In this episode of the iMPact Job Talk podcast, we talk to iMPact’s owner Matt Peal, and Sr. Account Manager Curt Willbrandt about how to navigate salary negotiation through the job interview process. Topics covered in this episode include:
- When and how to discuss salary during the interview process
- What to do if the employer hasn’t advertised or given their salary range, or are unwilling to bring it up first during the interview?
- How to discuss salary expectations, and your current salary (if/when asked), especially if you’re looking for a big increase
- Salary negotiation strategies
- Should you ask for more than your desired salary, and if so, how much more (%) to start out the negotiation?
- Avoid bad faith negotiation. Don’t surprise the employer with a new and higher salary range at the end of the interview process.
- What should you do if your current employer makes you a salary counteroffer?
- How can working with a staffing agency/recruiter help you with salary negotiation and obtaining the salary you’re looking for?
- Interview feedback
- Avoid miscommunication/misunderstandings
