Got offered a job with 55k salary. Do agencies usually expect a counter? Is 65k too high of a counter?

always counter. ask for $65 and you might get $60.

practice it out loud a few times. it feels weird at first.

but always counter. the worst that can happen is they say that's their ceiling.

Not too high a counter, but hard to get them to budge without some leverage. U need another offer. Or some viable alternative u can speak to if their offer isn’t compelling enough.

like

I have always negotiated for more and never leveraged another offer. You are worth what you are worth whether someone else is in the race or not. I nave never had the offer not increase at least some, not always to what I asked for but somewhere in the middle which is really what I expected. Go get your money.

no one will ever thank u for taking less money

most places always have wiggle room, even if it's an additional 2500 they can offer. by asking 65 you can likely get 60.

asking for 10k more is very common and always expected

like

Ask for 68k-70k, that will get you a little closer to what you really want. they’re expecting you to play the game.

Always counter. 10k is a fine amount to ask for. Just know you might not get that much. But will almost certainly get more than 55k. Go for it

GO FOR IT!!
