I expecting to receive an offer letter this afternoon and to walkthrough it with the hiring managers. I will also have a phone call with HR later this week for any additional questions. I gave my expected salary range (pretty wide and aggressive) during the interview process but haven’t talked specifics. I assume negotiations happen with HR instead of the hiring manager? Anyone have any insight? Thank you so much. First time interviewing outside of college

Have a minimum number handy from your comp range. This number is what will be the absolute must have to make you consider leaving your current job for that job (build in a desired % jump off point from PA to industry).

Have a preferred number based on what you think the company will reasonably be willing to pay based on your experience and future responsibilities.

Float the preferred and mention that you’re flexible on that number. Be the first person to mention a number and they will go from there.

It can be a difficult discussion for the hiring manager to go back to their boss and/or finance to get more money than they already have authorized for their offer. You will be more successful if you arm them with information. I am worth $xx isn’t enough. The best thing to say is, I expect a promotion on xx months and I will get a xx% raise so I am trying to match that. Salary guides can be helpful, but most people think they are inflated.

I received a verbal offer from the team, but have yet to get an official offer letter. Should I have tried negotiating already or wait to receive offer letter in writing
