I’ve seen too many talented professionals accept lowball offers just because negotiation feels awkward. It doesn't have to be.

Do you always have to counter a salary offer? Even if you’re happy with it? I feel like I can ask more or should I just ask more for the benefits? thanks in advance

Hi Mary Daphne, if a company says the salary offer is non-negotiable, is there still room to ask for more? Or will that sounds I'm too pushy or interested in the offer?

How long should you stay in a job before asking for a salary increase? I've been working here in my company for 2 years now or is that too early?
