Do you have to negotiate the day you get the offer? I plan to ask the recruiter if I can think through it and go back to negotiate after. What are your successful tips and tricks to negotiate? I don’t have another offer in hand and like this position but just want to be prepared in case I don’t get what I expect.

No, I usually don’t. I review the offer and take time to do my research and counter. If you don’t have a competing offer, it’s difficult to have leverage. I would try to use your current comp in addition to stating the market rate for your skills. Best of luck, OP and congrats on the offer.

Depends what you’re negotiating for? Comp? PTO? Sign on bonus? WhAt do you want? If comp do your research with public things like Glassdoor to validate how much you should be paid - some recruiters do put their best foot forward from the get go because they are trying to close and get to the next one so depends if it’s a fair negotiation or you’re just negotiating to negotiate..

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool.
