Was just chatting with my brother-in-law, who’s been grinding through the job search for over a year.

He finally got an offer from a company.

I asked him one simple question:

“Did you negotiate your salary?”

He said, “Yeah.”

My response? “Good job.”

Then he told me the rest…

They added $40,000 to his offer.

All because he spoke up.
Do you negotiate? Has it worked in your favor?

Wow, good for him! That's one of the reasons it's so important to advocate for yourself. I've never gotten that much more, but I've always increased my salary by a few thousand just because I asked for it.

Definitely need to advocate for yourself or else no one else will!

I wouldn’t have done anything in this market if I desperately needed the job. Having an offer off the table because I asked for more would break me after looking for so long.

I guess it would depend on your situation but I would still negotiate because you deserve what you are worth

Always always negotiate! The worst they can do is say no.
