What's the salary for a SA at KPMG London?
Negotiating with EY for M/SM Tech Consulting. I have 15 years experience, skills are in demand and my interviews went extremely well. 1. What are the salary ranges for M and SM in NYC. 2. I am told it is only going to be a M now, for my own benefit-no EY network means failure at selling. Whats the highest salary I can negotiate at M. Any other tips will be handy. I have "sold" (support on sales & new roles through relationships) plus I have solid delivery experience. I really want SM 😀😀😀 EY

I mean, I think you always need to expect a counter. That’s just basic “taking a new job 101”. But don’t feel bad to say no, our original offer is our final offer.
You can also make that clear when the offer is initially delivered.
I would hope you would not be having an emotional reaction. Of course they're going to the counter. You would too. Your response should be a business response and not create any bad feelings between you and the candidate that you have vetted and chosen.
Experiencing any of those emotions you mentioned is juvenile. It is expected that the candidate will counter. That’s simply negotiation 101.
The money isn’t coming from your pocket. Give it to them anyway! Talent will always be sought after. It is your job to attract and retain not get in your feelings about standard salary negotiations.
I’m absolutely fine if they do - they should, I would. I generally put a 5% into the offer to give space to accommodate it.
My own feeling is neutral, if I’m being honest. I expect candidates already have a sense of their own value and what the market will bear.
On the other hand, I have worked with managers who see a counteroffer as a red flag and immediately withdraw the offer. I think that is kind of cutting one’s nose off to spite one’s face, but it is that manager’s position and that manager’s budget.
