30% is fat... could easily lease a fast car with that.

Depends, could be a 35k to 45k increase which leaves one enough for some mcd big macs after tax

If its what you wanna do yeah. The bump enough would be good for me but to each their own.

The only information you've provided is around $$$. So I guess yes, because you're getting a decent amount more of it. Negotiate for more. If that's their starting offer, you should expect more. I'd be more interested in a higher base than a strings-attached signing bonus. But negotiate on everything and anything to maximize $$$. Figure out what similar peers are banking and what sort of things are on the table to negotiate

I didn’t get the extra 10k I asked for, relocation or a signing bonus. Lucky to have an offer during a pandemic and I had a job before, I wasn’t unemployed.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
