Things To Consider Before You Decline

Firstly lets look at some things to consider with regard to salary expectations before declining the job.

1. Know Your Worth

Potential employers frequently inquire about your salary expectations during interviews. Therefore decide on a salary range even before attending an interview. Do your research. To determine the average salary for the position, visit job-related websites such as Glassdoor.com. Speak with people you know who have held jobs similar to yours to get a better idea of what you should ask for.

2. Money Isn't Everything

Although you deserve an appropriate remuneration, there may be company benefits that can compensate for a lower salary. For example, if you value extra time off, professional development opportunities, excellent health benefits, and so on, you can negotiate for them with your potential employer.

3. Don't Make It Personal

Your prospective boss isn't required to understand why you want a higher salary or a better benefits package. Determine your desired salary or benefits based on your merit and what you can offer the company in the position you seek. Maintain a confident and assertive tone, and state your desired outcome.
