What is an advance business analyst and how to become one

First and foremost, advocate for yourself. Do your research in advance and be prepared to defend your request. Consider grades in school. If you had the rubric, you likely forecasted your grade on any given assignment based on that tool. If the grade received didn't match, you referred back to the rubric to defend your expectation. Salary negotiation isn't much different. Do your research. Research the company and see if they post information on their compensation plan. Things to look for include a hiring range (often posted as a minimum - midpoint of the salary range), compensation philosophy (e.g., market-based, based on years of experience, consideration of experience in lieu of education and vice versa, pay for performance). Also, research industry compensation. Without pulling specific compensation studies, there is still a lot of information available to you, such as O*Net OnLine (https://www.onetonline.org/). Note that ranges for any given company can vary based on their compensation philosophy and industry (e.g., entertainment versus education), state of business, and even county they are conducting business in. Think about what's important to you in an offer and where you're willing to compromise. For example, would you accept a lower salary with better benefits (e.g., medical, retirement, paid time off)? What about a robust tuition reimbursement program that would pay for graduate school? Have an idea of what your "floor" is for salary and a total compensation package, along with areas you're willing to compromise.
