I just got a job offer. The salary that they’re offering is literally the starting base (lower end 6 figures, they mentioned the starting base salary in the job posting). Any tips on negotiating for a higher salary? Just an fyi, I have never negotiated after an offer before. I think it’s the fear of them retracting the offer, and/or the fear of giving the hiring manager a bad impression. Hiring manager keeps pointing to benefits that the company provide. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

They shouldn’t rescind an offer if you try to negotiate with them.

I have always led with something like “is there room to to negotiate a salary of ABC due to my experience with X, Y, and Z.” Let them know you’re interested and thankful for said opportunity, but you’d like to see A due to B.

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years.

I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
