Salary negotiation is a crucial step in your professional journey. Whether you are looking for a job or already employed, knowing how to negotiate your compensation can make a significant difference in the long term.

Prepare in advance

Before any negotiation, research salaries practiced in your sector. Use tools like salary grids, compensation studies and professional testimonials.

Know your value

List your achievements, unique skills and the value you bring to the company. Quantify your successes as much as possible.

Choose the right time

Timing is essential. Favor moments when you have demonstrated your value: after a successful project, during the annual interview, or at the time of a promotion.

Adopt the right posture

Stay professional and confident. Avoid ultimatums and favor a collaborative approach. Show that you are seeking a win-win agreement.
