Coming back from a career break? Here's how you should negotiate your salary

Returning to work after a break requires negotiating for the rightful pay while showing interest in the job. To negotiate the right role, level, and salary, one must understand the company, the role, and the structure thoroughly. It is crucial to have a limit in mind while negotiating for a reduced salary. Other aspects should also be considered, such as the excitement of the role itself, learning provided, insurance and healthcare benefits, leave policy, variable pay, ESOP eligibility, mid-cycle revision, and signing bonus.
