Landed a good offer from a company but I think I can do better. Asked for a signing bonus but they refused. Got a similar offer from a company I am not as excited about and I am using it as a leverage but still refused. What else I can do?

Thinking about going to my current manager and ask him to match the offer and if so come back with that to the current recruiter.

Any more ideas?

Honestly, if I was the one hiring and you kept coming to me for more money even after I said no the first time.. I would be looking to offer the position to other candidates.

We had an estimator put in her two week notice after she accepted a new job. Our director asked her for two days and came back with a better offer than the new company. She had to tell the new company she wasn’t going to work for them but it showed our company she was serious. If you’re a good employee the ball is in your court. All new hires are looking for much higher compensation so the burden would be on the employer in this job market.

They already said no twice…..What are you thinking you’re going to do here? No means no. If they were willing to budge, they ready would have. To have leverage, you first need to be in a position of strength, and since they already said no TWICE, you have no strength to negotiate anymore. The answer is no. I’m surprised they’re still talking to you. Either take it, or respectfully decline.

I’m an accounting advisory M2 in Los Angeles and hoping to find a position around $150k in industry. However a recruiter said that’s too high and I should be looking more around $130-140k, I can’t tell though if she’s being honest or just hoping I’ll take a smaller salary so that she can get an easier commission. Thoughts?
