So about 200 days ago, I posted asking for some suggestions on a salary negotiation situation I found myself in.
I’ve always negotiated my salary. Not only are people who negotiate perceived as more assertive but stats actually show them to be more productive.
Anyways, I’ve always done it (3 different jobs in my professional career) and have always been able to bump up the initial offer.
In this case because I mentioned in my post that they were already within my target range in the initial offer, a couple of people were very aggressively calling me greedy.
You have to remember a company is not doing you a favor by hiring you, it’s a business transaction and you should NOT sell yourself short. As easy as they hire you they can also let you go.
Anyways, forgot to follow up but I got the job with a 16% bump from the initial offer. So yeah, moral of the story know your worth and ALWAYS negotiate!
