What Huge said. Ask for a little more. Now's the time. If they say no, you're still happy.

I guess depends very much on how much they crave what you're bringing. If you get a sense they are really into you, and you know you can smash this Job outta the park then maybe see if you can squeeze anything else. Better to ask now cos once you're in you don't know how often you'll get the opportunity for bonuses, raises etc.
On the other hand if you think you just chanced it and luck was on your side then thank your lucky stars and snap that job up quick.

And well done! 😀

Always negotiate!!! The worst they can say is no and no one rescinds an offer if you try to negotiate.

Give them a higher number and say “it would make it an easy decision for me” - negotiation is about them winning by helping you

Ask for less, that will show them who's boss.

From an agency I really like in our new city. Package overall is great, fair compensation, benefits PTO etc.... I might be a little old school here, but I was always taught to negotiate. If everything seems fair or above fair in terms of financial & benefits, do I still push for more? Torn 😳

Hello Fishes,
I got an opportunity from NTT Data BPO.
I am currently being hired for nightshift. Are there any chances for getting day shift or mid shift?
Or are there any chances to get a change in shift after getting on boarded?
Will it be okay to discuss this with HR?
Because during interview I said yes to Night Shifts.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
