Salary negotiation is a common part of the hiring process, so don’t let it intimidate you. Talking about money is sticky and uncomfortable, but to ensure that you get the salary you deserve to match your skills and experience, it’s a topic that you absolutely have to bring up with a future employer. The more you do it, the better you’ll be at it and the more comfortable you’ll be doing it. The more job experience you have, the more negotiating leverage you’ll have. But, new professionals can negotiate too!
