Has anyone had any luck with salary negotiations recently? It feels like things are starting to really slow down before the holidays and I’m not even seeing many job postings anymore

There.are two separate issues being discussed here. Yes, jobs are VERY hard to come by, and separately, negotiating is harder for thos that are getting an offer due to the market being heavily weighted towards the employer.

The holidays are historically slow, compounded by an unusually high number of people looking for work in certain industries.

I just signed an offer letter and l will be starting in January. To be honest l had been looking for about 7 months!!.

It was really hard negotiating but they eventually agreed to a 10K sign on bonus. Everything else PTO and base salary didn’t move.
All the best in your search

I heard a horror story of someone's offer getting revoked because of negotiating, so I am nervous about negotiating if I receive the offer I think I'm going to get next week. I'm hoping they offer me enough that I don't need to negotiate but that probably won't be the case.

It's always slow this time of year

I'm still waiting to negotiate my salary with a job I'm supposed to be getting here soon. And I'm not going to be negotiating very aggressively. I figure if I don't take what they are offering, somebody else happily would. The economy definitely impacts my confidence when it comes to salary negotiations.

I got an offer for a bit above my bottom number. I consider that lucky across the board. I didn’t even try to negotiate.

What are you hopping to negotiate? Most departments won’t give anything above 3%

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?

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

We're not sure what those incentives look like yet, but here are some post-announcement rumors from my co-workers:

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.
