Greetings! Does anyone have any advice on the etiquette of negotiating for a higher post doc salary? I am thinking: unofficial, clinically-focused post docs. That said, I would appreciate input on other types of post docs (official, research-focused, etc.). This seems to be a gap in my program's and internship's training.
(Snarky aside: the speaker in the latest prof dev training kept saying "Always ask for more money!" over and over, and provided no more details. Like, dude, I know more money is better, but should I ask for a 5% raise or a 50% raise? Do I ask the VA for a raise, cause I don't think that's gonna fly... Do I ask for better health care? funded child care? EPPP stipend? conference stipend? GIVE ME SOME SPECIFICS, DAMN IT! "Well, you should always ask for more money...")
