Research and consider the following to determine if negotiation is appropriate in your situation: 

  • Expectations regarding negotiating vary by industry
  • Entry-level positions may have a predetermined salary that cannot be negotiated 
  • Salaries for the type of position offered in the location you would work 
  • The strength of your qualifications for the position 

If you determine you want to negotiate, connect with a Career Coach to explore best practices in your field.

 

TIP:

Resources like LMI, Glassdoor, Indeed, O*Net, and Occupational Outlook Handbook help determine what you should expect and ask for in terms of pay.
