Recruiters: for junior roles that disclose compensation up front, is there ANY negotiation after an offer? Have you ever rescinded an offer bc of negotiation?

Look. Everything is negotiable and you should always try to negotiate as much as you can. If they won’t budge on salary, negotiate for more pto, cell phone or WiFi reimbursement, more wfh benefits, etc.

Howeverrrrrrrr it is kind of a weird look to initially know and agree to the salary range, go through the whole process, and then say you want more salary than what they have approved. If they were open about it up front you should be open about how thats lower than your expectations.

I agree with both of these, but then again change is constant and inevitable. In the interim of interviewing for one position I’ve started interviewing for the same position elsewhere but for higher pay. So I think it’s something that can potentially be discussed at multiple points in the process. Also, I don’t think it’s weak to wait for them to make the first offer. It actually gives you more power negotiating, especially applying for junior roles when you don’t have much leverage to begin with. I was just trying to vet any experience on the other end of the hiring process for juniors to gauge whether this is even possible.

Absolutely there is always room for negotiation - and if your role is related to sales in anyway, you best negotiate your offer to show that you have strong negotiating skills. Offer will not be rescinded because of negotiation, and if it is, WRONG company!

Never hurts to ask, but there’s only so many bargaining chips you hold as a junior, I feel like one counter offer is acceptable and see if they’ll move up a bit

helpful

I would be cautious about using a counter offer to negotiate in general, but if you feel the salary offer is lower than market standard, then you can say “I’ve found in my research since we began this conversation that some agencies are offering X for this level. Could you meet this salary range?”

Suppose they ask you first, “what are you looking to make” or something like that. Never give them an exact number or range.
I would respond what’s the “salary band” for the position or something to that effect because they have a range to offer.

Of course, if you give a low number undervaluing yourself/not research what a normal pay range is, then; they would offer the lowest salary possible.

helpful

I would add to this - if possible, respond to this question with: “can you share a salary range you were thinking for this role?” just so you can give your most informed answer. There is no harm in asking this question so you can best advocate for yourself and give the most accurate range in response.
