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.
