<human>:  How do I negotiate a better salary?
<bot>: Start by researching the market rate for your position - this will give you an indication of what you should be asking for. When you make your request, be confident and emphasize your value to the company, as well as emphasizing any successes or experience that you bring to the job. Be prepared to negotiate, as many employers will be willing to make a counteroffer. Finally, be sure to be courteous and respectful throughout the process.
