A company increasing the compensation by $10k is not impossible or unheard of, but how likely they would in these specific circumstances is determined by several factors.
What is the base salary range already, over or under $100k? How “perfect” of a candidate are you? What is the position? What employment market are you in? How many other applicants have gotten as far as you did? Is the employer reasonable? Do they promise annual reviews and cost of living increases? How long has the position been open and/or how long have you been out of work? And can you justify or prove their range is below the current market average for your skills and location?
That’s obviously a lot to calculate and you’ll never know most of the answers anyway, so consider those questions and then ultimately you’ll have to take your best guess and roll the dice.
I’m sorry, but the honest truth is that in most cases, interviews all just come down to a vibe check.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Very true it can be about vibes, thanks for your comment. Hard for me to actually tell all these answers. As we know the market right now isn’t great
I don't know how strong your position is, but the last time I was told it was ok to counter, I did, and they ended up ignoring me and not responding to me and going with another candidate. Later that week the regional didnt even have the decency to call or email me back. She had the operations manager call me and told me that I should have been grateful and taken the first offer. Sad day and learned that lesson in this job climate.
Always counter, never take the 1st offer. For a company to say you should have taken the 1st offer stands out to me as baiting to low ball for cheap labor. They did you a favor.
Their saying it’s possible would put me on the fence. Are they just saying that so I go through the process, and then they offer the same low range? OR will they negotiate to that 1-5k? Tough call, and I could see it going either way in this market.
BS1 - sorry what visa?
It means that it's within a feasible range. It's not completely out of the ball park. But the range exists based on qualifications. Do your qualifications warrant the top range? In comparison to other applicants? The budget is already set for the position. Now, they have to determine which candidate meets their needs best and what the appropriate offer is. Have your line in the sand that you won't take below of. Then, if you are offered below, be ready to counteroffer with the reasoning to back it up.
That’s R1, this makes sense. I would say my skills do warrant it but let’s see what happens in the process
Get them to want you then you have leverage. Employers hate interviewing and are motivated to fill the req. If they won’t move on from a lowball, that’s a bellwether. A VP once quit because HR pulled this on me.
That’s true, so will go through the process then try to get the hiring team to go to bat for you
I’ve asked for $5k or $10k more during this current hiring climate and the recruiter said ok and for one I was never called back and for two I got a second interview but not a hire
Thanks for sharing your exp, Donna. I guess it really is an employers market and we have to take what we’re given if we want to move
If they say it's possible, it is. Maybe only likely if they're really impressed by you, but I'd take that to mean there's definitely flexibility in the budget.
Hmm ok. Let’s see. Thanks C1
I would think 1-5k more is reasonable, but 10k over is normally stretching it a little bit
The recruiter was pressing me a bit on the salary part and asked what’s the lowest I’d accept lol
Salary is important but first I need job .I will doing a good work then thinking's a all of human. All of people thinking about money but I respect first human knowledge.snd good work.
Yes true - doing good work is important
