are in good mood and want to close the requirement.

deserve what you are asking for.

My Own Experience:
1. No matter whether I will win/lose in the negotiation I always made sure I
discussed with my HR about my salary expectations.
2. At first always be thankful to them for initiating the offer to you where it is
evident that you are an important asset for the role you were offered.
3. Whenever the talent acquisition reached out to me I always clearly stated
my salary expectation range and once they were fine to match it I went
ahead with the Interview process so that I don’t get disappointed at last
when my expectations were not met.
4. Emphasize more on why you deserve this hike, talk about your interview
performance, your achievements at work and how you are the right fit for
the role.
5. Showcase your genuine interest in joining the firm and how you can bring
value to the table.
6. This is all part of the game, sometimes you may win and sometimes you
may lose but the experience you gained is more valuable. Always make sure
you ask for what you deserve because YOU DESERVE IT !!!
