How can I get competitive pay?

To get competitive pay, you first must do your research. Using online resources, calculate the median pay for your position. Also research the current job market and figure out if your job is competitive. Consider your geographical location as well and factor in cost of living expenses. Research pay structures based on experience.

When all this is said and done, then determine your goals. Set a salary for yourself and decide whether you would accept benefits in lieu of a higher salary. Finally be persistent and flexible without compromising your goals.
