Market rate
I asked for 10k above the average listed on levels.fyi and Amazon gave it to me without negotiating. I probably left some money on the table. I’d recommend saying you don’t have enough info and you’d like them to make the first offer.
I was just honest with them, told them I wasn't sure what I should expect. Worked out pretty well.
This is probably the best strategy
Didn’t they ask your current salary?
I knew what I would take and asked for 30k more. Got what I wanted and then some.
^this. Anchor high
You say what you think you're worth and literally nobody can tell you that without knowing a lot about you and there isn't a magic spell that you can cast on the recruiter that will maximize what you get. For that you need skills which most of you don't have: negotiation, business and people.
I tell them to make the first move. Then ask for max(20% more than what I want, 30% more than their offer). Usually meet in the middle.
The way out is to tell them how much you make now and explain that an offer should make a sense financially.
give a range munimum: the minimal number that would make you move maximum: something reasonable according to market statistics. if "maximum" less than "minimum" then set it to "minimum"
You should never give your minimum number that will make you move
Make it rain
Best comment on Blind. Very underrated.
