Strategic Negotiation Tips

  • Lead with metrics: Present this calculator's insights during reviews. Employers align best with data-driven asks.
  • Know your BATNA: Establish your absolute walk-away boundaries before beginning conversations.
  • Highlight outcomes: Frame salary requests around value generation and past project deliverables.
  • Negotiate the entire packet: If base salaries are rigid, request sign-on bonuses, equity, PTO, or flexible remote hours.
  • Embrace strategic silences: State your number clearly, then pause. Avoid talking yourself down.
