How do I negotiate a higher salary after a job offer?

[vinithrakarunanidhi]

I received an offer, but the salary’s lower than expected. What’s the best way to negotiate without risking the opportunity?

Express enthusiasm for the offer, then confidently present your case. Research market rates and highlight your unique skills, experience, and achievements. Politely explain your desired salary based on data and value you bring. Emphasize mutual benefit, stay professional, and be open to discussion or alternative compensation options like bonuses or flexibility.

Politely ask if there’s flexibility in the salary. Stay professional, confident, and open to discussion while emphasizing mutual benefit and long-term commitment.
