you should at least be "shopping" so they feel like they need to incentivize you to stay when all of your colleagues leave

being secretive with salary has never served me well, especially in this economy where employers are screaming for developers. my tactic is a) apply to several jobs at once and b) pick a number so high your almost ashamed to say it and then add 10%. tell them this number as early in the process as possible. this way, they will say "no thanks" early and you can focus on the other jobs your applying for OR you go on and they have to talk you down from a stupid high number.

by talking about my salary and expectations with my coworkers, i was encouraged by another to ask for more during a negotiation and i got it. this was really helpful when put on the spot to give a number as well. it pays to talk about your salary imo

Diva Cupcake posted:are there any positives to having a federal job? other than the alternative being poverty and despair. defined benefit pension plan, decent benefits, legitimate work life balance. i have never worked an hour of overtime, a night, a weekend, or gotten a phone call outside of work which is extremely rare for someone in my field. by working a fed job you will probably be doing very important things far earlier in your career than you would elsewhere but this probably depends more on your field than anything else all for the low low cost of being significantly underpaid

Never really got the whole "never say a number first", it never loving works. Just say the highest of your expectations. It's really not hard folks.

lmao spotted in the wildquote:We’re creating a different kind of company at PoopFactory. We promise we will be never be ordinary. There will be many days you simply aren’t comfortable. You will be pushed to accomplish more than you ever thought possible. You will be challenged by your team leader and your peers to achieve more and to find better ways. With that said, we know PoopFactory is not for everyone. BUT, if you believe in yourself, enjoy a challenge and appreciate working with exceptional people, then PoopFactory could very well be the last company you ever work for.
