I tried delaying sharing my salary expectations until after the interviews, and it actually helped because they saw my value first. When the offer came, I countered with a number 10% higher and they agreed without pushback. Now I’m wondering why I ever used to settle.

Everything depends on the company you apply for and the values you have to bring to the table nothing else, interviewers have already studied your values and skills etc. Not every company works the same.
Good Luck!

What has been your experience?

I’ve had this experience myself in asking for 10,000 more dollars and the VP didn’t blink. But of course I was not chosen.

Maybe, maybe not. I will never know and most times candidates don’t know.

THIS!! After my very first job, I realized a lot of other people simply asked "is this negotiable?" and were able to get ahead.

You can ask up front - but you run the risk of being classified as only in it for the money. If you're highly experienced and the role is critical - this may give you some negotiating power.

I follow the method you used, have them settle on you as the person for the job - then politely ask to send the offer for review, come back and negotiate at that point. They often don't blink, and if they do - it's not a great sign.

ALWAYS negotiate, and always ask for a raise - the worst someone can say is no.

Yea it’s a hard balance but they must know we all work for…. Money

I like that a lot

Interesting approach, I like that!

Good. We should all stop settling. Look up salary information on Ai-back sites. With all the information candidates have available to them, there is no reason not to negotiate

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
