There was a company I really wished to work for. I made it to the interview a few months ago, but got ghosted after the 2nd round. I'm working at a different place that I don't care for now, and the other company just reached out asking if I'm available for immediate hire. Would you negotiate a higher salary leveraging the demand, or just be grateful for the opportunity and take it?

Ask for more, worse they can say is no

agreed!

Ask why they changed their mind. Did they hire someone that didn’t work out? Sounds like a bit of a red flag. Either way, you have a bit more leverage now so definitely ask for more to leave your new gig as you will be burning a bridge.

If I didn’t like my job now, I would probably, in all brutal honesty, just be grateful and take it. I’m not sure it’s the best answer, but probably what I would do.

I would definitely negotiate a higher salary. It sounds like they really want you, so the worst they can say is no. And after they ghosted you last time, I think it’s more than fair to ask for more money.

That’s the tricky part. A no in this case can be devastating since the person really desires to work for the company.

I'd definiitely makes use of the demand to ask for more. It makes no sense to not.

Yes! Do it
