Ask HN: First salaried position – process/tactics?

1 pointsby ObligatoryRefalmost 11 years ago
After a long series of hourly and contract positions, I&#x27;m about to get offered a full-time, salaried position as a Quality Assurance Engineer for a large tech company (it was a contract-to-hire process).<p>I&#x27;m pretty inexperienced in this whole thing - none of my previous jobs have had much room for negotiation, I&#x27;ve never gotten benefits, and I&#x27;ll be making significantly more than ever before. I know very roughly what I should be making, based on what I&#x27;m making as a contractor now and the average salary for the position.<p>Is there anything major I should be looking out for with the offer? Do I have any leverage as a relatively inexperienced employee in a relatively low-level position?<p>Thanks in advance!
