How do you counter offer salary on the job offer?
What are some options to start the conversation?
I’m not sure what is the right way to say it without sounding greedy…

I don’t think it hurts to ask for what you think is fair. It’s hard trying to find out what’s fair though. I had an interview in which I asked the recruiter what’s the salary budget for the role. That allowed me to gage where I felt was accurate with what I bring to the firm. I hope that helps.

I like this option, if you're working through a recruiter. A lot of us aren't, so it makes the conversation a little harder to start. But I try to start off the conversation in a way that puts my reasons for negotiating up front like, "I've been underpaid in the past, so I want to have an honest conversation about salary expectations" or "I have a lot of experience in this field, so I want to make sure we come to salary number that works for your company but also acknowledges my expertise."

If you've already recieved the offer, I would reach out and let them know that you'd like to discuss salary/comp. Just throw it out there once they've mentioned their range "I am anticipating/looking to land on X side of the range, or on X number TC." You got this!

This is how I always approach it as well. Just be honest and open with them. It gets easier the more you do it.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

HR pros - I have a question for you. I got disappointing news that I didn’t get either of the roles I applied for.

I’d be ok with that if they hadn’t flown my ass out there to meet with everyone. They knew my salary and position expectations before inviting me to the interview. Should I buy it?
