HCL Technologies offer being delayed and recruiter keeps saying that there's a problem with their "Offer release portal system." I have already stated my issues with relocating until after I have the offer signed and ready. The project is supposed to start on the 19th and I'm supposed to join before, or on that date. It's already coming up soon and I don't have the official offer so that I can confidently start the relocation process. Has anyone else recently dealt with this?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Just because you can give good advice doesn't mean you yourself are good under pressure. I'm great under pressure, but I am extensively and specifically prepared, with notes to fall back on if I lose my way.
You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. It’s surprisingly common for people to struggle with advocating for themselves, even when they’re great at coaching others. When it’s personal, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with self-doubt or fear of rejection. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite—it just makes you human. You probably know this already, but maybe try practicing the conversation or writing down your key points to help you stay focused.
Please don't do this to yourself. You obviously are dedicated to your job and you are worthy of a great salary just like everyone else. Believe in yourself!
Set your self up months ahead of time, write notes, stick to the script.
Don't wait another year. In your next sync with your manager send an agenda that talks about advancement. Ask them what advancement looks like for your position. Tell them your goal is to grow your pay and ask your manager what they can do to help with this goal.
I freeze up during salary negotiations as well, I don't know why. I have no trouble talking to clients and getting to spend money but when it comes to getting my own money, I lock up
You are certainly NOT the only one. It's not just your situation, but can apply to many. Like for me, I can't take a test/exam to save my life! No matter how hard I study....I also can give advice to others about things I should yet don't implement into my own personal life. I have to write notes/letters to get my point across. One on one doesn't always work for me if it's important whether work related or personal.
Sometimes I have to think of myself as another person to be able to talk myself up. It's often hard for me to advocate for myself but I can easily do it for others. Having a specific script prepared with notes of why I deserve better compensation is always a must for me.
It's definitely a hard conversation but it shouldn't be just know what you are asking for and let your work talk for you. If you are an asset they will give you more money . One thing for sure a closed mouth won't get feed.
I mentor my employees on salary negotiations all the time. The truth of the matter is, I got offers that were better than I expected, three times, and I accepted them. And considering I was being underpaid, even in my most recent position, I did myself a great injustice by not negotiating for better wages.
I chalk it up to a lesson learned & I now realize that I need to walk it like I talk it.
Greetings everyone, 👨💼👩💼🧑💼
Ill start by saying that this problem in quite common
#I_Determine_My_value :
"Discover A Valuable Sense Of Your Worthiness". Because your Worth It, Achieve confidence in your self.
first by assessing your potential how that relates to your position and it's rewards. If you believe that reward is lacking respect yourself enough to remember your worth. Confidence in yourself makes it possible for others to consider your potential.
Only YOU know how much your truly worth, Don't allow yourself to be discounted due to, uncertainty of that fact.
Bring this mindset with you when your ready to get the raise that you know you deserve.
Good luck, hope this advise helps.
I’m guessing you don’t work in media, where we will beat the snot out of a media company on deals worth millions and the cower in fear at asking for a 7% raise. One of the fun ironies of a career in media.
As a coach I can share a few things with you:
1. Discharge the negative feelings about yourself which isn’t helping. It’s making you more “sheepish”. You are not a minority…most people have trouble with this.
2. Practice and get the words right. It feels weird to ask for more money. But if you approach it as “I feel I’ve added value and if you think so too, wondering if maybe there’s a better alignment between how we feel and how that value is being recognized” or one that I like and have used “I was thinking based on performance I should be at X, which is really where I think I should be. Can that be considered and revisited? Or if not is there a roadmap to get me there? Perhaps a 6 month roadmap grounded in my evaluations?”
3. Obscure reference from the movie “Singles”…be the “Super You”. Or a different one, Beyoncé has her alter ego (Sasha Fierce) that allows her as a pretty quiet and shy person to be an absolute boss in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Create a “super you”. Send that person into the conversation. You’ll be stronger and more assertive. And if they say no, it’s not you…you didn’t experience rejection, it was the character you’re playing, Super You who got rejected. And you can just fire Super You and develop a new one.
Feel free to DM me if you want to chat more about it.
Yes this is the unfortunate truth. Happens to me too 😞
