Have you been successful in negotiating the salary increase with the current employer using an external job offer?

Yep. I started looking for jobs a couple of months before I was expected to have an annual increase. When they tried to lowball me and tell me they would give me a 1.5% increase, I let them know I had another job offer. They increased my raise to 5%. It wasn't a huge increase, but I liked the job, and I was able to successfully leverage another offer for a bit more money. Looking back I probably could've gotten more. But I already felt kind of nervous putting my job on the line in order to make more money.

Honestly I dont' think this is a great way to go about it. I think that a lot of employers reject feeling backed into a corner, and in my experience, this kind of thing can backfire a lot. I think if you present an external offer, you should only do so with the intent that you are actually leaving.

Generally this can backfire unless you have a very rare skill (hard to show in this market). You need to be prepared to walk if you don’t get your match because now you’re a flight risk.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
