Analyzing the Job Market

Prepare thoroughly

Before any discussion, inform yourself about the salaries typically offered in your sector, region, and for equivalent profiles.

Use reliable sources: HR studies, specialized platforms, or advice from your recruiter.

Highlight your value

Your arguments should not be based solely on your expectations, but on the value you bring to the company: key skills, past results, adaptability, leadership, etc.

Speak in terms of a range

Instead of stating a precise figure, propose a realistic range that suits you, while leaving room for negotiation.

Be ready to discuss other benefits

Salary, yes, but also: remote workdays, bonuses, training, flexibility... The negotiation can include an overall package, not just a monthly sum.

Remain professional in all circumstances

Even if the offer is below your expectations, maintain an open and respectful demeanor. This works in your favor in the long run.
