this book became my bible when i was looking for a new job. i can't say how essential it was-- and yes, it worked. i landed a hot job at a young internet startup that became a major leader in the field, knew how to negotiate MY POSITION as opposed to the salary, and even got more money and stock after the company's first offer (which is never their best). miller goes into all the details-- doesn't leave a stone unturned. plus, lee miller is a mensch-- which means he's a decent, trustworthy, reliable, intelligent, thoughtful, caring man. it comes out on every page. ultimately, miller helped me realize that searching for a job is really all about knowing (and developing) your own self-worth-- in this case, you can take that literally!

Anyone who reads this book will be able to go into salary negotiations with confidence. The straight forward and easy to understand approach the author uses makes this book stand out. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about changing jobs or who believes he or she deserves a raise. This book is a must read for everyone who works for a living.

After reading this book I negotiated a significant bonus. If I hadn't read this book, I probably would not even have asked for one. I can't thank the author enough.

This book helped me negotiate a great deal. I can't recommend it enough. It is very readable and offers useable advice.The chapter offering advice for women was particularly helpful.

This book is full of information and negotiating strategies that are very useful for more junior executives, where hiring an employment attorney is probably not necessary. It enables you to do a decent job of getting the most you can without going over the line. It is especially good at giving practical examples that can help you make tradeoffs that create win-win outcomes (most negotiating books have this concept but are too abstract). Finally, it is very helpful in making sure you are protected if things don't work out. I bought some of the other recommended books in this category, but they are much too basic if you are an executive.

You may not be able to use all of the advice, but I doubt that anyone can read this book and not find something that they hadn't considered before. A $10 investment that could reap $1000s in increased salary - great preparation for your next salary negotiation.

This book give practical advise on negotiating which is understandable and easy to use.It should enable the reader to do better financially with a new employer. I was particularly impre with the Ten Commandments Of Employment Negotiations and the chapter ondiscussing your current salary.

I bought this book recently when I was changing my job. I was desperate to take the new job and would have taken the job even without negotiation.This book provided me the strategies to increase my salary by almost 10%. The book has several good examples ( that fit very well atleast to my situation ).

A must read even if you are not changing jobs.

I didn't think I would be able to do much negotiating in this job market. After reading this book though, I was able to improve my initial offer significantly even in this market. This book is great.

I actually took Prof. Miller for a course in negotiating and he was excellent. If you're not lucky enough to get to see him in person, read this book. He was on the management side and knows what they're thinking. If you incorporate some of these techniques in negotiating your next salary you will come out ahead. Also, most of these techniques can be applied to any negotiation. Read it, you will not be disappointed.
