For salary negotiations, should you do them by phone or email? Is it the HR person or hiring manager who has the final say?

Phone 100%. Put the pressure on with your demands. email gives too much time and sucks waiting for a response.

like

A recruiter that says one thing and hands over a document without the agreed upon numbers is a piece of shit. Over the phone discussions allow you to share your thoughts, discuss in detail and say what you want while also putting on the "pressure" for a response. If they can't pull the numbers out of the air they'll say they'll get back to you. Plain and simple. As for double checking that everything lines up , that's on you before you sign anything.

Email means you have it all in writing though.

I think phone, I think it's hard to capture the nuance in an email. HR vs hiring manager depends on role/company

Definitely phone it could prove to be not only a salary bump but also a title change and the hiring director knows what's available in their power.

I’m an MS Management Student graduating in June 2023. I applied to over 40 positions within the Big 4/MBB and even with extensive networking, I haven’t heard back from any really. I have an offer from a pretty well-known but less prestigious Consulting Firm, but I’m wondering what my chances even are of going Big 4/MBB if I’m not a campus hire. Will they even consider me for an experienced hire a year or two down the road if they showed no interest this time? Any advice welcome!

Hey Fishes, happy Sunday!

My sister had received an offer letter for the "Functional Consulting - Analyst" role on 7th September, 2021. Been over a year now but have not heard back anything.

Although when we were able to get in touch with an HR, we were assured that we would be receiving a call letter after a month/week but that was 4-6 months back... No correspondence since then.

Anyone in a similar situation? Is there a clear way to know when the call letter would be released?
