Josh Puetz is an engineer with over 20 years of experience making mistakes and telling stories about them. A veteran of several startups, he’s currently a principal software engineer at DEV where he creates software to support sustainable Internet communities. He lives in picturesque Door County, Wisconsin with his husband and daughter, where he enjoys coffee, CrossFit, and writing about himself in the third person.

This talk is for developers of all skill and experience levels. We'll follow a new developer as she negotiates salary and benefits as part of a job offer.

In this talk, we'll cover:

• Reasons why we don't negotiate (and why we should)
• Finding your market value
• Ways to negotiate salary & benefits
• How to make a decision

and I'll provide some next steps!

This talk will be presented as part of CodeLand:Distributed on July 23. After the talk is streamed as part of the conference, it will be added to this post as a recorded video.
