Get Paid: How to negotiate a higher salary



Anyone frustrated with their salary? I know the feeling. Here's some advice via yahoo finance:

Many employers won’t extend their best offer unless you negotiate, says Monych. So now is the time to use all that research and come up with a desired salary range. Don’t be afraid to ask for a 10% increase from your last salary -- especially if you were underpaid. Ranges for five-figure salaries should be within $10,000 (for example, $60,000 to $70,000), while six-figure salary ranges can be wider (say, $100,000 to $140,000).

I don't think anybody's negotiating for higher salaries in these times. Mugs is just happy to be employed.
