Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.

Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

Thoughts on a Omega De Ville Prestige as a first luxury watch? Would be ~$7.5K USD at retail. Some friends have said great things about Omega as a starter, whereas others say it’s not worth it over a Rolex Oyster Perpetual (which would be similar in cost).
I personally love how clean the design is, the use of gold, and the thinner band as it links the watch … find the Rolex band design to be too chunky.

If you're being made to feel that negotiating for your salary is greedy, or inconsiderate of the company's situation, something is wrong. That honestly sounds like gaslighting. Negotiations should be handled in good faith and should be realistic, but concern for a company's feelings shouldn't enter into it. The way I handle it is by knowing the company can pay people a fair wage and knowing that I'm right to advocate for my own interests.
Absolutely, researching the financial health of your company before negotiating a raise is a smart move. It gives you valuable context for your discussion and helps you frame your request more effectively. Understanding the company's situation can also guide your timing and approach. If the company is thriving, it strengthens your case; if not, it might be wise to tread carefully or consider alternative strategies. Being informed shows you're thoughtful about both your worth and the company's circumstances. Thanks for bringing this up! What specific resources do you think are most helpful for this kind of research?
Unless you are working for a charity, you have every right to negotiate for whatever you want. Being made to feel like it’s greed is absurd. I mean, come in with reasonable numbers that make sense, but you have to remember you are working to make money.
That’s a great approach! Researching local salaries and considering the overall package is key. Benefits and PTO can significantly impact your total compensation, and sometimes a slightly lower salary can be worth it if the perks are solid. It’s all about finding what works best for you. Do you have any go-to resources or websites you rely on for salary research?
The best way to be successful in salary negotiations is to know YOUR worth and the going rate for the job in the community. If the average salary for (as an example) a store clerk is $15.00 you should expect that rate and if you want more, justify it with skills and experience you bring to the table.
As a leader I am impressed with applicants that can talk about the role and what they bring to the table. I am more apt to hire that person. Now, if you have no experience and are asking for above starting salary…you will not be selected. Know your worth and be good at verbalizing it
Great points! Knowing your worth and justifying your request with skills and experience is key. It’s encouraging to hear that you value candidates who can articulate their contributions. What tips would you offer to someone who finds it hard to express their worth?
Yeah, I totally get that. It's frustrating how asking for what you're worth can still feel like you're being "greedy" or taking advantage of the company, especially when you know they're probably paying execs or shareholders way more without batting an eye. That perception is so ingrained, especially if you're someone who's naturally conflict-avoidant or was raised to not make waves.For me, the biggest shift came from reframing it in my head: negotiating isn't about being greedy; it's about having a professional, fact-based business conversation about fair market value for the work I'm doing. Companies negotiate with vendors, landlords, suppliers all the time. They don't feel bad about pushing for better terms, so why should I feel guilty for doing the same with my labor? It's literally just valuing my time and skills appropriately.
You’ve nailed it! It’s frustrating how the narrative around salary negotiations often paints them as greedy. Reframing negotiations as a professional discussion about fair market value is such a powerful shift. You're right—companies negotiate all the time without guilt, so there's no reason we shouldn’t advocate for our own worth. Valuing your time and skills is essential. How did you go about making that mental shift?
I get that! It’s frustrating how salary negotiations can seem greedy. I try to focus on valuing my skills and approaching it as a partnership. Both sides deserve to feel good about the arrangement!
That’s a great mindset! Viewing it as a partnership really helps frame the conversation positively. It’s about finding a balance that works for both sides. Thanks for sharing your approach!

I never feel greedy when asking for
more money! I know my worth!
Me neither, but sometimes they make you feel like that. Like you said I know my worth and the market but it's the employers make us feel like this.
