I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Feeling a bit lost, working as a Mid-Market account manager for a listed company in Aus and moved across from marketing (3yrs exp) last year.

Company restructures so I've landed in an great paying position but it's a dead end and will probably be made redundant in 12-18 mths, and it's a tick box role (won't learn much tbh).

Do I look to go back to marketing with a pay cut, look at a different company in sales (but don't have much exp), or ride this out and reassess in 6-12mths? Thank you.

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue.

I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?
