salary range of $165k

I second-guessed my salary target due to fear of anchoring too high

What I wish I knew
"Negotiation is about finding a mutually beneficial agreement, not just securing the highest possible salary"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be confident in your worth, but also be prepared to negotiate and find a compromise"
