Anyone have any advice on negotiating salary at a new job interview?
I'm afraid to ask too low cuz then I'm short changing myself.
I'm afraid to ask too high and scare people away.
Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
Also, not really sure what a Ph.D. programmer should
expect in commercial world these days.
I wouldn't worry about the too low part as much- if you're comfortable on
the money, thats all that matters.
I'd do some research on average salaries for the geographical area and
experience level, and base your number on how well you compare to that
average. There's a bunch of websites that collect such data. State your
demands firmly, but not arrogantly. Don't be afraid to counteroffer if they
lowball you.
As for the phd part- it depends on if your job is related to your area of
research. If it isn't, a phd isn't going to net you much more than a
masters or bachelors, it'll be all based on experience. If it is, you can
request a nice premium for expertise.
