Don't do it... They have a list for the next guy that will take that salary. If you are new there is probably nothing you have done that makes you more valuable than the next person as you learn on the job. #entitledmuch

In general, you can't. Do you have some special situation that gives you leverage relative to all the other entry level folk?

You're better off trying to squeeze a small stipend as a signing bonus.

I tried to negotiate with three different people, one being the head partner at office. They don't budge. It's because they set national wide standards for entry level salary. Just not worth your trouble unless you have another competitor consulting offer for higher salary.

Yeah. Don't.

Yeah signing bonus is better to ask for an increase.

Okay on one condition you may, if you have offer from a competing firm for the same type of job (widely debatable) - then you can you have another offer around xyz at abc firm.

Accenture negotiates...only if u say u have a better offer. It's worth bringing up but not fighting on it.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Are there any fundamental differences between a salary negotiation during the start (applying for the job) vs. Salary negotiation during a performance review (you’ve been employed for x time and looking for a raise).

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
