Hi all,
I have 3 years of experience in HR, and I am pursuing my MBA through distance learning. However, for the past 1.5 years, I have been at home due to some personal reasons. Now, I have started looking for a job.
My problem is that I am not good at salary negotiation during interviews. Please suggest some points that will enhance my negotiation skills. Also, please advise me on what the salary range should be for a person considering my gap in employment, education, and skills.
Thanks and regards,
Pooja

Hi Amit,
I have interview calls from both companies and consultancies. However, regardless of whether I am called for a company or consultancy, what should be my strategy to negotiate salary?

Hi Pooja,
Just look for a good career-oriented firm. If it is a good company, they will provide you with a good pay in turn. However, since you are pursuing your MBA, look forward to a company where you can learn related to your domain field. Once you are done with your MBA and have hands-on experience, you can negotiate your salary thereafter as per the market. I hope this is taken in the right way.

Dear Pooja,
As you are not working at present, I am sorry to say that the company will negotiate on this point. Please suggest a dignified figure that you would be willing to accept; indicate that you will not consider anything less than this amount.
Thank you.

Hi Pooja,
For negotiating salary, three things are a must:
1. Strong/high communication skills and self-confidence.
2. Nice experience in related fields.
3. Appropriate degree/diploma.
If you have the above-mentioned three things, you may negotiate salary.

Since you have had a gap, companies may offer the same salary or slightly less. Try to negotiate for the same salary or even 10% more. At this point, getting back into the job market and establishing yourself is more important than monetary benefits. It will fall into place once you prove your talent.

Hi Pooja,
I do agree with the above advice. As you have had a break in your career, reestablishing yourself should be the main motive rather than the salary. Once you achieve your first step, then I think there should not be any reason for you to negotiate your salary. You will start getting good packages based on your talent, skillset, and experience.

Try to get an opportunity in the market to establish yourself at present. After taking a chance once, then the sky is open for you. How high you want to go depends on your capability.
