“I’m looking to make X” and offer no explanation. If they push say “based on my discussions with other agencies I think that’s within the appropriate range for my level.” And if they say no you say “Totally understand if the budget doesn’t work this time. Hopefully we can make it work in the future!” And be prepared to walk away.

I just told a recruiter, "if you get me more than x, then I won't counter you". Telling someone they can do less work if they just get it right the first time seems to be a decent motivator.

Must be screamed into the phone during interview.

You have to phrase it as if you’re doing more for them than they are doing for you.

If you’re a account director, and you’ve increased the profitability of multiple accounts then that deserves a raise. If you helped retain an account if it was put up for review, that is worth mentioning. So is mentoring younger account managers and account executives.

Did you help win a new business pitch?

If you helped sell in a risky creative piece of work that is going to win some awards, that’s a big deal, as it’s being a general good vibe around the office...

The best phrase is ‘I’ve added value this last year and that needs to be reflected in my compensation’

like

I believe in my value.
And
I am prepared to walk away.

Saying 'Im prepared to walk away' is about 1/10th as powerful as having an outside offer in hand. Be careful with that one...

I turned down an offer. I told them it was a fair offer for a more junior person. Then I wowed a person in a high place and got the salary I wanted.

You have to be prepared to walk, and for them to say no.

Everyone does what’s best for them. We forget that but they know it. And you know they want you (bc of the aforementioned leverage). So don’t be shy about it.

How do you paint it as a win/win? For example, ‘What can you do to make it easy for me to stay.’

Awesome advice everyone

If your inside looking to negotiate and stay then I would say something along the lines of ‘Take a look at all that I am currently doing to keep the following of your plate. I think you need to ask yourself whether you want to have to take ownership of this while training someone new to do all this work and hope they do it as well.’

Hi Fishes,

I got offer letter from Mphasis. Any idea about Morgan Stanley Account.

And what are good/bad about joining Mphasis.

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

(“Real jobs” in accounting, finance and private equity.)

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
