Has anyone here successfully negotiated a salary for a job offer? (Banking/Finance)? Do you have any advice on how to negotiate? For a mid career/senior level position, not entry level. Also, you’re an extremely good candidate. Not the typical I have another offer from another firm.

Know what you're worth. I usually do some research to determine what the market rate is. I also would never leave a job for less than a 20% increase above what I'm currently making, so that helps as well. Then, just be confident and tell them what you're asking. Believe me - they're used to this. It's literally their daily job to negotiate with candidates.

Hi! You can actually use your YOE, skills, experience, and achievements. But based on experience, the YOE and experience have more weight during negotiations.

I am an IT architect with 10 years of experience specifically in Salesforce products. I am thinking of moving from a strategy consulting role to an architecture role in Salesforce (company) itself. I have experience building tech strategies and also technical project delivery.

Wondering if it makes sense to apply for an Enterprise Architect (pre-sales) or a Senior Technical Architect role??

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

I feel like I can’t redeem my career. I’ve been out of paying work since I graduated. My bar was delayed due to a medical problem and since then I’ve only been able to find volunteering.

My network is tapped, my mentors are confused why I can’t find anything, my law school’s career services actually gave up on me, I don’t have the money to move to a new place, I have no other support and I can’t even go back to retail because nobody’s hiring out here.

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
