Do you always counter a job offer and try to negotiate a higher salary, even if the offer is within your ideal range? I’m starting to apply for roles again after a few years and I’d love some tips on how to approach this.

I usually ask for what I think is fair. If I’m happy with it that’s all that matters. If you have a good reason to counter then by all means do so.

So true! Thanks for responding.

I don’t think you have to every single time, especially if the offer already feels good to you. But if you can ask in a reasonable way, it’s usually worth at least seeing if there’s any flexibility. A lot of it just comes down to your comfort level and how happy you’d be accepting it as is.

Great points! Thanks for sharing
