i recently was able to land a new role internally that was a lateral move. i didn't try to negotiate given i am fairly happy with my current comp, we had just received our raises and bonuses, and honestly it was the 4th role internally that i had interviewed for and i didn't want to jeopardize the outcome by appearing too "greedy." does anyone here ALWAYS negotiate everything? i feel like sometimes it can backfire in certain situations. thoughts?

Negotiate if you feel you deserve more. Don’t just negotiate because some silly goose said “always negotiate.”

1) You have to justify your request with evidence of merit.
2) Verify if their offer is in alignment with market. If it is…maybe ask for other stuff like PTO/WFH etc,

Most companies I’ve worked for have a promotion policy where it follows a specific guideline. For example, lateral is x amount (or none) and promotion is x% or they get you to minimum.

I personally have never negotiated an internal transfer

yeah, i mean if this were a promo i'd def expect an increase but lateral when i am happy with my comp, i was ok not even trying.

I can remember being told to always negotiate anything that can be negotiated. And that's good as a general rule. But like all rules, there can be exceptions, and your case sounds like a good example of that. There's something to be said for knowing when not to rock the boat.

yeah, that's how i felt. i'm also moving into a role that i have no past experience in, but with greater career growth potential. i'm just happy they're taking me tbh.

I agree with you. I think you made the right move, especially if you are content with your current comp. Nothing wrong with asking for an increase at your next review.

I’ve become negative about my life and can only think how I’ve been wronged, how I’m stuck, and frustrations w/ various circumstances in my life.

I can’t find where to break the toxic cycle of negative in my life or how to make those circumstances better. I feel my life has backed me into a corner. I’m aware I’m playing victim and not taking charge of my life. Advice on breaking free?

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

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…
