I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

Are you swimming in offers? Do you have a job currently?
It might make sense to take the offer if you are unemployed. This market is Grade A rubbish right now, and shows little indication of improving soon.
Yes I am interested job
If you are already making that much i would say;
I appreciate the offer, but I currently make ($X) and while I wouldnt be against taking a cut this is steeper than I can financially allot for. Given my experience (note them) and Im hoping we can get to where we need to be as I am excited to work for (company).
You can also use this if you don't make that amount currently and swap out the first sentence to; While I appreciate the offer this is much lower than expected (add the rest ... given my experience...)
It never hurts to ask/bring it up. At the end if they say no you didnt get what you werent offered, and can decide then.
Do you have out of town job's I will be able to work out of town what do I have to do is the job near me or is it out of town I'm ready to go to work Leora Ward Thank you
Ask yourself, what is the least you’re willing to do this job for. If 15k less than what you were looking for is below your number, then the answer is no. If not, the answer is yes.
I’m not falling for that BS.
If there’s more money on the backend, it better be in writing.
Unless you're desperate or unemployed (or both), decline. People accepting low ball offers is what is getting us to where we are now. Agencies/companies are making record profits while we are barely getting by.

Without knowing your offer number, it's difficult to assess whether a $10-15K difference is significant. First, you should make a counteroffer and provide reasons for why you deserve the additional compensation. If that doesn’t lead to any movement in the negotiations, and if you like the company, consider negotiating for other forms of compensation that won’t cost the company extra money, such as an additional week of vacation. You could also ask for investments in your development, like training or certifications that are relevant to your job. If they still refuse to accommodate your requests, you have enough information to politely decline the offer and walk away.
Best of luck to you!
Negotiate…you can counteroffer or ask them what’s the budget for the position. Was the range salary posted for this position? If it was then you should think they would be comfortable with the median. If you have a number in your head (and there was no range) then definitely ask for their budgeted salary range or tell them your number and exactly why you are worth that value.
What %is that? On a 45k job, yes on a 115k job not really.
Make sure you have work life balance which is very important now a days.
It depends on what the offer is. If the 10 - 15k put me below what I’m making now, that would be a hard no. I need to be able to live somewhat comfortably. If it still put me a little bit above my current salary I would consider it if I really wanted the job.
Agree, they can low ball and keep re-training people or get a good employee who is loyal and stay because they're appreciated.
Counter offer with what you want and see what happens. I'm sure their offer wasn't as much as they could give you.
Ask if they are willing to negotiate. If you get a yes, present your salary with market data. If you don't get all the way there, ask for your salary to be revisited after 6 months. Unfortunately, employers are using the market to low ball candidates. I don't believe in that game and might think twice about employers who engage in this process.
