Entry level: non-negotiable
Everything else: negotiable

Just started working so all entry level positions. Recruiters started with “non negotiable”

One job I tried negotiating they straight up rescinded the offer. Another told me that giving me a sign on bonus was more than fair, but that's only 5% for one year, I wanted it in my salary. The job I have now I successfully negotiated for a 6% increase to base pay over asking. Also, when I was at Accenture I threw out a ridiculous number and they didn't even bat an eye and accepted so I didn't need to negotiate there.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Left McKinsey for a Fintech corporate last year. Really disappointed to see bonuses given out (cash is equivalent to half month salary, equity vested over 5 yes also not great) after getting the 5/5 rating and business doing well overall. Doubting my decision to come to industry. Is this the norm? Feels really low as historically variable has been a big enough component for me to pay down loans/invest.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
