Is there anyway to recover after you’ve given a salary number that you think might actually be too small?

You can always go back and give a counteroffer. Say you did some more market research and you've reevaluated your perspective on the salary. Or you think that a higher number would fit the scope of the job.

Okay that’s a good idea. I always assumed it would be dismissed off hand.

Depends on when it's given. Early on in the process, probably. People have short memories, and you can always say that based on what you learned during subsequent interviews, you believe you're justified asking for more. If you gave that number during one of the last or final rounds, probably not since it's going to be fresh in their minds.

Okay cool I’ll keep this in mind thank you!

Depends on what cards you’re holding. Are you desperate for the position and would be devastated if you lost it or do you have several interested employers and/or would be fine staying at your current job until you get what you want?

You’ve at least showed one of your cards on a lower amount that you’d be interested in.

I guess sometimes I forget they might want to hire me as much as I want to be hired, good leverage to have!

It’s really hard to. Depends on where you are in the process and how you initially framed it. But as a general rule I try to give a range that is what I actually would accept in the initial convo

Yeah I think a range is the most appropriate, I think sometimes there’s a worry of shooting too low because you really want the job.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

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?

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?
