How long should you expect to hear back from a salary negotiation? I feel like it’s a yes or no answer, not sure why it’s taking over a week.

If it’s taking over a week, they are likely weighing another candidate. It usually takes one business day for HR to review, approve, and adjust the offer letter.

Some firms have cost controls in place that would require approvals at the highest levels if its beyond a certain threshold. I work for a very large privately held company and I know that's how it works here.

Pretty quickly, usually within a few days or week max. Getting approval shouldn't take that long unless they're disorganized or someone is OOO.

There can be legitimate, and honestly boring, reasons why a salary approval can take a while. It's not uncommon that several people may have to approve and sign off. If you're applying for a job, that may be a bad sign, but it's not necessarily the case.

I have experience a week for most negotiations I've done. especially when there are hoops the recruiter needs to jump though with getting exec approval, it can take some time

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
