Okay say you have two job offers and you want to negotiate salary with one of them- would you bring up the second offer to use as leverage, or would you focus on making a case for more $$$ independent of the other offer?

Agreed on above. But be prepared for them to walk. So make sure you’re ok with the other role.

They won’t walk if you try to leverage the other offer. They just may not be able to offer you more than the other company and you’ll have to decide if you are ok with the offer anyways.

Use the other offer. It’s a tangible leverage.

I can’t think of a single reason to NOT use the other offer.

If you’re smart about your phrasing, by all means use the other offer as leverage but be prepared to have your A pick balk. If you’re a dick about it, different story. I’ve used phrasing like, “I have an offer from another firm that’s X% above what we’ve discussed, but working with your team is my preference. Do we have any wiggle room to come up?”

like

Always use the other offer

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hi,

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
