Salary Negotiation

I'd love to hear your tips on negotiating pay when you're searching for new positions, particularly if you've tried to enter the workforce in a rural area where options are limited and wages aren't as competitive. I'm in the social work field if that's relevant, but general advice is great!

Hi there, I can point you to a few resources: Here is an Elpha guide on how to answer the salary question:https://elpha.com/resources/desired-salary?v1=r02Here are some previous posts with advice:https://elpha.com/posts/62o14q2k/salary-negotiation-tips-from-white-men-in-tech-career-advice-for-women-in-securityhttps://elpha.com/posts/gaxipdd3/salary-negotiationhttps://elpha.com/posts/rs1ay6fi/salary-negotiations-for-women-how-to-earn-a-higher-paycheckOutside of Elpha, 81 cents is a really good resource as well.Most of these are general negotiation advice, I haven't come across any in a social work field but I think a lot of these tips might apply! Good Luck!
