You can use online resources like Glassdoor or Salary.com to get this information.Be confident. When you're negotiating, it's important to believe in yourself and your worth.

Even if you're not happy with the offer, it's important to be professional throughout the negotiation process. This means being respectful of your employer's time and being polite even if you disagree.Negotiating a job offer can be daunting, but it's important to remember that you have the power to get what you want. To be a guest on The JOB Doctor Click HereOrder Tessa's Book "The Unspoken Truths for Career Success: Navigating Pay, Promotions, and Power at Work"
