Have you ever been in a position where a company has tried to actively discourage you from negotiating on your wages or will they at least be receptive to the attempt for the most part?

Yes, somewhat overtly. I've been told by recruiters that there's no wiggle room and by hiring managers that this is their final offer. When it was the recruiter saying it, it was in one ear and out the other because that was early on in the process. When I've heard it from the HM, I've taken it at face value.

Yeah that’s so irritating, so you believe that once the HM says it it’s a done deal?

I've had managers drop pretty strong hints that there was no money available. I've never had someone tell me I couldn't negotiate, and at times I just ignored the hints and went ahead. I mean, negotiating is just part of having a job, so no one should freak out if you try to do it. Turns out that sometimes when they say there's no money to be found, there's really some money to be found.

Yeah I mean if they want you bad enough I think they can often find more money somewhere.

Yes they try to make me feel like I should be happy with what I have bc it’s top of what they offer (3.5% raise is max).

Yeah that’s the same in my place, it’s such a small raise.

Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree. I’m planning to leave my job at the end of June, should I warn my boss now so she can start hiring? I don’t want her to be blindsided by my decision and hiring is very slow at the moment. Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?
