I have personally negotiated an increased salary through a counter offer based on my familiarity with a certain technology. The negotiated rate was only slightly higher($70k->$72k), but it poses as proof that you can negotiate up in the same way they can negotiate down. The offers are generally shaded lower than what they are comfortable offering, which is why I always counter-offer asking for more when considering an offer. | |

Employers can quickly shut down negotiations with "prove it". The problem here is that the interview is over and negotiations have started. Any evidence of your skills and abilities have already been shown. If you had more facts to share (i.e. education, etc.) why wasn't it shared during the interview? It's better to just stand firm "My expectations are $$$ and my research says you're company can pay this". Present what research you have. Let them argue the rate down if they can. They will never argue up. | |
