Clearly, money should be a consideration secondary to establishing that you have found the right job opportunity with the right prospective employer.

However, having established this it is in your and your future employers interest to strike the right financial deal.

Use your recruitment consultant! Our experience in this area is valuable to you as we have dealt with many people in just your situation. We know the lie of the land and the market rate for someone with your skill and experience.

We are most interested that you receive an offer that motivates you and yet provides you with a future upside and incentive. We are also just as keen to ensure that our clients receive a good deal and that they pay you the right sum.

Our clients have no interest in paying you too little only to see you bid away by the competition sooner or later. Our role is to ensure that the right balance is struck.

Finally, resist any temptation to say that you earn more than you actually do. Eventually the truth will out. It doesn't look good! Honesty is the best policy. If you are seriously underpaid we will recognise this and present you in the best possible light. Help us by maintaining a regular and fruitful dialogue with us. This will ensure a successful outcome for both sides.
