Following, also looking for recommendations. Feel like whenever I read about negotiation, it’s great in theory, but not practical or tactful

Got an offer from another firm, let current firm know and they upped me by 50k.
There was some blowback but got the pay bump

like

I was a senior manager leading a large program of projects, 30m in revenue over 2 years, at a priority client. I had a close relationship with their EVP who became the acting COO of that division.

The blowback was they felt it was opportunistic and that I was holding them hostage. I had brought the experience primarily from the outside and they hadn’t developed a backup.

I had asked for help because I was burning out but leveraged the offer to get a match. That compeitor was also an active competitor at the client.

Was offered $60k, negotiated to $70k + $7.5k signing bonus by leveraging my educational background and other competing offers.

Offered $100k got to $120k- made it a point to reiterate what skills/ed I was bringing to the table, was also able to negotiate title bump

like

What do you mean negotiate title bump? Like you interview for a position, got offer, and you negotiated for a title one level higher?

Told the firm that i want to be evaluated based on my potential and not what my current pay is, said this was an ethical principle that i am going to stay firm on and hope they would understand to make me an offer based on this.

The firm when making me an offer said they baselined my current pay at a value that was £15k more than my current pay and raised it by another 20%...

Slam dunk!

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.
