If you have a talent agent, let them handle salary negotiations for you.
Top 3 Reasons a Talent Agent is the Best Person to Negotiate Your Salary:
- A good agent manages & aligns salary expectations with both the candidate and the hiring manager from first introduction to offer letter signature, so there are no surprises.
- A good talent agent is an expert negotiator and has likely negotiated hundreds if not thousands of packages like yours.
- When pressured to negotiate for themselves, job seekers often undervalue and occasionally overvalue their financial worth — leading to disappointing offers for candidates who wanted more, or disappointed clients who expected less.

- Need to implement privacy by design policies and procedures.
