How to negotiate a higher salary? The job posting says $110k to $150k total comp and they offered me $130k but with cost of living + moving cities I would take a salary hit moving to NYC.

There are two main ways to do this. The easiest way is to lie and say you may 140 so you want $150 since you are taking a risk by switching companies to work for them so you need them to take a chance on you as well.

The other option is usually to just say what you need to go for example $145 then tell them you will walk if not. It is easier to do this if you are happy with where you are already. I do this. I just say I make X and I need a 20% hike at minimum to make this worth it or I will walk. And then also a signing bonus


There’s a quote that says “whoever is willing to walk away has all the power”

I’d use that exact point + something along the lines of “per market research and my experience I’d bring to the team I’m worth X” not verbatim but something like that… worked for me

Fair - just saying what worked for me.

Yeah but your earnings potential is way higher there

People don’t stay in low income areas to make money. They go to high income areas to make money

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?
