Best is in my opinion to really practice salary negotiation with a friend. The most important aspects are:

1) Talk about salary at the very end of the interview process (by then the company should know your value).

2) Let the recruiter / manager say a number first.

3) If you get the offer, no matter how you feel, act satisfied, but not too satisfied.

4) Try to negotiate up reasonably.

I talk more about this in my talk at Europython on tech-recruiting and salary negotiation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be...

Disclaimer: I am a recruiter. If you're looking for a tech job in Zurich, I probably can help you out - you find my contact details in my HN handle.
