With the last organization I was with I was recruited by an acquaintance who was in HR. I was given the job requirements and salary. It wasn't the position I desired but it was better than the stop gap I was working atthe time. I was chosen through a series of panel interviews of 19 candidates. I was then sent an offer letter of over 7% less than what HR stated by the Director..

Thankfully I had a direct line with the contact and I reached out to the contact and they had it corrected within 5 minutes and an updated offer letter was sent over immediately. Most companies_ hiring managers don't intentionally try to get over, but some nickle and dime new hires especially when salary discussions amongst certain positions is over emphasized as being forbidden.

Be careful. Be aware that salary negotiations are not thumbing your nose up at a position that you may feel that they nay come across as. If at all possible, be aware of what ranges are and how your skills and experience line up with the position. If you don't get what you are worth as a starting point, you'll either regret not having the conversation or will kick yourself as you try to work you up to that amount via raises.

Does anyone have suggestions for what a salary should be for a Digital Marketing Analyst | Paid Social & Performance Media? I have 1 year of experience, the job asks for 0-1 year of experience.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.
