Most candidates accept the first number they are offered, and most of them leave money on the table. The average negotiable increase is 10–20%, and the cost of not asking is measured in tens of thousands over a career. In this guide, we cover the exact framework we teach clients: how to research market rate (and which sources are reliable), how to respond when asked for your salary expectations early in the process, how to time the negotiation (after an offer, never before), the exact scripts to use, and how to handle the awkward silence. We also cover what to negotiate beyond salary ,signing bonus, equity, remote days, and start date, and when to walk away.
