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

  • Expectations regarding negotiating vary by industry 
  • Public and nonprofit organizations often have little or no option to adjust an offer 
  • 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
