  • Don't forget to negotiate your starting salary! Once you receive the offer, make sure you stick to the salary expectations you had (it’s easy to get excited in the moment) - ideally a $5k range with the lowest you’ll take at the bottom. #shorts

      Usually when you interview someone you ask them how much they want. If you meet their offer, and then they come back asking for more, I consider that dishonest. I don't want that person working for me. They get you on the hook and then up the ante. It's like negotiating for a car, you agree on a price, and once they figure out your willing to pay a certain price - then they come back and ask for more - that's bogus. As a manager I move on to someone less sleazy. There's always more fish in the sea. It's not the $$$$, it means I can't trust you.

    Candidate: Okay $4k would be fine.
    HR: How soon can you start?
    Meanwhile, the budget for the particular role is $10k . HR feels like they did a great job in salary negotiation and management will be happy they cut costs for the organization.
    The new employee starts and notices the pay disparity.
    Guess what happens? Dissatisfaction. Disengagement. Disloyalty.
    Two months later, the employee leaves the organization for a better job. The recruitment process starts all over again. This leads to further costs and performance gaps within the team and organization.

At my 6-month or one year review is when I’ve had significant pay increases because I’ve worked my tail off. If no raise is given then I’ll start looking for another job and then leave to the competition for usually a higher salary and better benefits. For the past three years I have left jobs for a higher salary and better benefits. Before quitting I let the current employer know I had a job offer and gave them the opportunity to match to have me stay. All of them let me walk. Now each of those previous employers have begged me to come back trying to match my current salary and benefits. Unfortunately if you’re good most places won’t know it until after you leave.

    75k

    85k
    Out of the 4 offers, I negotiated the lower three (using the higher offer). Two of which responded that it was non-negotiable, and one of the 75k offers gave me a new offer of 90k.
    Noticed that another comment also mentioned “don’t do it right out of college.” Negotiation does work right out of college as long as you are what the company is looking for.

A lot of things drive their reaction such as: how many applicants did they have that were just as qualified and experienced and how tight the job market is where you are because if there is a glut of applicants for every job they won't care how much YOU think you're worth they will offer what THEY have decided to pay because THEY do market research too.
    They will also not thank you for wasting their time when you should have told them during the interview that 75K wasn't enough because salaries are always presented during the interview. and they only talk salary after offering the job in rare instances and most often when asking you if you would consider taking less because you need training etc.

    Pro Tip: Usually companies will ask your salary expectations up front as a screener so they don’t get invested in someone who they can’t live without but costs too much. Tell them a ballpark at that stage that matches their expectations and say “but I’m flexible based on benefits.” Ask about things like pet insurance, dependents coverage, shit you’ll never actually need. Then later in the interview process when they make you an offer, ask for the top of the pay scale. When they agree, take off those benefits and request salary adjustments to reflect them. If you change your mind, request those benefits again during open enrollment.
    Also works when buying a car.

    After getting fired from a bank for the first time in my 20 year career I was looking for another job. I was referred to a bank by an exceptional employee. The pay was less but so was the responsibility. They offered me a good salary for the role but I knew they had more room. I told them I would love to work for them and the bank but that I needed them to come up higher in the salary. They could go another $5k. Which is what I told them I wanted but I couldn’t take the job at their offer. They came back with another $2,500. It was a good sign to me of their willingness to be flexible so I accepted.

Told me he had to start the vetting process all over again, and that this is not the way to do things when you start your professional career. I told him that if he was in my situation that he would have done the same thing, and that I don't understand why he's getting mad, he just cut me off and got more angry and didn't let me speak. I just wanted to tell him that I'm going for the other company, but my dad told me to negotiate.

    My story for this is recent but to your advice it is on the nose and absolutely correct. However I had gotten laid off from a company and during this they eliminated my role which they still needed. So a month later they post it up and I apply. I get through all the interviews and a few for some other companies. Now for my own sanity I wanted to go back to my old company since I knew the team and it would not be a huge adjustment. However as it currently stands I am waiting to hear back and this is after sharing with them the proposed band is not the market value they are asking for the position as well as sharing the base offers I had from other places. The worry I have is it feels like they are trying to run the clock on my ability to have options so they can low ball me.

    I’ve negotiated higher salaries before in a similar way. I said something along the lines of “based on my experience, I was expecting something closer to $$$”.

    I usually put my ideal salary expectation in my cover letter so that they know what I think I‘m worth. Then if I got an offer I can point to my salary expectation if it’s too low. I also think beforehand of benefits I would like like more vacation or a bike or a fitnessstudio and have a minimum salary I won’t go below - well and then you just try to find a compromise.
    For my last job I didn’t really need that fortunately because the offer was just slightly below my ideal salary.

    Unless you have access to proprietary salary survey data and are a compensation analyst, your “market data” is flawed!

Otherwise, consider the entire total rewards package: pay, benefits, wellness, career development, and work-life balance.

    This obviously depends also on the type of job, I would never not negotiate at the stage I am currently at. When you have no experience it might be a different story but you should definitely research well and negotiate as you move up in your career. In private companies especially but also public service they will usually leave room for negotiation, but the amount of room can vary a lot. Sometimes they really are giving you their best offer and they'll just reiterate that. Other times you can stand to gain a very good chunk of money.
