Has anyone actually been successful in recent salary negotiations? I feel like with the job market how it is everyone is just settling for what they can get.

Marginally. I asked for 10% more than the offer, settled for their 6% counter. Not a big win, but I was ready to accept the initial offer so I'm happy.

That’s a win either way! Good to get even the small ones.

Yes. Bumped an offer from 180 to 200, still debating it.

That’s pretty good, good luck with the offer!

I personally prefer not to negotiate salary during a first interview. When asked, I always redirect the question and ask what the company offers for the specific role.
The reason is simple: without fully understanding the responsibilities, workload, expectations, and the company’s culture, it’s impossible to give a realistic number.
Once both sides have a clear picture of the role, the conversation about salary becomes much more accurate and fair.

Yeah that’s fair, first interview always seemed very early for me.

Not here unfortunately

Sad to hear it!

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

I have been in my current job for 1 year now as a booking coordinator for a logistics company. When I started I had no idea of what my workload would be, now I noticed that my coworkers took the opportunity to pass most of their job to me.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
