Do you negotiate salary every time? Even if you know the offer is already good?

Yes. No agency will ever give you their highest. Whatever offer they gave was based on the possibility you’d negotiate.

Only exception is if you’re working with a recruiter who you already told your desired salary to and the offer is exactly that. In which case, negotiate on number of PTO days.

Always, even if you love the offer ask for more. Also don’t respond yes immediately, take at least 24 hours to really review the offer and ask any questions.

Every time!

They’ll either accept or come back saying they can’t. No harm done as long as it feels like they’re open to the conversation and you set it up as a negotiation/conversation so they don’t withdraw their offer.

I have negotiated every offer ever except the one for my current job. Mostly because I found it to be more than fair and I respected that about the agency.

I usually push as high as I think I can go for the position in that market. And I turn down the agencies that won’t keep up with the market. Had to do that twice with one agency over the years. But was pleasantly surprised when an internal (female) recruiter offered me more than I dreamed at one agency.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise.

This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.
