The Ultimate Guide to Negotiating Your Salary for a New Job

If you're looking for a Playbook to negotiate a pay rise (rather than an offer for a new job), check this out

Finding a new job that ticks all of the boxes is hard. And while it’s important to take a moment to celebrate when the offer comes through, it’s also key not to get swept up in a feeling of euphoria or worse, gratitude. You don’t need to be grateful for your offer – you’ve deserved it. And your future employer is at least as happy as you are to have found the perfect match.

So, hold your horses and don’t give them a resounding Yes just yet. You’ve gotten them to invest time and money into determining that you’re the perfect candidate for the role. At this point, it would be incredibly costly to re-start the search and find someone else. And even if there’s a backup candidate, nobody likes to end up with their 2nd choice.

What that means is this – now is the perfect time to negotiate your offer and to make sure that you get out of it what you want. You may find the prospect daunting, think it will be awkward or that you’ll alienate your future boss and employer. I assure you, if you follow the principles laid out in this Guide, it won’t be awkward, you won’t alienate anyone and you will be respected for initiating a poised and productive discussion.

The opportunity to make something happen for yourself will never be as big as when you’ve just received that offer. Right now is the time.

So, this is what this Guide is for – to equip you with all the tools and information you need to make the most of this opportunity and to do it with maximum confidence and minimal awkwardness.
