Have you had the most luck doing salary negotiations verbally or via email? About to start one and not sure the best way to go about it

Think it’s kind of opinion what feels easier to do. I think verbally is best because I can see those in person cues you wouldn’t get through email. Also, way less back and forth. Nothing more stressful to me than having to wait for somebody to reply .

Very fair - I hadn’t considered the stress part

Verbally is best imo

I'm much more comfortable discussing via email. There's less pressure and I have time to collect my thoughts before responding. I can't think of the last time I negotiated salary verbally. It's probably been 10 years or more now.

Same here!

A lot of it depends on the rapport you have with your manager. If you're able to talk with them comfortably, an in-person meeting might be best. Doing it in person has an advantage as you can make the case for yourself and react in real time. It may be easier to say what you want via email, but it would also be easier for someone to say no the same way.

That’s a great point too..thank you!

I’ve had the most lucky verbally actually!

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
