Hey y'all, I've most recently been interviewing with some potential employers and for the first time these salaries are unknown to me (previous work had clearly posted and advertised salaries).
I'm looking for basic advice, good articles, or maybe links to old threads in which case, chastise me accordingly- on how to politely and effectively negotiate salary. I was asked on a recent interview what I wanted my salary to be - admittedly, I was somewhat caught off guard (as the interview was a screener) so there's probably a good chance I shot myself in the foot there or, maybe, severely undervalued myself. I could see either possibility being likely.
So for future reference I'd like to be better prepared.
What are good rules of thumb? Dos and donts ?
