What can you do once you accepted a job offer but realized you didn’t negotiate well and could have asked for more? Edit: I started with the firm(not KPMG) but didn’t know what others were getting paid and I thought it was okay compared to what I was getting previously. People are getting 10-20k more in the same role.

Ok came across as things you do today to up your salary relative to peers. When the next review period comes up be proactive with your boss about wanting to see where you line up compared to peers. Depending on your relationship, if comfortable, you can say you are aware of peers making significantly more and see the response. As someone new you need to be patient and show some value to make this conversation easier

Use the new knowledge at the salary negotiation.
We have that once year where I am from.

Simply state that you've found that the market value of your services seems to have increased to about 30k + and that you expect that your salary will reflect that going forward.

Unless you are bluffing they really have no option but to match, as you could just switch jobs + costs on their side associated hiring and onboarding etc. And new candidates likely to demand the same salary anyways. 👏

This is on you. Poor diligence and negotiation

My response is my observation of the situation. I’m implying you can’t do anything. Go ahead and ask for more money but they’re going to say no. They’ll cite experience, location, etc in defending why they have pay bands

Reminds me of when Pippen took the long term deal with the Bulls, and was upset a few years later because he realized he could have gotten much more. Lesson learned, but the only corrective action is to keep interviewing. Get another job offer and have them match, or take it.

And don't talk about salary, it will just piss you off, or the other person. No win situation.

Thanks, I don’t want to intimidate them with another offer right now, it’s too soon and may come off as aggressive/greedy.

Always works better to move

It’s been only a couple months here. Don’t wanna look like a hopper. Plus making a move comes with a lot of work.

Hi guys, so a friend of mine has been head hunted for a job as a designer position for a interior design company.

He’s thinking of going for a meeting with the other company. What kind of questions do you think should be asked in the meeting?

Is this normal?
