Here's how you can boost your chances of success in a salary negotiation by preparing effectively.

As a woman, know that you will often underestimate your value. It is about leaning in and asking and negotiating more strongly. There is a gender pay gap so make sure you address this issue - that you expect to be paid based on your experience and on par with male counterparts.

Know your value! Both your life choices and professional experiences contribute to the person you are today. That has a lot of value and it is hard to find qualified professionals nowadays. Based on your experience, search for the opening you are looking at and see how many requirements you already excel at. From there, on a job interview, you'll know how much similar experiences are recognized on the market.

I believe that in the rapidly evolving world of work, offering an alternative model through negotiation can make you stand out more prominently and advantageously in the eyes of the employer. Instead of traditional salary, total costs, seniority, and leave liabilities, as well as benefits like private health insurance, car, fuel, and meal allowances, proposing to establish your own company and work as an independent professional on an invoicing basis could be a viable alternative. This model, which focuses on cost optimization and value-added output, can be a win-win for both parties and can open new horizons for the employer with unconventional approaches.

Understanding your market value is the cornerstone of any salary negotiation. Before entering the discussion, research the typical salary range for your position in your industry and geographic area. Websites and professional networks can provide valuable insights into current compensation trends. Armed with this information, you can confidently assert your desired salary, knowing it aligns with industry standards. Remember, your skills, experience, and the unique contributions you can make to the company justify your salary request. "Know your worth and demonstrate it accurately by staying informed about market needs and honing your skills."

I could not agree more! Know your value. Make sure you do your research online to benchmark what fair market pay is actually being offered. Also place a value on your experience and probability of impactful performance. Understand what the payback of the investment made on you is. Calculate the multiples which would make your prospective employer achieve breakeven. For example- would you would need to sell 6 pieces of machinery @ 35% markup to be squared? It helps to show the employer that you understand the metrics that guide the business
