I was recently offered a position with a generous salary. After showing my excitement and thanking them, I simply asked “is there room for negotiation?” The recruiter was very cool about it and went back and found a little more money.

I don’t think there’s any harm in simply asking the question

I personally think it’s always fair game to negotiate. They may not be able to accommodate you given the circumstances but doesn’t hurt to ask. Of course, the trick is to ask gracefully, in a way that won’t piss them off and leave a bad aftertaste for you if you don’t get what you want.

Just give them a slightly higher number and say that would make it a no brained yes..... they want to close the offer.

Hi, Is there any variable pay concept in OpenText, above the fixed salary?

I may have an opportunity to move from D to a large e-commerce company. I do SC, I love SC, I dont want to stray too far from SC. However, this leadership role is focused more on setting comp strategy for its 10-15k employee SC workforce. Its not an HR position, at least organizationally (it sits under COO). Comp would be a nice bump.

Is doing comp strategy for the supply chain workforce going to pigeonhole me such that i wont be able to do "true" SC work in the future?

What would you do?
