What HR and the hiring manager look for

  1. Enthusiasm first: thank them and say clearly that you want the job.
  2. One specific number, not a range: they often meet you somewhere in between.
  3. Reasons based on facts (market data, your skills for this role, a real competing offer), not personal need alone.
  4. An alternative ready if the salary cannot move: a review date, a signing bonus, remote days, training or leave.
  5. A calm, collaborative tone: you are solving a problem together. Get the final terms in writing.
