How to Negotiate Your Salary - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Robyn Feldberg: The first tip I have regarding salary negotiation is don’t bring salary up too soon. If you’re pressed early on in the interview process to give a salary figure that you want, try to keep a wide range, because you don’t want to start negotiating until you’ve had an opportunity to sell yourself for the job. When you do get to the end, and you are negotiating salary, the other thing I would tell you is make sure you have done your homework and know what a fair salary range is for that position, for that company, and for your geographic area. That’s going to give you a lot more leverage if you need to come back and tell them their salary’s not in alignment with your expectations based on the research that you’ve done and that you think this salary would be more reasonable.
