Anyone recently received a tax manager offer from EY ? I’m going through final interviews and want to see what your experience was like (negotiation process, initial offer higher/lower than expected?, did you give them a salary expectation range? How long did it take from final interview to offer etc) TIA!PwC EY KPMG Deloitte

Ask them say the number first. Then use that as a base to negotiate. That way, you’re not going way too high or way too low.
@ Havas 1: Re your question, no, you’re not in a “take it or leave it” scenario. You would still negotiate from there. If there’s really a risk of the company putting you in a corner like that though, then it’s likely they’re not that interested in you, or that they’re just not great employers.
Tell them you’re open to negotiating what’s fair and provide back up proof points for the figure you want to end up with. I have found it can help to say “there are many factors beyond salary that make me interested in this role, but if you’re asking me for what I think is fair based on the position, the experience I bring to it, and industry standards, it is “x”.
Seems like you might be the first person in this job, and so they may genuinely not have a comparison. Would you be happy getting 20% above your current? In that case throw out 30% above your current. If they meet it, you will always wonder if you undersold. But you will be happy with that, right?

I think SO is worried they might out-price themselves and miss the opportunity altogether. This can happen so it’s a matter of somehow expressing that they would like to keep the negotiation open.
When people try to nail me to a number I always say “I’ve been told the range for this job is x to x.”

They have a lot of real salary data on there by company and city. Not sure if many Aussie companies are represented but worth a try.
Ask for the range and if the high end is too low be prepared to counter.
You also want to be aware of what you're objectively worth, approximately, and stay around than. Great way to get off on the wrong foot is to oversell and now they're looking at you like "we're paying that much for this?"
