Are we really supposed to negotiate every job offer? I absolutely hate talking about money. It feels especially pointless since companies ask for your expected pay, only to turn around and offer a completely different amount. The whole process of negotiating is so confusing. Do you personally counter every single time, or do you accept it if the initial offer is fair?

Yes. You absolutely hate to talk about being fairly compensated for the job you do and sustain your lifestyle ? That is absurd.

You negotiate until they say it’s the final offer with no room for negotiation.

I made it through a final interview and they called with a job offer. I asked if there was any wiggle room on the salary. I also specifically told them I wasn't saying no to their offer. Instead of them saying no to increasing their offer, they left me hanging for 3 days and then sent me an email stating they were going in a different direction and had already reposted the position the night before. I was hurt very deeply because I have always been told to advocate for myself... to say I am now gun shy regarding salary negotiations is an understatement.. probably not what you wanted to hear, but it is true. Happened to me 3 weeks ago. The job market today is not what it was just a few years ago. I wish you all the luck in the world...

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I recently interviewed for VMLY & R for a senior account executive…I asked for $85k - $95k they said max they can do is $85k and that’s pushing but u looked on Glassdoor and the average is like $115k should I keep pushing for more?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
