Why role-specific negotiation matters
Generic salary negotiation advice misses the point. A software engineer negotiates equity grants and sign-on; a teacher negotiates TLR allowances; a sales executive negotiates accelerator tiers. The mechanism is different by role — what's negotiable, what isn't, and how the conversation lands. Each guide here is calibrated to that role's actual market behaviour, drawn from twelve years of UK placement work.
