Why Choose Us?

Know Your Market Value

Research your market value before negotiation on platforms like Glassdoor, Indeed, or Payscale. Know the salary range for your position and experience.

The Right Timing

Never be the first to name a number. Let the employer make an offer. If asked about salary expectations, name a range (e.g., 60,000-68,000€) with your wish at the upper end.

Arguments Not Wishes

"I want more" does not work. "My expertise in X brought my current employer Y€ in revenue" does. Support your request with achievements, qualifications, and market value.

Negotiate the Total Package

Salary is not everything. Also negotiate: Remote work days, company car, training budget, bonus, stock options, additional vacation days. There is often more flexibility here than with base salary.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much more salary can I ask for when changing jobs?

As a rule of thumb, 10-20% is realistic. In shortage professions (IT, engineering, healthcare) even 25-30%. Important: Your request should be backed by market value research and your qualifications. Never ask for less than your current salary – a job change should always be financially worthwhile.

What do I do if the offer is too low?

Never say no immediately. Thank them, show enthusiasm for the role, and explain factually why you expected more. Offer a compromise: "Can we meet at X€?" or negotiate additional benefits. If nothing works, ask for a salary review after 6 months – documented in writing.

How do I prepare for salary negotiation?

5 steps: 1) Research market value (Glassdoor, Indeed, Payscale). 2) Collect own achievements and numbers. 3) Define minimum and maximum salary expectations. 4) Practice negotiation (with friends or in front of a mirror). 5) Present yourself professionally – from application photo to interview. Those who look confident, negotiate confidently.
