Does anyone have any tips that actually work on negotiating a salary?
My friend and I are trying to figure out how to squeeze a few more thousands dollars out of an employer that hired him. He said he's just going to tell them the truth: Times is hard and he needs more money.
So we figured we'd give a mini-financial layout. He's got student loans, rent, utilities, transportation, and a car note. He's single with no family or friends to fall back on in LA and it's expensive as hell to live there. Is this too much information? We don't want to go for the sob story but he can't relocate if he's not ensured that he can take care of himself. This is just bare minimum to survive.
