Youre ready to hit the ground running toward your new career peak.
Theres just the matter of negotiating your salary.
They may think theyre sweetening the pot, but this approach leaves a sour taste in Ormans mouth.
She urges you to carefully consider whether this trade-off ultimately aligns with your financial goals.
Before negotiating, research salary benchmarks for your role.
Treat it as a starting point for what will hopefully be a bigger conversation.
You dont need to accept this offer.
Orman says to stick to your guns.
After all, people often advocate more strongly for others than for themselves.
Ultimately, its up to you what you decide to accept or reject.
Just promise yourself that you wont immediately accept the first salary offer, she said.
The hiring manager will be thrilled if you do, but only because you made their job easy.
They expect you to negotiate and have baked that into their initial offer.
