How many times do you go back & forth with HR to negotiate a salary after an offer? Ex: offered 140 for a position, you ask for 160, they meet in the middle at 150, can you ask for more?

As many times as you’d like. When I did it, I did twice - first time I got desired base increase and second time I got signing bonus doubled. I was already satisfied with their initial offer though so I stopped there as I was more than content with this, but had the impression I could have gone further if I wanted. But I also really wanted to leave my prior employer ASAP.

Mind sharing the company name?

There is a risk, that they pull it back afterwards. However, if it‘s too low for you to accept, there is nothing you can lose so you can definitely try.

If they raised it already then go for bonus.

Yes you should and can! Caveat: do your research for your role, city, and experience. Also, I wouldn’t push if that’s your only offer and you must have it. But if you have multiple offers then of course you can use that as leverage and you can push!

once you are in, you are in. only risk is getting blue balled.

Hi guys,

Are there any chances they might reject me as the interview is for lead role while my YOE fall in senior analyst / analyst role.

How do you know when it’s best to stay in your position?

I’m tired of pivoting. I feel like my job has growth potential and I like my company. Also it seems like my company places a lot of emphasis on experience and I can only get that with time.

On the other hand I work on a small team and there is definitely room for improvement. I think the issue is the size of the team? Like, if there were 2-3 more people it wouldn’t be too bad.

I’m conflicted. Thoughts?

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
