Why does every hr in salary discussion say your expectation is not in our budget?

And what to say when they say this? Should we lower our hands expectation or negotiate after they release offer?

If market standard is same what you are asking and not something out of the box then no need to negotiate. Wait for the offer.

It's their strategy..you should stick to your expectations

Say that's great, but I'm hoping for something alone the lines x+y based on market data. Is there any wiggle room at all? But I would known when to fold - if it's not a HUGE decline from what you were expecting, go for it. They have to negotiate on their end too

Same here. The HR mentioned approved CTC is X but I was expecting X+2. It comes upto 50% hike on my current CTC . I did not agree for X and HR said they will check with the management. Now let's see..

Sur bro..

Best suggestion is to showcase your talents more and more till they get impressed.

Well technical team decides whether u clear the interview or not. I am not sure if they mention u should give this CTC max in their feedback. Then comes ur hiring managers he asks about ur strength and weaknesses and decide ur CTC. 🤣

Maybe you're just asking for too much?

Maybe your expectations aren't realistic?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary.

Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

Just had a compensation discussion with my manager. I work at a big fortune 50 company. I met expectations and got back my compensation review receiving a 3% merit increase.

My boss knows I’m disappointed, and I asked to setup a follow up convo. We talked about inflation being 7.5% and I’m losing purchase power.
