Any experience negotiating start date and salary at GroupM? I’ve heard there’s a 3 week max start date after offer. I got what I asked for salary wise but I’ve been told never to accept a first offer?

I really do not agree with the “get what you ask for” group. Countering is normal even when a range or amount is first listed. I see now why so many just take their first offers now when I’m hiring...

3 weeks max ? huh ? that doesn’t make sense. it’s typically 3 minimum and if there’s a relo, it can be 4-6.

You don't accept the first offer if they've lowballed your ask. If they've given you what you've asked for then you should be happy. It's why you need to make sure your ask is really what you want. Don't lowball yourself in the beginning.

If they are giving you what you’ve asked for, coming back and asking for more makes you look like a jerk. Presumably you asked for what you wanted and what you think you are worth, they agreed with you, so you should be happy and take it

Thanks everyone, I asked for some negotiation based on something else in the package. Given a 👎

There isn’t salary info on Glassdoor for my job titles so I feel like I’m always in the dark 😩 I asked around though and I feel like my offer was fair.
