How many times do you negotiate with the recruiter/HM before officially accepting the offer? It’ll be my first time negotiating - curious how y’all approach this

I've only ever had up to two negotiations. It's best to prepare on the numbers you are absolutely good with, and what you won't accept

Thank you both! $85k is actually what two companies are quoting (haven’t received offer letter yet), but company A (my preferred company) did tell me the range was $79-110k, so I’m trying to shoot a little higher, or at least range in the middle of the band

I went 2-3 rounds with them, because they were being stubborn about initial salary offered but ended up baking in a review 3-6 months after starting to ensure the salary gets topped up etc

Wow that’s a long time! I’m glad it went well for you!!

I think I spent 2-3 rounds as well. Back and forth on salary, stocks, benefits.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Is it safe to buy new home now with high interest rates ,high home prices and recession in near future?
