38. 38 NEGOTIATING: HOW should I negotiate? 1. Know what you must have before you interview
2. Get the job offer; respond positively but do not commit; ask for something in writing
3. Decide if it is a good overall fit. Can you succeed in that department? Do you want the offer? Is it a top choice?
4. If so, expect to ask for more but choose items wisely
Its a conversation about how you will succeedIts not good for either party to only go back and forth once.
-Senior research faculty, large biomedical instiution
As a rule of thumb you can expect to win roughly four important points of negotiation in your final offer.

39. 39 NEGOTIATING: HOW should I negotiate? 5. Prepare private list: Make a prioritized list of what you want that is not provided in the offer. What are the deal-breakers without which you will fail?
6. Prepare public list: If asked to provide a detailed budget
The more detailed the budget, the more credible
7. ASK ABOUT limitations and customs in the process
8. Begin negotiating: Start out with positive and enthusiastic comment, then ask for what you must have
9. As you go back and forth, ask about or suggest win-wins
Equipment: If you buy it, Ill maintain it and manage it
10. Negotiate with integrity this is not an ego trip
