My brother got a job offer at $28/hr with 6 years of general industry experience. New hires with no experience get $25. He’d still need to learn their systems, but he’s a fast learner.

Benefits offered:
• 7 PTO days, 9 sick days
• Free medical, but pays for vision/dental
• PTO increases to 3 weeks after 7 years

I think he should counter with $30/hr and ask for faster PTO accrual.. maybe 3 weeks after 5 years. They also said they’ll do a review after 60 days. Should he just wait? Thoughts?

In this day and age it’s better to move on to something else. Staying loyal and trying to fight for what you deserve more often than not ends up being a wasted effort.

Good for him, better than where negotiations were started! Personally I always keep a pulse on the market and available opportunities. I didn’t used to, but loyalty doesn’t really mean much today as it did 30+ years ago. Wow I feel old now, but I miss those times when you could do a good job, grow yourself to advancement and have your manager back you up. Doesn’t seem that way anymore, at least in the last 15 years or so for me 😫 I’m happy to be closer to retirement than in the infancy of my career.

Wow, low salaries

It’s our reality. If we all could make more, that would be ideal!!

He should negotiate now. Later is no guarantee and he’ll probably have less leverage unless he’s a superb worker

Thanks. He did. He asked for $33/hr but they countered with $30 plus 2 weeks of PTO. He’s happy

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
