&lt;p&gt;The most difficult part of any salary negotiation is that feeling that you&#39;re always leaving something on the table. Unless you&#39;re interviewing with an organization that makes its salary data public, the chances are that you&#39;ll never truly know if your offer is on par with what your new colleagues or your predecessor are making.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But negotiating for a better offer can be tough: money is an emotive issue for many people, and something that is often wrapped up with a person&#39;s concept of their self-worth (not to mention their ability to meet their needs on an ongoing basis).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the following video from Yahoo Finance demonstrates, there are a number of do&#39;s and don&#39;ts to pay attention to when you&#39;re involved in a negotiation. For me, the most important one is about being fore-armed: if you walk in having done some research on what the position should pay, you&#39;ll be in a much stronger position to argue for a better offer—or some additional perks and benefits—if the initial offer doesn&#39;t meet your needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the rest of the tips, which come courtesy of former Vault contributor Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, check out the video below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://finance.yahoo.com/video/5-tricks-next-salary-negotiation-161616552.html?format=embed&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; mozallowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; webkitallowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowtransparency=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/salary-and-benefits/how-to-evaluate-competing-job-offers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;How to Evaluate Competing Job Offers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/salary-and-benefits/is-salary-negotiation-on-the-way-out-1/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Is Salary Negotiation on the Way Out?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/blog/salary-and-benefits/the-male-and-female-guide-to-salary-negotiation/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Male and Female Guide to Salary Negotiation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
