Get Paid What you deserve

Remember Where You're Coming From
Your negotiating power will vary depending on your current employment situation. For instance, if are unemployed and applying for work, expect to earn approximately what your old salary was or slightly less, says Don Hurzeler, author of the book: The Way Up: How to Keep Your Career Moving in the Right Direction.
On the other hand, if you are being hired away from an existing position, Hurzeler doesn't suggest settling for less than a 20% salary increase unless you are completely unhappy. "Why would you leave a situation you know for one you don't know unless there is a breakthrough in salary?" he says.
