What’s the most ridiculous salary negotiation gamble you’ve seen someone you know take and have it pay off? I know someone who asked for double the offered sign on bonus and got it - brought it up to over 100k cash. Didn’t even really have counter points other than saying it was too low (engineer at top tech company).

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Hi all,

I would like to hear out your opinions on internal salary negotiations at the back of promotion.
