Negotiation Strategy

Hey, I should be getting an offer from a company soon. Any advice on negotiation strategy?

Don't give first number. Start negotiating on designation. And remember no1 recall offer for negotiation

So if I raise the offer for X or Y reason, they are not going to say: "Nope. And actually... give me the offer back and bye!"

They would say this is max they can offer in worst case.

Haseeb's article really helped, I got a low-ball from msft and I used those steps combined with my own flair to counter

After they present you with some number, don't counter offer with a lower number

Best advice so far

all about competing offers. don’t have much leverage if only 1 offer

Negotiating is about 2 things. Phrasing and timing. 1. Use the phrase "double it" 2. Say it *after* they give you their numbers.

Never ever give first number. Ever.
