negotiation
Salary negotiation is a conversation, not a battle. Here are a few tricks to keep in mind.
- Never accept a verbal offer. Ask for an opportunity to review everything in writing.
- Do your research on pay parity.

- Get creative with benefits. Many companies have flexed out their compensation packages to get the best employees.
