Salary Negotiation Tango

Congratulations, you’ve made it this far,

HR’s reached out, you’re a superstar!

They want to talk, they want to hear,

Why you’re shifting, what’s unclear?

Don’t say you hate your boss’s face,

Or that your desk’s too small a space.

Money’s a reason, but it’s not the whole,

Have a good reason, that’s the goal!

Tell them your growth’s hit a plateau,

You want to learn, you want to grow.

But let’s talk numbers, that’s the fun,

It’s all about how much you’ve won!

HR might ask, “What’s your current pay?”

Be honest, my friend, don’t delay.

If you want a 30% jump,

Say it loud and clear—don’t be a lump!

But do your homework, check the stats,

Know the market, know where it’s at.

If they don’t share, just ask with grace,

“What’s the salary range for this space?”

It’s a delicate dance, this salary chat,

Don’t be shy, just have a good hat.

Be prepared, be sharp, and stay cool,

You’ll ace this interview like a pro in the pool!

So walk in confident, stand tall,

When it’s time for the numbers to fall,

You’ll negotiate with style and flair,

And soon you’ll be signing that offer, with care!
