A newsletter subscriber inquired whether or not it was possible to negotiate salary at a job your are already working at. After some investigating the local job market, they realized that they were quite underpaid and wanted to level set with their coworkers. Someone had advised them to quit their job and try to negotiate a higher salary elsewhere.

Do you feel like you’re one of the millions of people who are underpaid for the highly professional hard work that you do? Are you putting in too much energy into your job and not getting enough back from the company you work for? If so, there is something you can do about it!

One of my newsletter subscribers asked me whether or not it was okay to talk about salary during the first interview with an employer. They were worried that it would give the wrong impression. How could they avoid revealing their salary expectations too soon? They were wondering how they could postpone this discussion until the right time. My golden rule is to never lie to anyone. Therefore you need some good strategies to avoid this topic until the last minute.

A friend recently asked me for some advice or tips on how to negotiate a salary. They are no expert at salary negotiation and would like to get better.

The amount of compensation one makes throughout their lifetime career and the subsequent lifestyle and quality of life as a result of that income depends a lot on the amount of salary a person negotiates before their first day on the job.

Before going into salary negotiating, it is critical to know exactly what your value is. If you do not know exactly what your value is, then it is a shot in the dark when you ask for a raise or try to get the most in your next job.
