Ask HN: What are my options for interviewing and negotiating advice?

2 pointsby eboyjrover 6 years ago
I am currently approached by a startup who wary of working with me because of schedule conflicts from my university courses. They would like to know how much money I am expecting for this job. Of course I have many questions for approaching this. Should I offer to work hourly? Should I &#x27;pro-rate&#x27; my salary accounting for the hours I would be available to work? What kinds of arrangements can I expect will be suitable for a similar company?<p>What I would really like to know is: Aside from posting here, I think the general audience would like to know what resources are available for working through this. Are there companies who provide this? People in the community?

From a developer point of view one frequent advise is to never give a number first.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kalzumeus.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;01&#x2F;23&#x2F;salary-negotiation&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kalzumeus.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;01&#x2F;23&#x2F;salary-negotiation&#x2F;</a> has a chapter on that.<p>&gt; Are there companies who provide this?<p>Yes, well, consultants and ebook writers. Most seem to target freelancers who want to raise their prices though, not job starters.
