Josh here (I wrote Fearless Salary Negotiation), and I just wanted to say that it's fantastic to hear that you got such a great outcome. Great work! And thanks for sharing this pub…

I have a unique perspective on this as my job is coaching Software Engineers (and others) through salary negotiations when they change jobs. I would describe the current SWE market…

I had never seen Fakespot - that's... interesting. I appreciate you mentioning it. I need to see why it thinks those Amazon reviews are fake. The good news is you don't have to buy…

Specifically, check out Chapters 1 & 2 (they're pretty short) to get a sense of how companies decide what to pay you and then jump to Chapter 7 for specific steps to take as you pr…

If you MUST work with a recruiter (staffing firm, for example), I think it's important to be firm that you're excited for good opportunities, but that your salary history and expec…

I'm currently a salary negotiation coach, and most of my clients are in tech (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, some smaller tech companies). In my previous life, I was a project…

I wrote this guide to answer the most common questions I'm asked about how to counter offer. Most of my clients and readers are software developers, so I thought this could be usef…

Great question. My top answer is the article you linked to in your original comment: Don't disclose your current or desired salary. That will cost you a lot of money. Since you men…

Thanks for the mention j_s! This is a really interesting thread and a long article by Cliff. I'm working my way through it now. Looks like the "current salary" question came up. An…

There are two layers to this answer: 1) Before you even get a job offer, it's important to decide what your "walk away" number is (I called this Minimum Acceptable Salary). Having …

Here's a link to the still-short, but slightly-more-detailed survey on Google Forms if you can spare 2 minutes: http://bit.ly/Survey-FSN-ASKHN And I'll be around here in the commen…
