I would typically say negotiate, but given this market, and since you’re changing industries, you may want to consider carefully. If you’re happy with salary, I’d say accept - only put effort into negoariaring if you’d be worse off financially by accepting without negotiating. . There’s an art to doing it and I wouldn’t recommend jeopardizing the role. I’ve heard on occasion in the past 6-12 months that people have had offers retracted after they have attempted to negotiate. All the best!
I don't think it's very common for them to pull an offer as long as you aren't trying to double your salary or something like that. A modest negotiation is not that big of a deal. They either accept it, counteroffer, or tell you that they are sticking with their original proposal. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Well if you don't want to negotiate, you definitely don't have to! Especially if you feel like the offer is fair. If you want to be a little bit bold, you could maybe do a 1% or 2% increase over the offer. Nothing crazy, but maybe some extra pocket change over the course of a year.
You can do some negotiating and as long as it's respectful and realistic and not overly confrontational there shouldn't be any danger of an offer being rescinded. When companies pull an offer it's usually because someone tried some negotiation that came off as unserious. That can just send a bad message. If you say you were hoping for more and make a counteroffer, as long as it's not ridiculous you should be fine, and you may get some of what you ask for.
Genuine question, what leverage do you intend to negotiate with?
I actually am not looking to negotiate, just looking to get my foot in the door, currently interviewing for a Market Development Representative (MDR) role which is a bit more Senior then an SDR role.
I’ll right off the bat get an automatic 30% salary increase before OTE.
After OTE about a 40%-50% increase of what I’m currently getting.
I’m looking forward to starting a career in tech sales (Saas)
Always negotiate
