2. Go cherry picking.
When your salary negotiations start, remember this terrific bargaining technique called "cherry picking": Imagine that you and the employer are under a cherry tree. You’ve loaded lots of bargaining “cherries” on the tree, knowing that not all of them will get picked. The manager, feeling pretty smart about his bargaining skills, will likely pick a few of your "cherries" and leave the rest. Likewise, you can pick and choose from what he has to offer. In the ideal salary negotiation, you and the employer walk away smiling, feeling that you both got a good deal.
