5 Top Tips for negotiating pay
- Do your research – what is the market rate for your role, experience and location?
- Know your worth – what skills, experience and results do you bring to the role, and why is this worth something. Use real examples to support your case.
- Ask at the right time – when to negotiate is key. You can do this before you accept a role or at regular checkpoints/reviews throughout the year.
- Practice what you want to say – run through what you want to say, and how you will say it. Practicing out loud will help your confidence when it comes to the real discussion.
- Be ready for challenge – consider what you might say if your employer declines/defers your request. Ask if there is anything you can do which will lead to a positive result in future negotiations.
