was negotiating salary & was told by partner that 1) i shouldn’t be negotiating bc i have experience (the position is entry level but i’ll be coming it w ~1 yoe) but bc i deserve it and have skills 2)that higher salary means higher expectations and that’s something i should keep in mind. i responded w what transferable skills i’m developing in my current job

i was negotiating within the salary band (80-84k) tho i agree w him, this conversation felt a little odd, any thoughts?

He is a better negotiator - that's what it means :-)

I think it makes sense.

In the end if I'm hiring someone I want the higher performer. That means someone with skills to do x and y at a strong level, not just someone with work experience.

I don’t think it’s way off base. Tell him what he wants to hear that you have x and y skill that that other candidates don’t have and you deserve the top of the range and that you will meet whatever expectations he sets. Get the bag💰

Plz understand once u are through the negotiation : he and they won’t give a shit. But you should. I’d say “That’s excellent - really excited for the high expectations. I won’t let you down!” An extra 4k is much more meaningful to you, than them. Stand strong,

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D.

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
