Hi Ava, thanks again for your help with the interview prep. I've heard back from a couple of companies and it looks like I might be getting offers soon. Any tips on salary negotiation strategies?
嗨,艾娃,再次感谢你对面试准备的帮助。我已经收到几家公司的回复,看来我很快就会收到offer了。关于薪资谈判策略你有什么建议吗?

Career Coach (Male)
That's fantastic news, Emma! Congratulations! Salary negotiation is crucial. The first rule is: never accept the first offer immediately. Always ask for time to consider it, even if it seems good.
那真是个好消息,艾玛!恭喜!薪资谈判至关重要。第一条规则是:永远不要立即接受第一个报价。即使它看起来不错,也要争取时间考虑。

Job Seeker (Female)
Okay, 'don't accept the first offer.' Got it. What about actual negotiation? How do I counter-offer without sounding greedy or pushy?
好的,'不要接受第一个报价。'明白了。那实际谈判呢?我如何在不显得贪婪或咄咄逼人的情况下提出反报价?

Career Coach (Male)
Good question. Always frame your counter-offer based on market value for your skills and experience, and the value you bring to the company. Do your research on typical salaries for similar roles in your industry and region. Be confident, not arrogant. You can say something like, 'Based on my research and the value I can add, I was looking for something closer to X amount.'
问得好。你的反报价应该始终基于你的技能和经验的市场价值,以及你能为公司带来的价值。研究一下你所在行业和地区类似职位的典型薪资。要自信,但不要傲慢。你可以这样说,'根据我的研究和我能带来的价值,我期望的薪资更接近X金额。'

Job Seeker (Female)
That's helpful. What about benefits or start date? Are those negotiable too?
这很有帮助。那福利或入职日期呢?这些也可以谈吗?
6
Career Coach (Male)
Absolutely! Everything is negotiable to some extent. If they can't budge much on salary, try negotiating for more vacation days, a signing bonus, professional development stipends, or even a flexible work arrangement. For the start date, be realistic, but don't be afraid to ask for a bit more time if you need to wrap things up or take a break.
当然!所有事情在某种程度上都是可以协商的。如果他们在薪水上不能让步太多,可以尝试协商更多假期、签约奖金、专业发展津贴,甚至灵活的工作安排。对于入职日期,要现实,但如果你需要处理一些事情或休息一下,不要害怕要求更多一些时间。

Job Seeker (Female)
So, it's not just about the numbers then. It's about the whole package. Are there any common pitfalls I should watch out for?
所以,这不仅仅是关于数字了。而是关于整个包裹。有什么常见的陷阱我应该注意的吗?
8
Career Coach (Male)
Definitely. A common pitfall is giving a firm number too early. Let them make the first offer. Another is negotiating just for the sake of it – negotiate only if you genuinely feel the offer is below your worth or market rate. And never, ever badmouth your current or previous employers during this process.
当然。一个常见的陷阱是过早地给出确切的数字。让他们先提出报价。另一个陷阱是为了谈判而谈判——只有当你真诚地认为报价低于你的价值或市场价时才进行谈判。在这个过程中,永远不要说现任或前任雇主的坏话。

Job Seeker (Female)
That's really insightful. Thank you, Ava. I feel much more prepared now.
这真的很有见地。谢谢你,艾娃。我现在感觉更有准备了。
