How to Negotiate Above the Median

  1. Anchor with the senior band. When asked for expectations, reference the 7+ years salary range as your target.
  2. Bring a number, not a range. Ranges signal flexibility downward.
  3. Decouple base from total comp. Bonus, equity, and benefits are negotiation levers when base is fixed.
  4. Use Smart Job Matcher to gather 3 competing offers and use them as anchors.
