"Salary negotiations are important – both when you’re first offered a job, and also during performance reviews . 这可能会让人不舒服, often nerve-wracking conversation to bring up, 可能会让你不安, especially during a job interview.

但尽管如此, negotiating your salary and benefits package that meets your demands, and is on par with industry standards as well, is essential and extremely important.

从雇主的角度来看, salary negotiations are part of the game, 是完全可以接受的, so you should never shy away from it. In fact most companies are willing to negotiate and expect it but most employees shy away from it."
