Got a great job offer. About 25% pay raise. I think it’s a fair offer but I know I was under paid at Deloitte and I could get $5-10k more if I asked. I’m serious about this job and wondering if is it worth potentially jeopardizing a good potential role for a few thousand?

They won’t say “no never mind” and take back the offer. Negotiation is par for the course

like

“Would you be willing to consider an offer of (fill in the blank number).”

“Hmm, how does this offer compare to work being performed by others with similar roles? Would (fill in the blank number) be in line with those peers?”

Asking for more in negotiation doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn down the offer you were given. Even if you ask for more, recruiters will still want to hire you at what they initially offered assuming you counter offered. For example, recruiter offers you $100k. You ask for $110k, they say no. You say okay I’ll take $100k. Recruiter says “okay great!!”

If you think the offer is low and you believe you can get more, why not ask for it and explain why you believe you deserve it. Say it in a tactful way and the worse that could happen is that they will say no but the original offer should still stand. With COVID 19, 25% is a pretty good raise but if you firmly believe you deserve more, explain it to the recruiter.

Be specific as possible in your explanation rather than saying you believe you should be entitled to more. If you are generic in your request, they will likely say the original offer is very fair and at market. Don't go with KPMG 1's approach....they will just counter and say the original offer compares fairly to others in the position and is within market based on your experience.

I have three years of experience in agency recruiting and HR. I’m currently making 47k as an HR Coordinator. I’m starting to feel bitter that I took a pay cut to transition to HR from agency recruiting so I put myself open to recruiters on LinkedIn and got a Sr Recruiter contract offer with a company that I’m familiar with for $38/hour. I don’t love the company’s culture so I’m going to keep looking but would it be worth leveraging the offer with my current org? I’ve only been there for 7 months
