When negotiating, how much above minimum salary would you ask for? I don’t want them to rule me out altogether, but also don’t want to sell myself short.

I don't give two shits about the minimum or their max. I go do the research on what the position should be paid for the market, factor in my experience and time in the position. Figure out a range I'm willing to fall into, and tell them my top dollar. Use that as a starting point for negotiations, and don't step a dollar out of what my bottom range is. If after all of that I get ruled out, then the relationship between that company and myself isn't a good fit. If they can't take the time to research what the position is worth, then I'll find the company that does. From my experience the companies that are offering below market value, are also going to treat you below your expectations anyways. So why bother?

When you’re negotiating you should already have the offer on hand. You NEVER negotiate salary before they give you an offer. Do your market research and give a number high on the range.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?
