I’ve been offered a role worth £60k in London. My previous role paid me almost £90k. I don’t have many options but the proposed offer is just not something I can survive on with the current state of things. A room is 1k and I’m expected to be in the office. How can I negotiate?

I think we need a bit more info. Whats the reason for the move, whats your industry and YoE and how badly do you need the job? (E.g. depedency on visa, family etc)

Do you also have other interview leads

Hi OP sorry to hear!
Perhaps you can take this role and continue to look if you don’t have savings or other options? it’s definitely not great!
I’m in the same situation all the roles are requiring a 25-40k pay cut but I see a bit of changes with the market getting busier so don’t lose hope!

That’s what I’m thinking. It’s just annoying when companies do this because they can afford to pay what I’m worth.

I’m not sure why you’d risk me leaving for a better paid role and having to waste money recruiting.

Sorry M, I’ve survived on 30k last to last year and now on 42k in current state of things with a daily commute.

In terms of how you can negotiate, ask them to meet you in the middle. Ask about what challenges their teams are facing or what gaps they have that they’re trying to fill and how you can do that in addition to the normal delivery work and only other thing you need is an increased number

When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
