A lot of this depends on the context and the particular details. But as a general rule, anything that can be negotiated should be. If you don't ask for more, you may be viewed as a pushover or a weak character. If you want to ask for more compensation, say something to the effect that you're excited about joining the organization, and the offer looks good, but your salary expectation was in the range of $xxx. And ask if there is any flexibility in the salary. That opens up the conversation in a generally polite and respectful fashion.
1.) You ask the salary range in the first 5 minutes. 2.) At some point they ask your salary requirements. If you’re still talking they are in the range. I usually start off 25k above their range. 3.) When they complain I ask can if I can review the benefits, bonus structure? 4). I either come down to the top of their range in this type of economy. In a better economy I hold out for a sign on bonus. The written offer is a formality. The other side loves to get a discount, never start with your final salary.
It depends. If you know the market and you know what salary range you had in mind— check to see if it meets it. For instance, I was offered a HR manager position, they offered $76k but in considering the salary average for the area and my requirements, I asked for $86k. We met in the middle at 84k. Present the facts not just your wish list. Meet in the middle.
As of right now I'm so desperate for a job I would take it in a heartbeat and then I would ask what the rate was and if I didn't like it I would continue to look for other jobs while I worked there
SAME!!! I would jump at the chance to get my foot in the door, and IF I didn't like that salary offered I would continue looking for other opportunities and leverage the job I just took as part of the next bargaining chance with another company.
Always ask for more. There always room for negotiation. They will only say no. Since they like you enough to offer you
Respectively I never sign unless I get what I'm worth 95% of the time I've always signed for my wage or don't sign at all ...only once I really had to show my skil set for my desired wage...Remember your work is your worth never sell yourself short .it never ends well. Honesty is the best policy always when discussing wages allowes for transparency.
I would probably wait a few days on taking it and explain what you feel you are worth on the salary.
I would take it right away
Usually if I've gotten to the point where I'm looking elsewhere for a new position, there's no amount of money that would get me to stay.
First I would like to ask about position then what is the basic salary
I look for job today
Depends on the content and what type of job it is
If I knew what the job was and I knew how to do it I'd take it
I would take it right away
Back it up with facts but find similarly titled roles paying a lot more and use the highest as your starting point. You can always negotiate down, but it's almost impossible to negotiate up.
If you receive an offer, most likely that means that you've already talked about comp. If the offer meets what you previously requested, then you just look like a greedy jerk if you re-negotiate.
... unless the offer includes legitimate surprises like:
* Lack of 401k matching
* Crappy medical insurance carrier or plans
* High coinsurance, like >25%, or family not included
* No HSA / FSA
It is best to get these benefit details in advance so that you can give them a suitable comp expectation in advance.
