No idea what Bain1 is talking about…you generally get a few days to a week to make a decision, but this will vary and is stated in your offer letter. If you want a higher salary than offered, I would recommend a phone call with the recruiter where you lay out what you want and why you deserve it. Be prepared for the company to not match your offer, so typically come in a bit higher on your ask, but obviously make sure it is a reasonable ask.

Usually within one week or two, but consider the fact that you might not be the only person with an offer. Hedge your bets accordingly.

Consider offers as a portfolio. A base salary is only one aspect of it. After that there’s position, career trajectory, potential for raise, bonus, benefits, PTO, education, etc. Anything can be considered in negotiation if base salary cannot be contested. Come prepared with facts and points for your case.

One week. No negotiation as salaries are on a very specific scale. You want more? Then argue for a more senior title. Otherwise, work your butt off to get promoted faster.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
