Heard our hiring manager say a candidate went super bold with him and said, "If you don't pay me what I want, I'll just go to your competitor.". This candidate got hired, and honestly, I'm about to steal this strategy because it works?? Do you think it's smart to talk like that?

It can be a smart move if you know your value and the company wants you. It’s risky but sometimes pays off if done confidently and respectfully.

It really depends on the delivery, but if that is how they approached the conversation, my response would have been to wish them luck. There is no way I would have hired that person.

It doesn’t matter how talented that person is if they are going to be a PITA to manage.

Many ppl have done that in the schools who are not teachers. Mostly seen by school psychologists bc we have a shortage of school psychologists in this area.

I'd never say that but if I knew I was the best and had options I'd say that my pay expectations aren't negotiable and x competitor pays above market.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
