I just got an offer that’s decent, but I know I could probably push for more. My fear is that if I counter they might just move on to the next candidate. How do you negotiate without risking the offer altogether?

Thank them for the offer and say you are excited about getting started, mention culture fit, blah blah. And then ask if there is any flexibility with the offer that was presented and if the recruiter could check with the hiring manager. Don’t provide a number, just see if there is flexibility first.

You can ask them if there’s any room for negotiation. If they say yes, that means you can negotiate for more. Usually if the range is within market range, they would accept it or lower a little bit.

But seek it out. There are so many different ways, ideas opinions and facts. I'll give you a fact. When you ask a question what 3 things does your brain do? Automatically in order you 🤔 think...then decided, then respond w the answer after you criticality thought about the question. Any question. I say that ti say this. You ask a lot of questions so your smart. No way you have never negotiated ? Either way it's a skill like the question right? You see what's happening? So your smart? You can read ? Or listen to podcast? But wont......Why?

Unfortunately, there's really no way to eliminate the risk. If you think you're a strong candidate, they aren't likely to write you off but you shouldn't negotiate if you aren't prepared for the possibility.

Seriously is this the right group? Sales and closing go hand in hand. Know yout worth, the laws, and who cares what the community makes. They get kickbacks for ppl that come and go. If your lazy work hourly. If you know your worth everything is negotiable. As far as making a deal or agreement just get it notarized and reviewed by a lawyer to make sure the language stands. Salary is self employed pretty much so know that..what you can write off, etc

Only you will advocate for you

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
