I want to negotiate myself a higher salary-how do I do it?
One thing we can easily forget is that you can't negotiate until you have sold. There is no little trick that will catapult you to a higher salary until they really want you. So as in any negotiation, sell first. Which in this instance means spend six months doing a fantastic job. Then walk into the negotiation room with confidence. Don't let them mess you about and ask for more money. But don't even think about it until they really want you. And they will-but you need to give it a bit of attention first.
Same with any negotiation: sell first, then trade.
