- The immense value of negotiating your salary, even a small increase can compound significantly over time.
- How to use data points like current benefits, experience, and qualifications to justify a higher salary offer.
- The importance of being gracious and avoiding outright rejecting an initial offer to keep the negotiation door open.
- When it may or may not be advantageous to disclose your previous or expected salary during the process.
