> NEGOTIATE

Ask for more. With evidence.

Nobody gets paid what they deserve. They get paid what they negotiate. Here’s your number, the proof behind it, and what it’s actually worth after tax.

The evidence

No role-level data for “this role” yet (crowd data shows once 5 people report a role). The figures below are broad context only — don’t quote a sector median as “the market rate” for your job. Your strongest evidence will be salaries on comparable live job ads and any written offer you hold.

How to run the conversation

  1. Say a number first, and make it specific. €60,500 sounds researched; “around 10%” sounds like a guess.
  2. Negotiate the gross, budget the net. €5,500 extra is €241/month in your account — know which number matters to you.
  3. Have a fallback. A higher employer pension contribution is cheaper for them (no employer PRSI) and worth more to you than the same euro in salary at the 40% rate.
  4. Then stop talking. Get any agreement confirmed by email with the effective date.
