Salary Negotiation Quiz

Question 5 of 14

Your Answer: TRUE

Q5 is a bit tricky and could go either way. First, remember what you've learned so far: always postpone any salary talk until there's a firm offer. From that point, you have the choice to go first or second depending on what's valued more: security, or highest dollars.

Generally, YOU go first for the best chance at the highest dollars and let THEM go first to lock in a good offer no matter what follows. But this "who goes first" strategy is beyond the scope of this True/False test. You'll find it explained better by reading Salary Making Rule #2 in the Free Advice section of this website. And, of course, you'll be best prepared by Chapter Four of your copy of Negotiating Your Salary, How to Make $1,000 a Minute.
