Probably had my worst experience ever last evening, negotiating a salary. I've been bummed out since and it took me a whole night's sleep to even be able to talk about it. I was explaining my previous experience and how much I was able to contribute even outside my job description, which led me to ask for $4/h more than the offer. I literally got told I was being 'gluttonous' and was rejected my ask. It's not even the rejection, it's the word that's haunting me. What did I do to deserve that?

Don't feel bad. I worked 6 months fir Hampton in by Hilton in Goldsboro NC. In the beginning they promised a $250 referral program, they never paid me nor 4 other new girls out. Then they said if you still here in December you will get a bonus. At the the Christmas party they sent us out afterwards to only give their full-time workers a bonus. We worked for only $10 an hour for months like a slave and never, ever got a bonus. So their advertisement for the job is a false 🤔 statement.

I know you asked for the raise based on your experience and contributions, and that's understandable. But, from the recruiter's perspective, they might have seen it as a bit aggressive, especially if they were already stretching their budget to make the initial offer.

That is uncalled for on their part. I hope you leave a review of their company, so future candidates will know. You didn’t deserve that.

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
