Approach the conversation with pre rehearsed examples of your value, have practiced them out loud and communicate these with conviction. Don't over-explain yourself and make sure you share that you're speaking to other companies (creates the FOMO effect). Treat it like a sales conversation. Use silence as a bargaining tool and be ok with walking away if the package doesn't meet your minimum expectation. They can always say no to you asking for a higher number, it shouldn't cost you the job.

Highlight your unique skills and experience. Emphasize the value you bring to the role. Negotiate for performance-based bonuses or future reviews. Show flexibility while ensuring your basic needs are met.

Brief them about your role and extra efforts you have put into the projects to drive the outcome . Show them what you have done and what you can do. Show them the future of theirs with you and past also ,explain them how patience you were during past days. Plan well before proceeding

Be insightful about your tech stack, competency, role complexity, additional certification and lastly geography. If you can analyze all 5 elements, negotiation would be cakewalk

Negotiating fair compensation within budget constraints demands creativity. Here's how: ? Maximise Benefits: Enhance perks like extra holidays or flexible schedules, boosting employee satisfaction without straining finances. ? Performance-Based Bonuses: Link bonuses directly to performance metrics. Employees excel, company thrives, and everyone wins. ? Post-ProbationPay Review: Agree on a salary review after probation, tying raises to achievements. It rewards merit while respecting budget limits.

PRO TIP: Companies are more willing to give one-time bonuses and other perks rather than a salary increase. Make a Plan B that includes requests for bonuses and other perks listed here.

The key word here is IMPACT. How did your actions directly or indirectly positively impact the organization? Make it clear how your work ultimately contributes to the company's success.

I will make an effort to persuade the candidate based on Fixed/Month even if they have more offers with better packages.Deductions differ for every organization, and the tricky part is that a large portion of their other offers might have a salary split with significant variable pay.

Emphasize your value and skills, explore non-financial benefits towards the role, consider performance-based incentives, and be open to negotiation on other aspects like remote work or flexible work hours to achieve a balanced compensation package within the budget constraints. Be open to fairly compromise your demands.

Ask for more than you want. If you're comfortable with a 15% salary increase, ask for 25%. Then you have room to negotiate. Get your Plan B in place too, including a request for a bonus, educational benefits, flex time, insurance coverage, and other perks.

Understanding what your limit is for both basic and total reward benefits but also understanding the business capability with budgets. Eg trying to negotiate a ￡20k increase in a time where the business isn’t making a profit isn’t a good look. Sometimes you need to leave an organisation if it’s not providing you what you need in your pay check each week/month - only you know what’s needed

Never compromise! Know the value, both monetary and non-monetary (that is the tricky part) and only accept what is going to fill your cup. If you start a new job disgruntled, you are already at a disadvantage. Find the organization or activity that will fill your cup.

Negotiating a fair compensation package with a limited budget can be challenging, but it's not impossible: - Research & understand the typical salary ranges for your role and experience in the industry. Use this information to justify your salary expectations based on your skills and qualifications. -Identify the most important components of your compensation package and be open to negotiations beyond salary. Consider non-monetary benefits, such as flexible work arrangements or extra time off, to enhance your overall package.

I played teams sports growing up. Stepping into the job interview process is much like the playoffs and the salary negotiation is the final game; your career’s championship game. Your value proposition or your career portfolio is a combination of your experience, skills and impact you’ve given examples about throughout the interview process. The salary negotiation is your opportunity to remind the coach, your future boss, that your unique skill set (layups, jump shots, assists, steals and team wins) will make an impact and move the team forward. You’re excited to play on the team. Know your value and negotiate your value. If the budget is tight, your value doesn't shrink. It may not be your next play.

All of this you need to adjust to the eb and flow of the market. There are factors, but the market sets the rate. That job you took in 2021. Yeah the one with a 20% raise? Don’t expect that in 2023/4 if you are looking. And if you are unemployed and looking to “expect” the same or more is limiting. You can want, and you can hope, and you may even get - but to expect is not the correct attitude and can keep you on the sidelines for longer than you hoped.

Negotiation of a Total Rewards package for yourself can lead to stress if you are not aware of your value, the value that the role has for the target organization as well as the overall employment conditions. Preparation and transparency in communication is key. If an organization is not aware of all that you sook, it will be exceedingly difficult for them to meet those desires.
