Offered an Operations role at Walmart and asked if negotiation was possible. The hiring manager said yes and encouraged me to submit a proposal. After sending it, I was rejected the next morning with no explanation and no chance to accept the original offer. A supervisor later implied I shouldn’t have asked. Trying to understand what I could have done differently, was negotiating inappropriate here?

There is nothing wrong in asking about negotiating a salary. You are just being a good applicant. Hard to know as to the ‘why’ since I have no idea how the interview went…

It’s a company market just now, not an employee one, so I’d be more prepared to accept what they offered vs negotiating just now. We have little power just now given the economy, layoffs and Fed rates.

Companies don’t care about employees anymore. They’ll just take the cheapest people they think can do the job, at least in the short term. Some of those people will exit asap though once they find something better.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country.
