Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?

It's great that it worked out so well, but I suspect that experience is an outlier. A lot of organizations won't entertain a conversation about what other outfits are paying, and bringing that material into the negotiations can be perilous. You may find yourself being told to go to one of the places paying more.
Try reading comprehension next time, it helps. Nowhere did it say what other places were paying
I always say this. I didn't even know you could negotiate when I first started working and I know I left so much money on the table. It is so important to negotiate and ask for more.
Writer1... That is possibly the most close minded and dumbest thing I've ever heard with salary negotiations. No one's rescinding an offer just because you asked. They may say no or that they don't negotiate but never retract. Once an offer letter goes out it goes out with a legally binding contract with their endorsement. Its now in the employees hands to accept or reject. Asking isn't rejecting and unless they find something in your background to trigger an annulment clause they are bound to the minimum salary in that contract. I have negotiated from the most menial roles up to being at the top of companies and never once had an offer retracted.
This is happening so often now. Companies know they can lowball and get away with it because everyone else is underpaying too, or straight up not hiring.
This is just it. I countered 50k above their offer and justified it and got it. On this economy. It's not a bad reelection at all if you justify it. They all expect you to negotiate which is why they come in low so they have room to go up and not hit the top of their range
You gambled and got lucky. For every story like yours, there are ten that end with the offer being rescinded and given to another candidate.
This is an employer’s market, and they have the power, not us.
You should always negotiate, they will usually increase. if they don’t they don’t usually rescind they just stand at their offer. I hire poeple constantly and you should always negotiate all companies offer less than they can..
Absolutely - sometimes you don't even need data; you wait until an offer is presented and say "Thank you, is this negotiable?" and you can often get more than the first offer.
But kudos for using market data, years of experience and any other real metrics to get a better offer. I'm doing that internally for raise at my currently employer - but you'll always get a better raise jumping to a new company - ALWAYS negotiate!
A hiring manager hires and creates salary bands according to whats in the best interest of the employer. Their whole job is to pull back as much as humanly possible from the negotiations.. An extra $5k might not seem like a lot at first glance but multiply that times 1000 employees times potentially 20 years and add the standard 1-10% salary increase every year and suddenly the projected payroll changes dramatically. Negotiations are a game of war and one person is a professional and often holds most of the cards. Its absolutely your responsibility to show up with the backing and to card count in this game or you lost from the beginning.
How did you start the negotiation process? I just took ka course on it. I was separated from fed service after 22yrs making a Very nice salary. Ive accepted that outside will not come close and its ok. My peace more valuable and just now want to supplement my forced retirement so I can live
Had you not made your expected salary and current salary known during the process at any point?
