I've been unemployed for just shy of 6 months, I have only had two interviews in that time, and Ive seen several others share similar experiences, some being on the job hunt even longer. Our house goes on the market on Friday, and I would much rather have an offer that's 10% low to accept rather than having to uproot my family to be able to put food on the table.
Given the strong language already used, I personally would accept the offer, though if I was in a position to be picky and didn't need the job I'd ask for $110k and see if they'd come up to $100k. FWIW employers know that they have the upper hand, and you are likely not the only strong candidate they've talked to.
Hey, I am genuinely sorry for you. I have been unemployed for 9 months. The job market is beyond bad. I know I got quite lucky, after interviewing whole process for 5 positions and got rejected after the final stage, along with thousand rejections upon applying.
I hope you'll find your best match of a job and your house will be saved too!
Tbh I’d take it if it’s something you’re looking for and can always keep looking if needed
If they’re giving you an offer letter it means they want you. I’d ask for 110 or 120 and take the counter offer. - worst they can say is no, and decide then if you want to work for a company that lowballs like that and doesn’t respect your worth.
I applied for a job ranging from 90k-130k. With my experience i asked for $140k. They said they were preapproved up to $130k. I stood my ground. Held my team interviews, got the preemptive verbal offer for $130k. I pushed back, 3 days later got the full offer of $140k
Yes, i survived 4 layoffs in the span of 2022-2026. Also i am an nyc hybrid employee so payband is slightly higher than Arkansas like the OP
Negotiating salary works 6 out of 10 times, has no effect 3 out of 10 times and backfires 1 out of 10 times. Can you afford to risk the 1 out of 10 bad outcomes is the question
I’d maybe politely ask at least once for more with justification about your skills/experience and see what they say. If not more money, then you can ask for other things - more bonus or whatever else is important to you.
Well it’s good that you tried! And congrats on the offer!
Is this for the executive technical support ?
No, it is Data Analyst position
Id definitely shoot for at least mid-range and give solid reasoning as to why you should be at that amount. You got an offer so they want to hire you. Most hiring managers will have some wiggle room on salary. Worst they say is 'no'. I'd be willing to bet they would come up closer to the 100k mark with good reasoning on your end.
They did not accept any negotiation, so I just accepted it. They told me that there is other candidates they would offer more because they had more experience if I do not accept the offer.
Walmart is a great company , I would have accepted the offer and then try to make a hike within next 6 months
I’ve worked at Walmart Headquarters. You can ask for 100k to start. But they do (at least while I was there) offer bonuses, pension, 401k, stocks, and raises across every department; which a lot of companies forego these days. I would say accept what they offer to just get your foot in the door. And as you said, Bentonville is affordable, so even at 90k you be able to afford a house there.
Then congratulations. As one commenter said if the job market wasn’t so horrible you could probably had room to negotiate but at least you got the job. It’s been a year since I’ve been out of work and been lowering my salary expectations to at least get an interview. Hopefully they still offer decent raises, bonuses, pension. All the best!!
My advice:
The strength of your position in a negotiation is based off of how much leverage you have.
Do you have other offers?
How much do they need you vs you need them?
Are you prepared to walk away from the table?
The best position to be in is where they are trying to convince you to work for them. Not the other way around.
The best way to ensure you are in that position is by taking away their leverage and fortifying your own.
One way of doing that is by applying to as many places as you can and gathering as many offers as you can.
Also, if a place asks you what salary you are expecting in the beginning.
Always shoot above what they are offering. Set the standard high and play the game from there.
Is walmart sponsoring?
Accept the 90K, ask for a 90 day evaluation for the 100K
What are the benefits that come with the base?
Will this be a stepping stone for your career? Can you afford your lifestyle on $90K? If yes for both, take it. This job market doesn't have insanely high salaries anymore.
That doesn't sound bad at all. If you get upper end, you aren't getting promoted, and you get no raise, and you will be miserable. Here, you get more than the starting rate; it's a new role for you with a global company, so you can be looking elsewhere within the company while earning decent money. Walmart isnt known for throwing money at people so in this market, CONGRATS! :)
