Know your number first
Walk in with a researched range based on the role, your level, and your market. The Career Hub salary benchmarks are a fast way to anchor your expectations before any conversation.
Let them go first, then anchor high
When asked for your expectations, deflect to their range when you can. Once a number is on the table, counter near the top of your researched range — you can always settle in the middle.
- "Based on my experience and the market for this role, I was expecting something in the range of X to Y."
- "I'm excited about the role. Is there flexibility on the base?"
Negotiate the whole package
Base salary is one lever. Signing bonus, equity, start date, remote flexibility, and PTO are all negotiable — and sometimes easier wins than base.
