Kathleen <keamac -at- cox -dot- net> asked (not entirely off-topic), "Does anyone
have suggestions for salary negotiations?"
My fav method of introducing the right salary is providing Department
of Labor and local cost-of-living information. For instance, I may say
something like, "The DOL reported last year that a person of X
background with Y education and Z experience nationally earns an
average of X. Locally adjusted for a COL variable of Q and the
requirements for this position, you should reasonably expect to pay no
less than ... blah blah blah."
