Received an offer and was told it was “not negotiable.” How negotiable are “not negotiable” offers? Has anyone had luck in negotiating for better terms (e.g., salary, sign on bonus, etc.)?

Just negotiate the fact that it isn’t negotiable. Then you can easily negotiate.

Walmart/Jet does this. I applied to a role and when I was asked to schedule an interview I was emailed the JD and the salary, which said non-negotiable.

This only works if you're actually willing to walk away if they don't negotiate.

Be prepared to walk, and if the salary is not something you’re gonna be happy with, don’t take it. Something better will come along. Recruiter just offered me $135k for a role I’m interested in and said it’s non negotiable. I said I could accept anything lower than 150k. They then said they will talk to the hiring team and get back to me.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
