What do you think is the biggest cultural difference negotiating an offer/salary in London vs NYC? Especially for upper management roles aka ones that report right into a CEO.

In general, salary negotiation in New York is expected so it’s pre-baked into the preliminary offer meaning the first offer will be at the low end of the scale. They expect you to negotiate up and the general advice is to ignore the offer and counter with as high a salary as you can reasonably justify because also, you’ll be expected to justify your counter offer. You can’t just throw a wild number out but also, you won’t be penalised for trying. In my experience in London, a counter offer outside a previously stated range has been met at times, with offence. And if the job is through a recruiter, they’ve been outright hostile (understanding their cut is based on the candidates accepting the agency offer number. But in NY recruiters generally receive a percentage of the signing salary so they work with you to get the highest reasonable signing salary.) London also seems to operate less on individual talent-based salaries (i.e. agencies willing to pay a premium for awards and other individual accomplishments) and seem to rely more on salary bands. But this has just been my experience as a New Yorker working in London. I don’t report to the CEO so may be different higher up the food chain. Either way, wishing you the best of luck!🤞
