61% of people miss out on higher pay, so in this video, I'm going to share my 5 tips on how to negotiate salary after receiving a job offer and help you get over that mental barrier stopping you from salary negotiation in the first place.
In order to negotiate a salary offer effectively, you would preferably not do it over email, but rather face-to-face or over the phone. Then, imagine you are negotiating the job offer on behalf of a friend, since this helps you get into the confident and assertive mindset.
You want to give a specific salary figure when you're countering a job offer since the other party will assume you have done extensive homework into your market value.
You want to also have a walk away point (a worst case scenario) BEFORE you even begin negotiating your job offer because you definitely don't want to accept something that's way too low.
Finally, when countering a job offer or countering a salary package, you want to rely on facts instead of feelings because you want to help your counterpart understand exactly why you deserve what you're asking for.
Those 5 practical tips are will help you negotiate for a higher salary after a job offer!

I used my last wage as a platform and hear what they had to say. However, I never did negotiate pay during an interview...is that bad though?!
@@BrandonSugiura not bad of course! But next time you can consider negotiating 😁
Yes, I just did today. I have 10 years experience in Utilization Management (non-clinical) and received an offer of $21/hr. I explained that, based on my research and interviews with other companies for similar roles, the pay range is $25-$31 for an experienced candidate. I asked if there was room in their budget to negotiate the base wage. I then received a very curt response stating that they would not be moving forward with their offer to me. It was not friendly and told me a lot about the company.
By the way, Taco Bell and Panda Express in my area are paying $19-$23 per hour with no experience.
@@yadiradufrenne1854 It seems you dodged a bullet there my friend!
Omg after 3 interviews and assessment tests, just got a job offer letter from a tech company here in NYC last Monday and I counter-offered for 10%... I was so nervous after she told me mmm not sure bit I'll ask and i’ll get back to you at the end of the week. I thought oh man I think I blew it! They're gonna rescind and that's it. I called and left a VM last Thursday to follow through, recruiter didn't replied. I couldn't sleep and so much anxiety. Next day Friday ( today) I called again around 11:30am. no answer and I left a voicemail. I was about to give up when the phone rang and voila! She apologized cuz of so many meetings! Whew! I got the job plus the offer I wanted. I was so happy and ecstatic! So People, negotiating your salary once u get an offer letter really works! Trust me! Oh, thank u bro for the advice and tips and pointers. It really helped me.
Wow. Just wow. Congrats my friend!!! This made my night. I hope you enjoy the new role :)
Yes! Thanks man! Great to have a job again after almost a year since Covid hit. Wow, gotta adapt on my new surroundings, meet new acquaintances and new client's and of course 😄lol dress code. I haven't worn my dress shoes and suits since March of last year. Omg. Hope it still fits. I start end of this month. New challenges new beginnings. Show my skills and contribute to the organization. Here we go baby!
I was offered 65K and negotiated to 75K on Friday. And voila on Monday they rescinded the offer 😅 first time I experienced this and still couldn’t get over it so here I came to comment randomly on stranger comment for the first time lol thanks for reading
This makes me not want to negotiate 😢
Wow so amazing
This is my first time negotiating, I asked 80-85 in the start of interviewing. I saw in glassdoor the estimate salary is 60-95k, then at the end I said I did research on salary and I think I should get at-least 92k and then close the deal in 89k base and 12% bonus. So yes, you should always negotiate.
That's awesome to hear Ankita!! Congrats!!! 😁
Hi Ankita! I’m just curious, how did you put it across to them that you did research & expected 92k salary, when you’ve already revealed your comfortable range?
I’ve always thought that if we “revealed” our asking offer accidentally (I’m currently in this situation now :/) we’d lose a lot of leverage
@@OneInstance I had the edge as the skill set they were looking is pretty unique and I had that. Plus they were pretty happy with the interview. However, I agree revealing the lower salary can effect our negotiation power. In the start I asked 80-85 and then agreed than the median is 85 ( which gave me a hint that they have the room) plus I did the research on company and this position has the estimate range of 60-103k. I asked them very politely and used some firm words like I believe that with my experiences and exposure in xyz give me an edge and I deserve at least 92k, can you please see if you have that wiggle room.
I would say it’s better to have this negotiation on phone rather than on email as you never know how they are taking it. Also if possible do the negotiation on Thursday as they are in wind up state and wants to wind up things with happy weekend mood. All the best!
@@ankitaahuja111 Hahaha thanks for that Ankita!! Really helpful answer :) I’m going to try my best to be firm but yet really respectful to them :)
@@OneInstance you can refer this video ruclips.net/video/4VBjjkbEthY/видео.html it helped me a lot. All the best!
Hi Jeff, I recently went through a very intensive interview process for my dream job. I watched you’re videos and leveraged all the information learned in my interviews. I found out I GOT THE JOB!! Now it’s time to negotiate!! Thank you for making me an extremely competitive candidate!
Wow thanks for making my night! Congrats my friend!!!!
How did it go
Yes how did it go?
I got a 50% pay bump by not revealing my current salary to the hirer. I have always felt underpriced and I am due for promotion at end of month from my current company. However, I do know that my company isn't going to give me the best deal as I had accepted a lower pay scale initially.
I told the interviewer that it isn't the way I do things, and I do not wish to reveal it as I believe that my skills are worth xxx and it should not be based on my current remuneration. 5 days later they came back with a salary that was higher than what I was asking (I was asking for 40% more). Crazy as it is, I'm finally reaping my reward after 5 years in the industry.
Moral of the story - don't screw yourself over, give them nothing to benchmark you on, and often times, that is when they will treat u fairly.
I feel like crying coz new employer wants to bench mark with how I entered the job market when I had just graduated
This is really helpful however I made the mistake of giving my current salary to the employer. I wish there was a way to avoid that in my country
That's ideal way to hire.
I am in the exact same situation with my current job and I just received an offer that will bump my salary up to 10k. Thanks for sharing man
Only after being on the hiring side was I exposed to the amount of effort and time to find a candidate who is a good fit for my team and company. As an employer, I can attest showing your worth for each skill based on market data is very good leverage. Stack up your skills to show how agile you are, and how they can be useful to the employer in future scenarios (e.g. if there's an industry event, a new marketing strategy, new target market for the employer).
I also find ladies are not as confident as men - don't be! Go for it girls!!
Amazing insight Diana! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! Much needed info.
My situation is quite unique. Just was offered a procurement position for a MAJOR airline.. the catch .. it’s temp to perm. I’m currently working (5yrs). The temp is paying more than I’m making now. I’m super excited I was offed the position but, since this a temp position and I’m giving up a “secured” perm position… should I come out guns blazing? Well, not full on blazing.. but..
Side note, the airline called me directly to interview for a management position direct for the them. I turned it down as I am not interested in being management.
Ughhhhh…. What to do… what to do.
Any guidance is appreciated
Much gratitude
@@azrael5310what did you do eventually?
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I’ve never actually considered how expensive the hiring process is for the employer so this was very educational 😊 I’ll be keeping your tips in mind, thanks for the video!
Exactly! It's human nature to think about ourselves all the time (guilty) but once we realize that the other party is just as invested (if not more), we realize we have a little bit of wiggle room when facing a large corporation ;)
This video helped me negotiate an $8k increase from my initial offer. Thank you so much. The points that you made about negotiating being a commendable skill and your employer respecting the fact that you stood up for yourself, were spot on!
Glad to hear it my friend 😁
Thank you Jeff!! That tip about negotiating for a friend gave me a real confidence boost!
Yesssss that's what I love to hear!
About to put this to practice as I was asked for a target salary range. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, Jeff!
Glad to hear it, best of luck!
One thing I would like to add. You can always negotiate a non paid vacation when you start a new job. My last job I told them I had 2 weeks off in December and my vacation was planned and paid for. The company had no problem with it. Only problem was I heard non stop complaints of it from my coworkers. I took 2 weeks off after 1 month on the job. Nice video..
Hahaha thanks for the input Mike 😁
Great content as usual, Jeff! Could you do a part 2 of this where you negotiate salary in the same company you’re already working with for a pay raise? Can’t wait to see what else you have to share! ✨
Will definitely plan for that down the road! Thanks Erika!
@@JeffSu any tips#
@@JeffSu any tips? I checked and no video. Would you mind commenting on here to let us know? Thanks!
This channel is so underrated!!! Thanks Jeff for all ur interview and career tips!!
I couldn't agree more 😉, thank you!
I did all of this unintentionally. Thanks Jeff! I feel a lot better about how I handled the process now.
Wow you're a better negotiator than me for sure!! 😁
Former technical recuriter for Orbital ATK and SpaceX - this is really great advice, applicable to virtually any industry or job market. Glad this came up on my feed, sharing with friends.
Woohoo thank you 😁
I’ve been a working professional for over 20 years and can count on one hand how many times I’ve had the nerve (and knowledge) to negotiate. Thanks for breaking down these steps into less intimidating actions.
Trust me I was in the same boat 😁
Thanks for this J. I always find your videos down to earth, logical and energetic. Keep them coming.
Glad you think so Ufo :), thank you and will do!
Thank you Jeff! This is exactly what I needed
That's awesome Jake! Hope you're able to use some of the tips :)

Thanks Kajol!!! 😁
Can not thank you enough! I'm happy to be a part of the 39% of those who do !!!
Woohooo Congrats!
Just want to say thanks for the salary negotiation tip. It works and just accepted a job offer.
Wow!! Congrats my friend! What field will you be joining?
Love this video! I’ve been in my current company for six years and recently became licensed. I applied for a transfer in my company and they offered me the position but with the lowest base pay possibly. This was the first time that I’ve negotiated a salary. Sometimes we don’t realize our worth and may put our own values and needs to the side for others. I’m waiting to hear back about whether my offer was accepted! 🤞🏾
Best of luck!!
How did it go?
love your detailed videos. They are really helping me. God Bless!!!
Glad to hear it Maria, you're extremely welcome! 😁😁
Jeff, nice video and ideas. Your editing and style is great!
Thanks so much Dave! Appreciate the support man! Hope the content is useful as well :)
Great material, just got an offer and looking forward to negotiate. Thanks for your tips!
Nice! Best of luck Julian and congrats on the offer 😁
I DID IT!.. sent an email negotiating the salary after the written offer was given and they counter offered what to what i wanted! Was soo nervous they was going to take back the offer 🤣
AWESOME!! Congrats 😁
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you so much for help with a sample justification!
No problem 😁

Thank you Gabriel 😁
Sign me up for that 6% annual bump in perpetuity lol
Why stop there? Let's go for the 10% 😉
And I was told this year's 3.8% was among the highest he'd ever seen...
If your not getting at least 4-5% increase yearly you are loosing money due to inflation
@@levittperezeven at 4-5% you're losing on inflation
@flapcat4681 especially during the Biden administration!
This will be my first time negotiating today. Getting all the tips I can.

Thanks for the advice Jeff. I have a final interview tomorrow. If I get the offer, I will negotiate my salary via email. Wish me luck. Best from Australia 🇦🇺.
Best of luck!
Thanks, Jeff. Very practical video!
Glad to hear it!! We're all about being practical on this channel 😁
Guys, this is IMPORTANT: "Negotiation is a valuable life skill. Attempting to negotiate makes you more attractive in the employer's eyes"

Hey Jeff! Been hooked to your channel and this video couldn't have been more perfect! I'm in a weird spot right now. I have been interning for 3 months at the firm and they offered me a job. And also asked to present an expected package as I have to relocate now (as an employee). I've a number in mind and points for negotiating, mostly after watching this video and thinking about it. So thanks! I just hope I do good while talking about salary.
Wow! First of all congrats on the return offer! Let me know how the negotiation goes 😁

Jeff Su thanks for the video . Being a fresher I learnt a lot from you.
HI Yathish! How I miss my college / uni days. Thanks for the comment 😁
After nearly a YEAR on the job hunt...I finally found another job.
Funny enough, this company offered the exact same amount that I was making in my previous one (mind you, I never told them my previous salary), which I was already happy with. But after speaking with my brother-in-law who's more experienced in my field, we decided it'd be best to negotiate the offer. I was on board with the idea, but this was my first time negotiating AND I also have heard rare cases of offers getting rescinded because of negotiation efforts, so I was a little on edge...the LAST thing I wanted to do was to return to filling countless applications after already having searched for over 10 months. I watched this video, did some research and at the end of the day, came away with a base salary that was +$2k higher than the initial offer. It's not a huge number but I'm definitely happy with this because like I said I was already satisfied with the previous base salary 😁
Thanks for this video Jeff! ♥
WOOHOOO CONGRATS!!!
I'm so glad I found your channel!

In the middle of a negotiation now. Got a job offer (which I negotiated), presented offer to current employer and will talk today
Best of luck 😁
Thank you Jeff for the great content😊
I decided to watch this video because I work in tech and just recently, for the 4th time in my life I got my offer rescinded (all from startups) when I brought up negotiation after the verbal offer.
I've done a good amount of research on negotiation online yet this has happened 4 times already; your technique is exactly what I've been using - remain polite and professional, 1. give them a range I had in mind and how we can close the gap (I usually ask for about 1% increase for the fear of getting the offer taken away) 2. If no ask for a sign on bonus
At this point I usually get my offer rescinded. I wonder if this is because I'm interviewing for startups as I've never had this issue with bigger tech companies. I also wonder if this is their negotiation strategy of the company as 1 of the 4 companies decided to extend me the offer again after they rescinded the offer and I let them know I can take the original offer. I'm a woman in tech and after the 4th time it's been traumatizing to get my jobs taken away. This makes me want to never negotiate ever again in my life and just accept the first offer 😔
Hi JeeSoo, I don’t know the size of the startups you’ve interviewed for, but in my experience, startups with smaller sizes (less than 50 people) they tend to really try to pay less to the newly hire since they are paying the employees not from the profit they made but from the investor-funded money. Also, if their business is not stable yet, they want to save costs(including employee salary) as much as they can to keep their business afloat longer.
I can think of the above cases that you may have not had a good experience in negotiating with startups - which actually sounds like a not a good/stable place to start with in the first place.
Anyway, I wish you good luck negotiating in the future.
Thanks for the advice. Bit different here in the UK but still insightful
Ah how is it different?
This was excellent!!!!
Thanks 😁
The tips are great!!
Thank you Shelly!!
Your content is superb, Jeff! One question: Wonder if you have suggestions on timeline optimization (e.g., when to start sending out applications; how long one should expect to spend in interviews) for people who have a busy full-time job and need to plan for a job change at the same time. I have not planned my transition time well in my past job changes (always quite hurried and don't wait long enough for more bargaining powers) and would love to pick your brains on how to go about this in a more structured&strategic&manageable way. Thanks!
Hi Shan - Not sure I 100% understand but it seems like you're trying to plan job search, applications, and interviews a bit better? To be honest there's no set formula for this but I think there's a saying that goes "the best time to look for a job is when you have one" and I definitely agree with it. Doesn't hurt to chat with recruiters or other hiring managers even when you're perfect content with what you're doing right now, so if you do start the process, it's not rushed and you still have leverage :)
@@JeffSu You got what I was trying to ask perfectly despite my imperfect way of formulating the question :) Very well said, Jeff!
My question is can you negotiate the salary at any job? Like a burger flipper at McDonald's or a Janitor? I could see you negotiating a position at a corporate job but what about a starter job or low-end job?
Negotiating is an attractive quality!
Thank you 😏
That iPhone joke was fire!
Thanks Akula! I aim to please 😉
I am negotiating a position right now as I type. This is my 4th back and forth with HR haha. I am definitely playing hardball, but this is for my future. I do work for them, they have to take care of me.
Exactly! Best of luck and let me know how it goes 😁
@@JeffSu Update:
I got the job with no prior experience. They took longer than usual interviewing more candidates. I didn't take the position right away while keep doing my best work, this could of gone left. At the end of the day the company accepted my offer, took 2 months but hey.
@@geckosquad3900 congrats!!!!
@@JeffSu Thanks for the info!
Great content as usual
Thank you Emma 😁
I'm receiving a job offer this week and I made the mistake of disclosing how much I currently make and what I expect to receive during the interview process. Obviously the higher the better as you said. Is it too late for me to counter offer and negotiate?
Also let's say I can negotiate, how do I know what the industry standard is? I work in the insurance field and I see the salary range is all over the place, depending on the company. For example, Company A with a similar position seems to pay less than 50% of what Company B pays. I can't seem to find a salary for this specific position either.
"Almost enough to afford that new iPhone." LOL!!! Well played Jeff. Excellent video
I mean...it's true 😏
"Gave up Netflix!" That touched my soul 😂
I know right?? hahaha
Thank you for the pep talk, off to negotiate 😂🎉
Good luck!
So good !!
Thanks!!
I have a recruiter telling me since since there are a new company of 100 people they pay below, the industry, standard, which, even if it’s true, I don’t appreciate them already trying to lower my standards. The difficult part is the company is doing amazing work, but at the same time, I don’t want to discount my value by a large amount or even really a medium amount. I’m also concerned about joining a company with a culture for underpaying their staff because how does that speak to my future earning potential? The recruiter also talked about potential equity along with salary, and when she tried to push me on what I would expect, I said will it depends on what sort of equity package would be offered and I guess she wasn’t willing to speak to that and she said well maybe we can continue this discussion after the in person assessment and interviews and I’m like yeah.😂
Hey if you impress them enough maybe you'll bump up their offer!
The only thing I 100% disagree with is pulling applications/stop interviewing. Do not stop until your butt is sitting in the chair on the first day. Companies have pulled positions before.
That's a great point! Especially with the environment we're in today!
I got $6000+ more using your suggestions! I didn't expect this much lol
Woohooooo that's amazing 🙌. Is that monthly or annually?
@@JeffSu Monthly.

Can you do a vid on negotiation for annual pay raise? Or what's the industry average that you're in
This was amazing
Glad to hear it Rasoul! 😁
I’ve received an offer from a “company”, but have also applied for a different position within the same “company”, but better location.
I’d rather accept the closer position, but the hiring process is long and I want to get my foot in the door, so I’m accepting the offer from the first position, but is it wise to negotiate if I plan on taking the closer position? Or should I save the negotiating for the closer position if I get an offer for that one?
Hey Jeff, would like to hear your opinion on this. A day after my interview, HR informed me that I was shortlisted as their finalist. They asked for my expected salary, and I gave them 3500-3800. The next day, HR informed me that the offer has been approved, and will be speaking to me tomorrow in details. But now, I sort of regretted giving that range since it is a shift job (working in morning / afternoon / night shift). I will be very glad to accept it if ultimately they are offering me 3,700-3,800 monthly. But if it's towards the lower end of the range I've given, how could I ask for a higher salary? Or I shouldn't be asking for more since that was the range I gave? I graduated in mid 2020, had one year experience working in a totally unrelated role, unemployed for close to 5 months . I didnt have prior work experience related to the new role or its industry.
how did it go? can we get an update?
Thank you! Much needed info.

I also learned that if they try n lower your salary during negotiations you can negotiate your leave days to be more which automatically at the end of the year if you did not use those leave days the days gonna turn to money
That would work for some companies yes! Thanks for sharing!
i Sent the email and applied all your steps, waiting for response and feeling SUUPEEER NERVUUUUUSSSSSSS , PRAY FOR MY OFFER TO GET ACCEPTED EVERYONE !
Good luck Deema!!! 😁
How did it go? Any updates 🥺?
6:20 On the ethical part... these days it's very common for employers to change their minds, or be hesitant with extending a contract. This Summer I had a verbal agreement but even two months later there was no contract. It left me no choice but to continue interviewing, but then in the end they did decide to make a formal offer. Not sure how I feel about this point now.
Personally I'm leaning towards continuing interviewing right up until the start date.
Honestly you should do what's best for you!
Thank you Jeff for your tips I would like to know if you succeeded the first time you negotiated.
So to be honest, I regret NOT negotiating my first job offer out of college. Looking back, I definitely had some of the mental barriers I mentioned in this video. But I am happy to say that I did successfully negotiate a few offers afterwards :)
I'm not really good of doing this..I've tried it and used that rate based on how my spending limit is and how well off I can be with that amount.
Hi Jeff, thank you for providing such a wonderful video for us. I have 2 questions:
1. I am a new grad, and don't have work experience, how can I negotiate my salary with a recruiter?
2. When do I negotiate my salary, is the time when I receive the offer call or when I get the official offer by email?
3. I only see the hourly salary but not the annual salary of this position, what type of salary will I negotiate?
1. Did you get other offers?
2. When you receive the offer call
3. Hourly
@@JeffSu 1. No, my past experience does not align well with this position. When I did the interview, I highlighted my soft skills.
3. I see the salary range of this position is above the average, like 60%-75% in the salary range, do I still need to negotiate?
Hi Jeff,
Do you think those tips apply to a yearly salary increases? Or in professional advancement in the same place of work?
Thanks!
Really depends on the company but overall I would say this is more applicable to large corporates!
Great!
Thank you 😁
Thanks for great tips
Irrelevant Question
What camera u used to record it. It is super HD and clear
Did you use other tools apart from camera
you can find the gear I use here: www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear
Idk if this would apply in my case. Every company roughly pays the same for any job at the position I’m applying for. (Or was applying for.) also recruiters ask how much are you looking for before the actual interview/offer..aka if you don’t fit that range I assume they look elsewhere.
What not negotiating means to employers is that you lack confidence, ability to make boundaries, and you’re willing to be abused because they can walk over you from step 1.
I negotiate on the edge of aggressive and that makes them take me seriously. I put them on the back foot and then they feel like they need to please me with a salary I want.
Great points Brain!
Hey Jeff, most of companies ask your salary expectations before the interview process in the screening call. What to do in this case? Can you deviate from the number you mentioned during screening after getting the offer?
I would push back by first trying to understand what the role entails and the team I'd be working with etc. "Before we dive into specific numbers, I'd like to first..."
@Javier Rodriguez thanks for the feedback Javier 😁
