Today, I received a job offer that is $3,000 less than my current salary. I'm feeling a bit uncertain about how to approach the negotiation process. I want to make sure I can advocate for myself effectively without coming off as too demanding. I plan to research industry standards for my role and prepare a list of my skills and accomplishments to justify my request for a higher salary. I hope to find the right balance between being appreciative of the offer and asserting my worth. Any tips or advice on how to negotiate this would be greatly appreciated!
