For those with salary negotiation experience—how many rounds of back-and-forth have you gone through before finalizing an offer for one position? Do you typically negotiate just once, or have you successfully countered multiple times? Would love to hear what’s worked (or backfired) for you!

One round for my current job

Thanks for answering

I can’t imagine more than one round in this job market

Maybe not current day. But maybe previously- back in the day.

Know what you’re capable of and be able to speak to and justify the number you’re asking for. Also good practice to, “read the room” during negotiations. If they counter it’s a good sign they’re interested in you. If the don’t match or exceed, you may could give them a couple more honest reasons why you’re asking for that number if you think the discussions have been going well… also depends how badly you want the job..

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
