What are some tips for negotiating your salary?

Krista Jaekel:

Know your worth! Have an understanding of the market (specific field, location, experience level). Do your research.

Erin Jernigan:

- Highlight what differentiates you from other candidates and specific examples on how you have made the business successful (try and tie it to money and/or time saved)
