<prompt> Human: Hi, I see a lot of posts on here about salary negotiation but none of them seem to fall under the same circumstances so I thought I should make a new post. Just to set the scene, at my current job I am a team leader of one of the busiest sales departments in the company. We are under staffed but we manage as best we can. Our department is given priority over other sales staff so if we need extra man power we can cherry pick from other departments. I am below the departments manager who is due to be going on maternity leave soon and I have been asked to take over as manager for the foreseeable. The sales mangers are on roughly around 30k a year where I am on 16k a year. I understand I wont just be walking in on my first day managing the team with that big of a salary, But I just need a bit of help in regards to what pay should I be aiming for and how to go about getting the correct pay. I wasnt sure what to include so let me know if you need any more info. on my phone so sorry for formating and spelling  <response>: Make a tight fist and say gimmie more money and then bang the table with the closed fist... Then lean back and smile confidently... Works every time
