I just wanted to offer a tip for anyone looking to negotiate salary. My old mentor suggested this book to me and it legitimately helped. It’s a book called “How to make 1000 dollars a minute"

The tip from the book that helped me the most was: don’t offer your number first and don’t negotiate salary until you’ve had your interviews. When they ask for your number, say “I need to understand the full scope of the role responsibilities and what I might also bring to the table in addition before I feel ready to discuss compensation."

like

Also “I’m sure we can come to a number we both feel good about once we iron out what the role will look like in more detail."

I’m 100% genuine. The book has been out for decades. As a woman, it really helped me have a framework for negotiation where I never had one before. Scouts honor!

This is what I was looking for! Straight to the point, thank you OP!

Another tip from the book: consider your entire benefit package not just salary. This includes vacation, 401k matches, insurance deductibles and premiums. For example, I didn’t ask about insurance for one of my jobs and the premium for myself and family was double monthly what I had been paying at a WPP agency for less robust insurance. A few hundred bucks a month makes a difference!

OP, that books sounds good. I read a different book (Ask for It, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever) and got the same tips. Ladies Get Paid is a a Slack where those who identify as women can get advice on how to negotiate. They also organize IRL meetings where they bring experts that coach women on $$$$ and career advancement.

Good stuff. I've been coaching people for many years how to negotiate - even when it is kind of against the good of the 'company'. Another good idea is to look at cultures where negotiation/haggling is commonplace in stores.

When you are given a couple bucks more than the salary you initially asked for, do you ever negotiate for more or is that just being greedy? Do you need a real reason? Seems like a weird thing to do. Especially if you picked a high salary to begin with

Hi all,

I just came to realise
Deutsche Bank has a fixed rule of max 30 to 35 % hike on fixed component and remaining 10 to 15% variable i.e. total 50% max hike you can ask for no matter how good, skilled you are.

Is it true?

Over the last 2 months he's come to me with 2 re-negotiations, both lower than the original. I've countered saying I'll accept a lower bonus structure if my base is raised. Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
