Here's how you can navigate the challenges of negotiating a higher salary as a senior researcher.
Navigating salary negotiations can be particularly daunting for senior researchers who have dedicated years to their field. You might feel that your contributions and experience warrant a significant pay increase, but discussing this with your superiors can be challenging. It's essential to approach these discussions with a well-researched strategy, understanding your worth, and having clear arguments for why a salary increase is justified.
