    Negotiating hard works fantastically well for people who work in information technology.

      It doesn’t unless you’re part of the absolute minority even in IT. You need to be really qualified for this.

      Your run off the mill network guy or admin will not have success with this.

        I would argue that experienced quality - or even serviceable - IT is the absolute minority, to begin with.

        There are organizations that aren’t one bad day in IT away from starting a company-ending death spiral, but they’re not typical.

        Many CEOs and HR professionals underestimate that risk, but that underestimation is a self-correcting problem over time.

        IT professionals may lose the current opportunity by negotiating, but their next opportunity isn’t (statistically) far in the future.

        As a bonus, employers who are averse to having IT employees negotiate tend to be lousy employers
