In my professional opinion, rate negotiations and discussions should be done with a resource or operations manager to avoid situations like this. However, in the event that no such roles are available in the agency, it is not unusual that the hiring managers/supervisors handle these discussions directly. I would leave the potential partner off the thread and respond directly to your supervisor and PM (the pm needs this for their budget planning).

smart

Respond by suggesting a phone call with HM to discuss. Don't do email for negotiating pay or negotiating anything. The psychology of email is not appropriate for this type of conversation this early in a relationship with those people.

...she included my potential partner on this email in addition to my supervisor. I’m not comfortable sharing this info - it’s not like I know what the other CD is making? How should I address this? Just leave the other CD off my reply? I know I have a lot more experience and will be asking for what I am worth.

Yeah that’s weird. Was the potential partner already on the thread, and she just went with a ‘reply all’? I would leave the other CD off your reply.

Yep, i’d do that. It’s honestly even weird to me that you’re discussing that with the PM, and not just the hiring manager (since there is no HR rep.) I understand PM needs that info for budgeting, but that should be discussed internally between them, while you talk/negotiate with the HM. Anyways, i guess they might be wearing many hats being a small place.
