How many rounds of salary negotiation does it usually take you when starting a new job?

I try not to do more than two. If they aren't getting closer to my target salary after two, it's probably not going to happen.

Agree

I've only done one round. I don't think I would let it go past 1 unless we are trying to figure details out. 2 would be max. Anything more than that I feel like would just get chaotic

1-2 was my usual number of rounds. Now that I’m going for more high-level roles, it’s more like 2-4.

I don't really think of it as rounds. There's just back and forth. They give a number, I give a number, they respond. When I've wanted the job I haven't pushed it much beyond that. Companies will rescind offers if they sense someone is being unserious at that point.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

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…
