Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Take the job to pay your bills. But, keep applying. If you jump ship after a few months, they did it to themselves by not paying you what you are worth.
would that go for contract jobs as well through staffing agencies?
Make 1 attempt at getting a higher base pay / sign on bonus. Then accept whatever they come back with. Then keep applying and leave with a new job offer
I agree.
Negotiate first. Unless they withdraw the offer, the worst they can happen is they say no. Say you're excited about the job and all you'll accomplish for the company in the role, however you're surprised since you shared your salary expectations at the outset and they did not share an accurate band in return. Would they consider revisiting the salary? And again, re-list all your stellar qualifications and how you'll bring them an excellent team member.
Take the job and apply to other roles while at it.
No it’s not, you can put what you want on your resume like Consultant 1 said. Do it and get your $$.
Tough, but evidently common scenario. I can empathize. Every company/situation different but here is my 3 cents:
1) What else of value is there? Can they pay for benefits 100%? Extra week or two of PTO? Hybrid, $$ for home office or phone/internet?
2) As mentioned by others, really highlight specific value proposition (why you want job, why they need you, how you will transform the role and add unexpected value, etc)
a) Then ask if they could give you a 3 month review or something and if they think you're a keeper- increase pay. (Emphasize that it costs them ALOT of time and money to hire someone new if someone leaves- you're just looking to save them the hassle- cause you want to plant some roots.
3) If the 20K is under your minimum, then you have to tell them you can't work for less than XX and your research into comparable compensations for those responsibilities has shown its a reasonable expectation. Be bold...even ask them where they came up with salary range they offer.
If you take this advice, they’ll pull the offer. Do not emphasize the costs associated with replacing you. Basically you’d be saying I’ll take the job, but I’m not sticking around. Why would they hire you after making a statement like that?
It's always easier to find a job while you're already working and least expect it to come along.
Same old formula....something is better than nothing... pay your bills/MED Insurances but keep pursue your dream job.
Pray for me more than over 1 year still on the Market
Take it, keep looking
Always take the $. Use their $ to pay you to look.
If you need the money you need the money. It doesn’t seem like you have a real choice to make mate.
They are not “lowballing” you. They are simply offering less than your own valuation of yourself Your actual value is somewhere between the market rate and lowest amount the company is willing to/has budgeted to pay the person in that role.
It’s a lot easier to find a job if you have one, so take this and look for something else. Or, take it, kick names and take ass and show them they should be paging you more.
😂 kick names and take ass?? Or kick ass and take names 😂
In my opinion many companies will low ball you and refuse to negotiate. I have learned to ask what their salary range is before I give them mine. Because generally they are already in the range that I'm willing to work with but every time I've given my salary requirements before they give them to me they low ball me. I do research on the company I'm interviewing for and see different salary ranges for that position and right them down. I will not go below what their salary range is. Always do your research. I learned that the hard way. Let's mention my favorite answer I've been given by a recruiter. "We pay market value" I check market value for said area and the market value was decent pay. This company came back to me with an offer a little over 30k under market value. I said no thanks and she wanted to know why. I sent her the email of 4 different salary ranges of same position and market value. Now, I will say a week later they called me back offering more PTO, higher end of the actual market value salary range. I stopped her there and said I am not interested in a company that does not value my worth. Did I need the job yes but I also am not working for a company that showed me blatantly in the very beginning that I will be nothing but a body. Few weeks later I received a job offer at a great company that knew my worth from the get go.
View it as a survival job. Take it but continue looking elsewhere.
I once needed a job bad I was a good salesman and had a following in my industry. So I took that job and didnt even ask the pay they were a leader and I saw potential! I was one of their star salesmen in a very short time but sadly things didnt work out with them. But I learned a lot more in my industry and went on to do very well!
What else can you negotiate? That’ll affect your bottom line? Like days working from home, additional PTO or additional hours of PTO, gym membership?
Congratulation!!! 8 month was a long time to get the job remember; take the job and keep applying. Once you get another offer try to renogotiate your pay if you like the company's culture. If not leave with a reason.
If you know you are worth more and you will exceed their expectations, negotiate a salary review within 3 - 6 months of your hire for an adjustment/increase closer to the amount you wanted. This allows them to get you in the door at the lower rate but once you have proven yourself, will get you an increase faster than waiting for a typical 1 year review and merit increase. You must ask for it upfront though, not after you are already in the door. I've done this a couple times in my career and allowed me to prove myself to get more money, but you have to be willing to do the work and blow them away. Outwork everyone around you and bring value to the company.
I agree with what someone else said. Try to have a discussion and counter if you can, but keep looking.
Take it, but keep searching and applying and interviewing for better until you get it's your new employer that created this scenario not you !
Counter half and then take it and keep looking
Take the offer. It’s hard to come by.
