Say you have aced the interview and is now on your way to negotiating your salary with the employer, make sure that you get what you deserve. You know the last thing you want is getting paid way below you’re worth as a professional.

Here are some salary negotiation mistakes to avoid:

1. Accepting what is being offered. In the first place, the reason why it is called a negotiation is that mutual concerns can be raised and a conclusion can be achieved upon consensus.
2. Giving salary pitch too early. Patience is key in every negotiation. Asking about salary and compensation could give the wrong impression that you’re focused is just money.
3. Taking salary offer verbally. A salary offer has to be put in writing to set things straight. Any legitimate company won’t have problem doing it.
