What are some hacks out there for getting a higher salary or just consulting in general? I have heard that being able to start asap usually leads to some more wiggle room from most firms but have not tried it in practice. Excited to hear other methods that people have taken advantage of though!

A company that is urgently trying to fill a position does give you some leverage to negotiate. Showing that you are in demand can also help, but use that with caution. Figure out what the company needs and put yourself in a light that checks all those boxes.

its supply and demand. Always. If you have no leverage, you cant really negotiate. But I always disclose my current salary and tell them what i need to move on. I have a number in my mind and don't play games. You lose the negotiation when you don't know what success looks like for you. If you have no other offers and no current job, take what is offered. Honestly. Dont play games because you have none.

I agree with this. I have noticed in this job market, there isn't much negotiating. Candidates are lining up to find jobs so companies aren't really moving on their number.

Not sure there are any real hacks that can be used, but to get a higher salary you generally have to make a case based on your experience and what you bring to the table. If you can start right away, that's usually helpful. A potential employer wants to know that someone can step into a job and get right to work without a lot of drama. So just being easy to deal with could perhaps be a hack that some people overlook.

Fidelity Investments I joined FIL on 08th August 2022 and hence was eligible for appraisal but even after a good feedback, I was told that there is no increment in salary as well as bonus because of "Too Soon To Decide" rating. And this is being followed not just in our team but in whole FIL. This is the first time I am hearing such kind of thing and didn't found any thing like this on "HR Hub". So, if anyone of you know about this or have received similar gyan from Manager, please share your experience. Fidelity In

Business Analyst (Internal Hire) working in freight technology knowing I am incredibly underpaid.

I’m in my 2nd month as an internal hire (formerly a Pricing Analyst). I did negotiate for a higher salary when I made the transition receiving nothing but the promise of a conversation to reevaluate in three months.

I’ve been able to hit the ground running, picking up the slack, and have delivered tickets as if I was already a Business Analyst.

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Square Veeva @teletracking

Trying to decide between 3 offers remote/Columbus

Square is 84k salary 5k bonus and 80k stocks vesting over 4 years

Teletracking is 125k cash 5k bonus

I know about Square the most and if they paid closer to Veeva and Teletracking I’d probably go there but it seems like they underpay.

So I accepted an offer back in mid March but I didn’t negotiate it up and now I’m regretting it, because apparently you’re supposed to.

If not, how do I go about it?
