BEFORE THE NEGOTIATION

Before the interview and thus the negotiation of your future wage, it is very important to know the company you are applying for. Moreover, before going to the interview, you have to establish your BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement) thus yours limits, yours expectations.

My BATNA (Best alternative to a negotiated agreement)

Establish your BATNA before negotiating is essential because you know clearly what are yours limits and expectations. During the negotiation, if the opponent offers you a better agreement than your BATNA, you should accept it. But, if the agreement is not better than your BATNA, you should reopen negotiations.

NEGOTIATION’S ARGUMENTS

To tackle the question of salary, it is always delicate. That is why you have to let the interviewer introduce this subject. If he doesn’t speak about the wage and if it is very important for you to know how much you will earn, wait to the right moment to tackle it.

My first suggestion: 50.000€/year
