Negotiating compensation is one of the most daunting and nerve-wracking aspects of the job hunt. “What are your salary requirements?” is perhaps the most dreaded question I hear job seekers discuss. Start with too high of a figure and you may scare off a potential employer. Start too low and you may be leaving money on the table.

How and when you negotiate salaries requires different strategies depending on the type of position and employer. For example, playing hardball with an international organization with strict pay bands isn’t likely to get much traction, but may work when negotiating a consulting day rate with a private company.

When it comes to negotiating salaries for international positions on a USAID funded project, there are a unique set of rules to consider. Here are three things to know when negotiating compensation for an international position tied to a USAID-funded contract.

1. Your salary history, not market rates, will dictate your pay.

While common advice suggests doing market research on prevailing salaries in your professional area to determine what you should be paid, market forces don’t have much weight when it comes to negotiating a USAID-funded position.

If you’ve ever applied to a job with a USAID implementer, you’ve likely completed the 1420 employee biographical data form, often referred to as a biodata or ebd. This document, typically required by all personnel charged to a USAID contract (but can also sometimes be used on cooperative agreements and grants) requires candidates to include their salary in the previous three years — excluding bonuses, benefits or additional allowances.

USAID will typically allow contractors to apply a modest 3 to 5 percent raise on your previous year’s salary and in some cases up to 10 percent with the maximum salary topping out at $648.85 per day (as of 2015). Trying to negotiate a salary beyond what your salary history dictates is unlikely to be successful and more likely to aggravate your would-be employer to the point where they may reconsider their offer.

This can become a challenge if you’re coming from an industry where, for example, a large percentage of your compensation came in the form of a bonus or you took a big pay cut for an otherwise great work opportunity. In these scenarios, the employer may try to advocate on your behalf for an exception, but often are not willing to jeopardize their relationship with the client to negotiate a higher rate.

2. Allowable benefits aren’t always budgeted benefits.

The United States Department of State publishes set allowances per country location that any contractor receiving USAID funds is allowed to bill to the government as long as it is provided for in the project budget. This can include post-differential and hazard pay allowances as well as rest and recuperation travel and separate maintenance allowances.

If you’re negotiating at the project proposal stage, when the budget is still being created, you have more leverage to request these allowable benefits as part of your package. This is especially the case if they see you as a candidate key to winning the contract and won’t want to lose you to the competition. However, if they are not aggressively recruiting you and instead you are eagerly pursuing the job, know that requesting all the bells and whistles could result in them selecting a candidate that won’t increase the budget as much.

If you’re negotiating for a position that has already been funded, there may not be budget available for all of the allowances you seek. For example, if the person who previously held the role had no children and you do, the contractor may not have any room in the budget to provide for an education allowance. How much the employer is willing to divert funds from other line items, if it is even possible, depends on how eager they are to hire you.

You can look up what is allowable per location on the State Department website.

3. Get creative in how you structure your deal.

If the salary and benefits an employer can provide is limited by a fixed budget or strict regulations, look for alternative ways to make the deal more attractive.

For example, if the project cannot pay your full day rate, see if they can arrange a fixed fee contract or increase the number of days. Request benefits like a housing allowance that can make up for a lower salary. If an assignment requires a lot of overseas travel, see if some of that work can be done from home — where your expenses will be lower — instead.

If you’re willing to take a cut in your total compensation package, opt for cutting benefits over reducing your base salary so you won’t impact future earnings based on your salary history.

Ultimately, there isn’t a lot of room for negotiation on USAID-funded contracts. What is perhaps more important than compensation is considering the reputation of the contractor as someone who treats their employees and consultants well, your passion for the mission of the specific project and your longer term career goals.

A postgraduate education is typically an essential component of a global development professional’s career path. A quick peek at the job postings on Devex or other job boards will  reveal that an overwhelming majority require, or strongly prefer, candidates with a master’s level education or higher.

In fact, 79 percent of professionals believe the global development workers of the future will need a postgraduate degree to be successful in their careers, according to a recent Devex study conducted in partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development and Population Services International.

But even if you’ve decided to pursue a master’s degree, how do you narrow your choices of study?

A master’s in international development or international relations can be an obvious and sound choice for those looking to propel their career in international development. It was ranked as the number one most in-demand degree for future hires in a Devex survey of recruiters earlier this year. However, there are many more degree programs out there that can be equally, or even more, in demand.

As you consider the next step in your global development education, here are 12 additional graduate school programs to consider.

1. Master’s in public policy or administration

MPP or MPA programs are a popular choice for global development professionals. The public sector plays a critical role in aid funding and delivery so understanding how to effectively manage public institutions and how policy impacts aid efforts are highly valued skills.

2. Master’s in business administration

An MBA is quickly becoming a coveted credential in the global development space. As public-private cooperation increases and organizations look to bring business best practices to the developing world, MBA graduates are increasingly in demand. In fact, in a survey of recruiters Devex conducted earlier this year, 38.5 percent named an MBA as the most in-demand degree they seek in future hires, second only to a master’s in international development.

3. Master’s in public health

While clinical degrees like nursing and social work are also in demand, most global health positions are not clinical jobs. Positions typically focus on the community, national or even global level and look at the systems and policies impacting areas like nutrition, infectious disease and maternal and child health. An MPH program provides a well-rounded education in areas like health policy, social and behavioral sciences, epidemiology and biostatistics.

4. Master’s in engineering

From building roads and bridges to mobile phone apps and innovative technologies, engineers of all kinds are in high demand in the global development space. In addition to technical skills, successful global development engineers are also innate problem solvers with strong analytical skills and soft skills like cultural sensitivity and empathy.

5. Master’s in education

Education is a pillar of global development work, so naturally experts in education are in demand to lead these programs. However, you may not want to stop at a masters. If you look at senior level positions in education, you will find that many require a doctorate degree.

6. Master’s in anthropology

While perhaps not as in demand as other degree programs, as the recent Ebola outbreak illustrated, anthropologists can have a powerful role in development. Understanding how and why people of a different cultures think and act the way they do is a critical component to developing interventions and programs that don’t do more harm than good. Like education and some of the other social sciences, however, you may find that a Ph.D is ultimately necessary to continue down this career path.

7. Master’s in environmental sciences

From conflict mitigation, to energy, to food security and health, climate change and the environment are a crucial component of global development work touching almost every sector. Degree programs that focus on environmental sciences, climate or natural resource management are increasingly in demand. Thirty-one percent of recruiters Devex surveyed listed it as a top in-demand degree for future hires.

8. Master’s in agriculture science

Crop irrigation, seed production, animal husbandry and many more aspects of agriculture and livestock are an essential component to increasing food security around the world. A wide range of expertise that falls under agriculture sciences are in demand across the development industry.

9. Master’s in nutrition/food science

Also a component of increasing food security, trained nutritionists are also increasingly in demand. A heavily academic crowd, this is another specialty where you may need to pursue a doctorate degree.

10. Juris doctor/master of laws degree

Trained lawyers are in demand to work on democracy and governance, rule of law and human rights projects. Lawyers are also often sought to oversee contracts and procurement, an overlooked but essential part in the business of global development.

11. Master’s in urban planning

Housing, transport, infrastructure and resilience programs all rely on urban planners to help promote smart growth and development in rapidly growing urban areas around the world. Architecture is an alternative path to consider but you may find opportunities not as plentiful as those with a degree in urban planning.

12. Master’s in economics

Ranking third place in our recruiter survey of the most in-demand degree programs, a master’s in economics, econometrics or statistics is a highly coveted credential from organizations like the World Bank and other international finance institutions, typically preferring a Ph.D. The quantitative and qualitative analysis skills gained from this kind of training can also prepare you for a career in monitoring and evaluation.

One advertised job in development or human rights can get hundreds of applications and everyone wants to stand out. But you don’t want to stand out for the wrong reasons. We asked a panel of recruiters in the sector to share their advice on what not to include on your application.

The panel

• Graham Salisbury, head of human resources, Action Aid


• Michael Wright, director of membership and communications, Bond


• Louise Court, head of human resources, Amnesty International

“The worst cover letter I ever received was one where the applicant included a picture of their entire family tree just to point out they were related to some great social campaigner,” recalls Graham Salisbury. “But I wanted to interview him, not his great grandfather.”

Michael Wright says that, from a recruiter’s perspective: “You’re always looking for means to cut the pile of job applications rapidly, so if there’s a spelling mistake or if the text is too dense, I’m going to put their CV to one side – they’re making me work too hard.”

But how else can you avoid ending up in the rejects pile?

Don’t think you’re God’s gift to development

“I’ve definitely seen young people come through who are over-confident about their value to us,” says Wright. “Just assuming because you’ve got a degree in politics from a good university that you’re an amazing commodity is stupid when you’re competing against applicants from the whole of the EU who also have vocational experience.”

Don’t say you want to ‘save the world’

Be clever about your skill set, what you’ve achieved, what your value to us is. Don’t go over the top – we’ve had applications that while well meaning border on cringey, says Court. “People talking about wanting to work at Amnesty ‘all their life’ or start their application with ‘I would be deeply honoured and indebted to work for you’.”

Don’t talk about ‘wanting to give back’

“The charity sector does attract people coming towards the end of their career and these people often make it sound like a huge sacrifice that they’re giving up their six-figure salary to come work for us,” says Salisbury. “I once had a bloke who didn’t want to be a dentist anymore so sent me a CV to apply to be a campaigns officer.” If you’re a career changer, focus on the unique skill set you can bring instead – and apply for a role you’re qualified for.

Don’t rely on a CV you wrote in 1998

For older applicants who’ve held the same role for a long time, Wright says, talk to your colleagues who’ve applied for jobs more recently about how the process has changed.

Don’t be a cyber candidate only

If you’re interested in an organisation, get face-to-face time as soon as possible. Track down someone from the specific department you want to work for, advises Wright.

Don’t cut and paste cover letters to different organisations

“One candidate once wrote to me saying his life long ambition was to work for Oxfam,” says Salisbury. “He was applying for a job with Action Aid.” Sending out lots of applications at one time may give you a big buzz but it also hits harder when all the rejections come back. Tailor applications to a few places where you realistically have a chance.

Don’t lie on yes/no questions

If you answer no to a killer question on an online application form, don’t go back and change your answers to say you speak Portuguese, have the right to work in the UK and have five years’ project management experience. This has been a big issue with international applicants, according to Salisbury.

Don’t use pointless jargon

“Stuff like ‘I’m a high-achieving, task-focused, self-starter’ is a lot of meaningless rubbish,” says Wright. “I’m left just thinking ‘who is this?’ Applicants need to relax and be more confident in being themselves.”

Don’t waffle

This applies to job applications and interviews, according to Court. You need to get quickly to the competencies.

Don’t pigeonhole yourself into one role

“On the flip side, I’ve found applicants are often too restrictive on their cover letters about their goals and how they can fit into the sector,” says Wright. “There’s a huge diversity of jobs in development but people tend to ignore IT roles, marketing, even fundraising. There’s lots of evidence you can move departments once you’ve got that first role, but right now one-third of all jobs are in fundraising.”

Don’t be the person with the 15-page CV

“I’ve had so many bad CVs, ones with no punctuation and whole words missing, but I’ve also had 15-page CVs with affidavits, testimonials and their PhD thesis attached,” says Wright.

Don’t go to an interview unprepared to talk about what the organisation does

“The trait that annoys me most in job applicants is the alarming lack of research some do,” says Wright. “One of the first interview questions I’ll ask applicants is ‘Can you tell me a little bit about what Bond does?’ It’s an easy question but it’s often one people fail and it’s really off putting to an interviewer when people don’t even have a good understanding of what we do.”

Don’t say ‘we’ when you mean ‘I’

“When asked to talk about a project you’ve worked on, replying with ‘Well, we did…’ suggests to us that you didn’t make a significant contribution,” says Court.

Don’t ask questions to demonstrate what you already know

“I’ve interviewed people for entry-level roles and they’ve started questions with: ‘I see in your annual report you mentioned XYZ… what’s the organisation’s five-year strategy for this?’”, recalls Salisbury. Ask questions that show you’re genuinely looking for information.

But… do put yourself in your recruiter’s shoes

“People we’ve rejected sometimes try to open up a dialogue but it’s really frustrating when people ask for feedback repeatedly,” says Wright. “We recently recruited for a junior administrative and research role, for which we got 270 applications. How long do applicants think we spend on them?” Don’t let things as basic as not following instructions on the application knock you out of the race.
