Fishies, what do you say to a global $$ future ad agency employer when you are interviewing for a very senior CD role, you crushed the interview(s), have an award winning portfolio with both Art & Copy campaign creation and then they say — we just probably can’t afford you.

“Too bad”

Don’t let them guess. AND make them give them their number first.

Negotiate from there.

Everything is negotiable. Time, money, perks… get the most of whatever is important to you.

Don't negotiate against yourself. Let them talk numbers first and find out what exactly they're talking about. What they're saying could just be a ploy to get you to lowball yourself.

I think I would probably say try me and make them give me a number. Definitely do not give them your number first because that is what they want. Use their number to negotiate a higher salary for yourself and if it turns out they can't pay, onto the next thing.

I’ve always asked for a number very early on. Then decide if I want to have a second interview

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.
