Before entering any salary negotiation, know
your bottom line. But as the bargaining continues, try to look
beyond the salary itself. Consider the total package before making
your decision. At times, you may find the tradeoffs make it palatable
for you to accept a lower salary. For example, you need to factor
in the added value of the benefits package, the firm’s promise
to reward outstanding performance with a substantial increase in
pay after a six-month job review, and don’t overlook the
opportunities for growth and rewards as your career progresses
with your prospective employer.
