Ok people, everyone here has some really good suggestions. With the ones that have these same concerns. I believe I have a way to begin this conversation. In such a way that will put in the driver's seat 💺.
You ask, by the way, it wasn't stated. What's the pay/salary range? Once you know the offer, say ok. So what does the "MAX OFFER" employees bringto the table. In comparison to the "MINIMUM OFFER" employee. Now you have a gage for your negotiation.
I hope this was helpful 🤑😉🙂

I've seen a couple posts along these lines. I think it's a really smart question to pose to interviewers. Haven't had an interview in a while, but this will be on my list of ?s to ask at the end of my next one.

I think this is a good idea but it won't always work. However it's worth trying and I think I'll do that next time. That way I can know if I'm at the upper range or the lower range based on my experience and knowledge.

I think it’s always worth trying!

Fair point, I typically just ask "is this negotiable?" and then I've done research on the role, industry, company and competitors.

But this is a clever way to flip the script on the recruiter - you just need to make sure you can back up why you're a top-dollar candidate!

Hello! I need some (creative) suggestions on how to do a video interview. I live in a very small 1br apartment with my husband occupying the bedroom for work during the day and a 2 yr old occupying the living area. I thought of the kitchen but it’s proximity to a busy road makes it a little too noisy to have a good call. The bathroom perhaps? Will that create an echo? I am thinking of using a backdrop so that the mess will be covered up. It will be a 30-min interview.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

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. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
