    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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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

    • @ankitaahuja111
      @ankitaahuja111 3 года назад +29

      @@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!

    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.

    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!!

      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

    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..

    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! ♥

    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 😔

    • @mayahyewonlee7048
      @mayahyewonlee7048 2 года назад +1

      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.

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!

    • @JeffSu
      @JeffSu  2 года назад +2

      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 :)

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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..."
