Andrew LaCivita How do I create great techniques to increase my salary and compensation if you have been employed for over 2 1/2 years and achieving 75% more than your counter partners as Account Managers?
I literally cannot thank you enough for this!! A recruiter I was talking to kept asking me for a range, but because i'd seen this I just kept deferring and saying that they should give me an offer based on what they think I'm worth because I did my interviews well. Ended up getting an offer for 40K more than the high-end of the range I was actually expecting!!
I absolutely love your advice about the recruiter early on in the process. From my experience, often times the recruiters are wrong about comp range and half of them don’t check the actual job description.
I literally love your videos, there is so much power you’re giving to people like me who are bad at negotiating when their own salary comes into question.
This video is GREAT! I find myself currently in the negotiating phase and this video was so awesome for helping me to keep focused on what was important and feeling confident and comfortable in the negotiating process.
I am writing my response to the job offer. Whatever will happen next, I can handle it because... you have prepared me very, very well. This is for my special son. Thank you for being there, Andrew. 😊🙏
You are so dang entertaining to watch. Thanks for bringing your personality to every video you make. I LOVE your salary negotiation tips. This is so valuable for anyone negotiating their salary.
You are tooooo kind (as always). Thanks for this Heather. I'm also very much looking forward to taking in your new video on the cover and resume. I'm in the throws of live job search boot camp I offer and it's been round the clock stuff for the last two weeks and the next two weeks, but I always enjoy taking a little break to watch YOU! BTW, my long hours is no excuse for you NOT to pick up the phone! 😀😂😆
"It's money time!" Lol, love it! Your answer was spot on - there are so many other aspects of a job that can be considered instead of solely focusing on your salary. Love your videos and advice as always, Andy! Cheers!
I like Andrew’s videos but on this I’m not sure. Why not ask the recruiter what their budget is or range is? Otherwise why go for a job that’s isn’t going to pay at least the min you want. All depts have budgets wouldn’t you want to know early as possible to not waste time later on.
Thanks Andy, this information is so valuable! I made so many mistake along my job hunting including being specific and modest about my salary expectations too early. I will be applying your wisdom in my next job interview for sure!!
Super helpful tips on getting paid what you're worth during the job interview process! I am looking for a new job after working 30 years for the same software company, so listening to all your videos getting tips and tricks on going back to interview after all these years of not doing it has helped me tremendously!
I already have a job and have a annual performance review coming up. I have accomplished a lot in this last year, how do I ask for a raise in this review? Can you make a video with some tips for getting the most that I can? Love the videos, great work!
I remember a few years back, I was making 75k. I applied for a company, the recruiter asked for my desired salary. I told them $120k but it was negotiable later. I wasn't really looking for a new job and didn't really want to leave. $120k was the price to get me to leave but this seemed like a good opportunity. After the interview process, they gave me an offer of 80k. I immediately declined. The recruiter kept trying to convince me to take it, I kept declining. They came back with 90k and a 10k bonus, and Gave me 4 weeks of vacation instead of the original 2 weeks and 15% bonus instead of the original 10%. When I started, I found out that the budget for the brand new position ranged from $58k to $65k. I stayed for a year and went back to my old job. Old employer gave me 89k and kept my %15 bonus and 4 weeks vacation. I literally work about a quarter of what I was working when I left.
@@andylacivita another company wants to interview me but I jjust accepted an offer, should I listen to them? I just let them know that I accepted an offer already
You're speaking confidence to me. By the time im done listening I'll know what im doing too. I've never had these talks with anyone due to not having parents in my adult life. I work hard, i have the skills however, i fail miserably at marketing myself forgetting this is a business transaction. Thank you for sharing. I know my worth now and it's time to get paid. Away with these pennies I'm getting.....
Good advices! I have _always_ let *them* say a number (salary), which I can then react to. As you pointed out, if you mention a number it may be *lower than what they usually pay* for that type of job, and you won't get what you deserve. (Edit: type-o)
Love it! I previously dropped the ball in negotiating the relocation portion. I am now in the middle of another senior-level position interview with relocation. Any advice?
Thank you for this video (and all your videos). I got an exciting offer today only to find out that it was £30k below what was originally discussed. The benefits package is good but I cannot see a £30k value and this is a significant difference to where I am at. I told the recruiter at interview what my last salary was! I don't know what to do.
I am a Project Manager and am seeking to be a Senior Project Manager. At this point, I've built my stack and I've already had a conversation with my manager letting her know that this is my goal. We discussed 3 points that is expected from a Senior which are leading by example, analyzing our cases thoroughly, and being positive. I've shared with her how I've been executing all 3 areas in my current role. Her response was that she'll speak with the Director abt the next steps. Fingers crossed I'll get the promotion but when or if I fo get the promotion, what if I am not happy with the compensation? Am I able to use these techniques or is there actually a different way to approach this as it is a promotion rather than a new job? I look forward to hearing you.
Everyone needs to negotiate upfront....before "just agreeing"...even for crappy jobs...one can get $1-2-3 bucks more an hour; driving jobs, laboring, etc. Just smile...reiterate your skills, training, with a smile. And..."always be shaking your head 'up-and-down' like a boss"....they'll treat you like a boss. When someone can't pay...walk away.
Thanks again for all this great content. Got me super prepared to land a position that has excellent culture, excellent pay and benefits… I got to learn the Ins and Outs of interviewing because of these videos…
Be upfront and tell them what you have to offer. Ask the recruiter what essential skills the company is looking for. Don't ask for an amount, instead ask them what they think you are worth and make you an offer ; )
The Journal advice was great - really useful idea to implement - I should definitely do that to have powerful stories. My last interview was terrible on this front (and that was largely my fault), but I definitely could have been more ready with my stories and my examples. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Thank you so much for your video. I will test it today with recruiter meeting. I start looking for a new job after I’m senior level which my currently company lower paid me on the market now.
Just had an HR guy call me to set up the interview. He straight up said this pays $XXk per year. It was 20k below my target for that job and 15-20 below industry. I told him - “there must be more to talk about as far as total compensation goes. I made a lot more doing the same thing when I left the previous employer.” I had the interview on Friday - curious to see if they make an offer and studying how to handle it.
??? This video is THE BOMB! Thanks, Andy. 'It's money time' for me at the moment. After having no less than 5 interviews with this company (I'm an EA) and no-one bringing up compensation, they emailed me (we're in different time zones) asking what my expectations are. I will be using these amazing tips! I still have a few questions on what my day-to-day would be like, given the time zone thing. At what point should I bring that up/how would you suggest I approach it??? Big hugs from Spain :)
Love it! Glad the tips helped. On the question, I would try to get that info early in the process. It’s a straightforward question, especially considering the time zone difference. Go get ‘em!
@@andylacivita Thanks Andy, I plan to 'go get 'em'! All 5 interviews were with different people and only 20 minutes a pop so I didn't get to ask many questions. In response to their question on salary expectations, I essentially said 'I look at compensation holistically, send me the offer and I'll consider it and get back to you'. I intend to ask for some time to discuss the compensation so could bring up my schedule then. Thanks again, you're a legend and I have told SO MANY friends and family about your channel :)
Andyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! They made me an offer :) I wasn't crazy about it so I followed your advice and asked for a time to speak. We spoke, a few days later they sent me a revised offer - with no less than a 33% increase on the base salary BABY!!!! Huge thanks to you and your team for all of your help, guidance and wisdom! Once I get a little capital behind me I plan to join the boot camp :D
6 months ago your consultation landed me a senior position at the Dept of Urban Development in San Francisco. A Federal position. I'm white, though my qualifications were a perfect fit. My odds were Zero. Phone interview 1, They liked me. Phone interview 2+3 nailed it. Not only did I get the slot, I up'd my income GS11/7 start which in SF is $102k. I've outperformed and I'm worth GS12. You're the person to get the notepad out and clock that paper. Let's face it making money and getting undervalued is unjust. There needs to be some level of equanimity. Get paid what your worth, or leave. That's exactly what you did for me. You instill the confidence of a savvy corporate professional. Thank you sir.
Hello! Great vid! I would love to hear your perspective on this (if it has changed) since the pandemic. I feel like we're in a job market now, where employers may have taken a financial hit, so they may be expecting existing employees to take on more responsibilities for the same pay. ...And potential employees want to get paid what their worth, but may not be able to take those chances. Thanks!
Can you do a video about the "corporate payscales like G1 and H5 or whatever" that you mention around 9 minutes? I'd never heard of those before and it really peaked my curiosity!
Thank you for the great tips. I have a benefits and compensation conversation coming up this week for an opportunity that I am pursuing. I have held off on providing a number. I’ll use your tips to evaluate the offer and counter accordingly. Let’s see how I do.
Hi Andrew. I really love your videos. Thanks a lot for posting! OMG OMG OMG. I´m almost nine months unemployed and when, I finally got a job interview for an amazing worldwide company, I did the first mistake: they asked my salary expectation and I answered because I has so nervous 😒 What should I do now If I get a job offer????? Is there a way to fix that????? OMG OMG OMG.
Rodrigo, first, breathe my man! LOL. It's okay. When you DO get to the offer stage, just ask them to make a fair offer. Then, counter offer. If they say, well, that's within the number you gave us, just say you've now had a better chance to see how the value you will bring will help them and reviewed the vacation, benefits, etc.....and want this much more!
I swear every job doubt I have, the first thing I do is go to your YT channel and look for a video! Quick question, I already passed my interview and Im waiting on HR to send me my paperwork for a Part time job. I already have a bachelors degree since December and the previous supervisor (got a higher role) said I might get a higher salary but my current supervisor doesn't know about it yet. Any tips on how I could mention my salary to him?
I got one job offer from a very famous company. But their offer was way below than both industry level and my worth. I made a counter offer but no reply then. Actually they liked me a lot, and process was very quick. I believed to got super offer. I don't know what went wrong.
Hi Andrew, Thanks for making your monumentally helpful videos. I am happy to say that I found your information on resumes and cover letters. Now on to my question? Many online profiles that are mandated require that you enter a salary expectation. Many times the opportunity is fabulous but the process enforces standardization and thus it will not let you bypass the money question? Any advice? Thanks, Gary
Hey Jackson, I would check out a few on How to Get Promoted Using this Resume Building Tool and also my reflect your way to success videos. There are aspects in there to gather the data to support your arguments for getting promoted. I have more, but it's inside my (premium) Career Accelerator Program.
Thank you Andrew , I just received an offer today by the the HR after three interviews ( last one with the president) . The offer is very lower than what I’m expecting. The hr scheduled to call me back next Monday. How should I communicate with her ? Appreciate your help.
Thanks for the tips Andrew, you really know how to boost a job seeker's confidence without feeling like an impostor. I'm looking forward to starting your bootcamp. PS: Was than ice lemon water or a 'shaken-not-stirred' Bond beverage?
Hello thanks for the great content. I made a mistake and gave the recruiter a range on the first call. Now I got a second interview. Can I change what I said after they offered me the job based on the factors you mentioned?
I just accepted a job that was going to pay me $22 the hour. I said my skills in the field are a bit rusty let's do $20. That was 2 weeks ago. I'm filling in this comment in order to update next year
I wish this video popped up earlier in my recommended. I already signed a conditional job offer. Not sure if I should even try negotiating when they send a formal job offer for signing.
Andrew- I received a job offer through email yesterday But the pay was not discussed and I was afraid to ask. there is a salary range in the job post. What should I do to know exactly what I’m going to be paid ??
I feel like when giving my resume to a place I'm interested in working, I don't think it's any of their business where I actually am currently working. Because they can use that information to call the place I work and get information about me that could be false. I have often wondered about keeping the company name off my resume if I'm still employed there and I wonder how the company I'm interested in working at would respond to that. I'm happy to prove that I'm currently employed by showing some information on pay stubs. But ultimately, these days, there isn't much friendly or honesty in business. So, I don't think companies should be allowed to discuss my business behind my back during negotiation.
@@andylacivita Suuuuuuurrrrrrre. Why wouldn't they ? They will want a reference. Do you think dishonest talent acquisition personnel who will sell their mom's kidney to shave $0.05 off their companies bottom line will not take every opportunity to gather as much information as possible to use against said potential new hire ? They have no problem paying people a salary that will not put a roof over someone's head and they feel zero guilt. So why wouldn't they call their employer ? They don't need to actually know who I am working for. ALL they need to know is what my job duties and responsibilities are so they know where my experience is at. AND they need proof that what I'm claiming is true which can be proven through asking questions. And I would offer pay stubs with my companies name trimmed off. That should suffice and seems fair and reasonable. Recall: When the rich rob the poor it's called BUSINESS. When the poor fight back it's called violence.
Hello Andrew! Thank you for the video! I am a recent graduate and I just had a phone interview with a HR recruiter from a company. I wasn't expecting for the recruiter to ask me about a salary so early; however, due to lack of experience, I gave a number a lot lower than what the job actually pays. For example, I asked for 52k and the jobs pays 58k. on average. However, they have asked for at least 1 year of experience and I have 2 because I took many internships. Do you have any advice for making the greats sin according to this video? Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you!
Should I negotiate if the employer met the lower end of my pay range that I mentioned to them? I would like to get the higher end of the pay range, of course. It’s more than I made at my prior position but I I’m not sure that it’s appropriate for me to ask for more since I already accepted their offer with out negotiating. I wish I had seen this sooner!
What if I already said it:( They offered me a bit more than I asked for in the beginning. Now I think what if I said less than they were planning. Because they offered me the job really so quickly. Was it because they really loved me or because my pay was lower to them.
Thanks some great stuff in there. Just a bit of devil's advocate as I am a very experienced recruiter and negotiator as well. My following comments DO NOT apply at positions where the disparity is between, lets's say, an offer that is 48k and you want 50k. Then I agree 100% don't sweat the money at all early on. But in positions that are higher in salary you must have a conversation about GENERAL "ALIGNMENT" early in the process. Recruiters working on a position DO know GENERAL comp and where it is lIKELY to fall--again, within a range; not definitively. They are armed with this so they don't waste time of the Hiring Managers by presenting people not in line with what the company has budgeted. If a candidate is a rock star, there usually will be some movement to accommodate, but in reality--nowadays-the recruiter is tasked with knowing about the position intimately including RANGE of comp and only presenting people close to the range with a more expensive candidate thrown in at a higher number if they walk on water. GREAT vid. and thank you for your terrific insights into our world....
Kenny, I certainly see your perspective, but personally handling several hundred of these interactions, I know that MOST of the time, there is always more. I just coached a woman who the company communicated was $75 above their highest pay target. They had the interviews and over the course of the 8 weeks, continued to tell her this. They gave her the offer. Continued to tell her this. I gave her the script. The recruiter went back to the HO and they magically came up with the money. The simply borrowed it from other areas. Like magic.
Im about to receive an offer but its abit lower than what I was hoping, issue is I have been out of work for 9 months and its an employer market right now. I have seen stories of people having offers rescinded because they just wanted to discuss the compensation... I think later down the line ~6 months in or when probation ends I can have that conversation much easier, thoughts?
Hey Andy. I’m a new subscriber and Im lovin’ your videos. I would like to know what to do if i already gave a range about the salary and they are paying more. What can i do at this point to fix it. Im getting the offer on monday?
Would bringing up the average age in a profession be a bargaining chip to bring to the table? The average age in my trade is 47 and I'm 20 years younger that that average with a decade of experience.
Hi Andrew, I made my first mistake of telling exact no in first interview but even worse I hesitated to ask what I want. I know that Job Offer pays a lot more (at least 2-3 times more) than what I had asked for. I have applied for remote job(USA) and would be working from India. Should I ask them for more right away OR should I ask in the end. If I ask in the end then it will look like I have changed my words. Is there any way to ask recruiter for industry standard for that job post? Is there any difference in salary if we are working at different locations but with same Job role.
I would like to run a specific case with you, about not giving a number. I am looking for a job as a new lawyer in Israel. I know the range for big law, and I know what number I will be happy with, and what number is my lowest (looking for a small firm). Finding jobs offer in Israel is by using 2 companies that provid job offer (you have to put a number), but you can't know which firm posted the job until they call. Now, its important to me to work certion hours, and also to get paid high (I am older then most new lawyer - I am 31). Not writing a number will probably get me a lot more interviews, but can be a waste of my time. I just started my search, and got a few interviews lined up. In my situation, will you still recommend not to write a number and the hours?
Good Day Sir! I have a final interview tomorrow but today I've watch your video and I'm frozen to know that i shouldn't give any amount of my expected salary but I've already did i give numbers on my initial interview and up to my second interview now i wonder why they still called me to attend my final interview can you please give me a tip on how I'm going to answer tomorrow if they ask me again regarding my expected salary since i already gave it thank you!
Im in a situation where in pre screening interview recruiter asked me the salary and i was not expecting the question that early and i really want the job so gave them a range and later when i checked their range for this senior position is way more.Now next round of interview is this wk with hiring manager and i am thinking how i am going to negotiate on what I initially told them.Very nervous.Thanks
Crap, I broke rule number one...I discussed money the first interview...now an offer is pending and I need a higher starting salary. Housing is outrageous where the job is....how do I negotiate now??

Do you have any tips on how to negotiate salary raises once you've worked with a company for a while?
You need to find a different job if you want a substantial increase.
Be upfront and tell them what you have to offer. Ask the recruiter what essential skills the company is looking for. Don't ask for an amount, instead ask them what they think you are worth and make you an offer ; )

I told him - “there must be more to talk about as far as total compensation goes. I made a lot more doing the same thing when I left the previous employer.”
I had the interview on Friday - curious to see if they make an offer and studying how to handle it.
Good luck👊👊
??? This video is THE BOMB! Thanks, Andy. 'It's money time' for me at the moment. After having no less than 5 interviews with this company (I'm an EA) and no-one bringing up compensation, they emailed me (we're in different time zones) asking what my expectations are. I will be using these amazing tips! I still have a few questions on what my day-to-day would be like, given the time zone thing. At what point should I bring that up/how would you suggest I approach it??? Big hugs from Spain :)
Love it! Glad the tips helped. On the question, I would try to get that info early in the process. It’s a straightforward question, especially considering the time zone difference. Go get ‘em!
@@andylacivita Thanks Andy, I plan to 'go get 'em'! All 5 interviews were with different people and only 20 minutes a pop so I didn't get to ask many questions. In response to their question on salary expectations, I essentially said 'I look at compensation holistically, send me the offer and I'll consider it and get back to you'. I intend to ask for some time to discuss the compensation so could bring up my schedule then. Thanks again, you're a legend and I have told SO MANY friends and family about your channel :)
Andyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! They made me an offer :) I wasn't crazy about it so I followed your advice and asked for a time to speak. We spoke, a few days later they sent me a revised offer - with no less than a 33% increase on the base salary BABY!!!! Huge thanks to you and your team for all of your help, guidance and wisdom! Once I get a little capital behind me I plan to join the boot camp :D
6 months ago your consultation landed me a senior position at the Dept of Urban Development in San Francisco. A Federal position. I'm white, though my qualifications were a perfect fit. My odds were Zero. Phone interview 1, They liked me. Phone interview 2+3 nailed it. Not only did I get the slot, I up'd my income GS11/7 start which in SF is $102k.
I've outperformed and I'm worth GS12. You're the person to get the notepad out and clock that paper. Let's face it making money and getting undervalued is unjust. There needs to be some level of equanimity. Get paid what your worth, or leave. That's exactly what you did for me. You instill the confidence of a savvy corporate professional. Thank you sir.
You’re so welcome James. So glad to hear it!! 👍🤜👊🤛
You are like voice of god in my life right now thank you
Glad I can help!!
Brilliant, ...thank you, so glad I came across this particular video of yours. Thank you!!
You’re so welcome!!
Thank you so much , very good info . Best regards
You’re welcome again!!
Hello! Great vid! I would love to hear your perspective on this (if it has changed) since the pandemic. I feel like we're in a job market now, where employers may have taken a financial hit, so they may be expecting existing employees to take on more responsibilities for the same pay.
...And potential employees want to get paid what their worth, but may not be able to take those chances.
Thanks!
Haley. Yes, some companies have taken a hot with the pandemic but this doesn’t change my opinion or approach on getting paid what you’re worth!!
Fantastic approach loved it !
Glad you liked it Sunil!
I wish we could put a list of your bills on our resume . That way they would know how much you need. Would save everyone time.
16:28 - "there are times you should not counter, it will be insulting" - you didn't mention examples, can you tell or is there video? thanks
If it’s super high and you almost gasped when you heard the number. If you didn’t gasp, then negotiate!
Can you do a video about the "corporate payscales like G1 and H5 or whatever" that you mention around 9 minutes? I'd never heard of those before and it really peaked my curiosity!
You're amazing!
Tina Ahuja thanks Tina and you’re quite fabulous too for saying those kind words!!
Thank you for the great tips. I have a benefits and compensation conversation coming up this week for an opportunity that I am pursuing. I have held off on providing a number. I’ll use your tips to evaluate the offer and counter accordingly. Let’s see how I do.
Good luck!!!
Hi Andrew. I really love your videos. Thanks a lot for posting! OMG OMG OMG. I´m almost nine months unemployed and when, I finally got a job interview for an amazing worldwide company, I did the first mistake: they asked my salary expectation and I answered because I has so nervous 😒 What should I do now If I get a job offer????? Is there a way to fix that????? OMG OMG OMG.
Rodrigo, first, breathe my man! LOL. It's okay. When you DO get to the offer stage, just ask them to make a fair offer. Then, counter offer. If they say, well, that's within the number you gave us, just say you've now had a better chance to see how the value you will bring will help them and reviewed the vacation, benefits, etc.....and want this much more!
@@andylacivita Thank you so much! Will follow your hints, for sure. 😁🙏👍
I swear every job doubt I have, the first thing I do is go to your YT channel and look for a video! Quick question, I already passed my interview and Im waiting on HR to send me my paperwork for a Part time job. I already have a bachelors degree since December and the previous supervisor (got a higher role) said I might get a higher salary but my current supervisor doesn't know about it yet. Any tips on how I could mention my salary to him?
Very helpful thanks so much!
You’re so welcome Anita!
I got one job offer from a very famous company. But their offer was way below than both industry level and my worth. I made a counter offer but no reply then.
Actually they liked me a lot, and process was very quick. I believed to got super offer. I don't know what went wrong.
I’m not sure why they wouldn’t reply Tunca. Seems odd to me!!
Great ideas and worth trying...
Thanks Richenel!
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for making your monumentally helpful videos. I am happy to say that I found your information on resumes and cover letters.
Now on to my question? Many online profiles that are mandated require that you enter a salary expectation. Many times the opportunity is fabulous but the process enforces standardization and thus it will not let you bypass the money question? Any advice?
Thanks,
Gary
Don't you have a video for getting a raise, after a few years of working somewhere? Your videos are great and a game changer.
Hey Jackson, I would check out a few on How to Get Promoted Using this Resume Building Tool and also my reflect your way to success videos. There are aspects in there to gather the data to support your arguments for getting promoted. I have more, but it's inside my (premium) Career Accelerator Program.
BTW, we're going to be having more videos on this topic too.
Man you are the best!
Appreciate that Hassan!!
Thank you Andrew , I just received an offer today by the the HR after three interviews ( last one with the president) . The offer is very lower than what I’m expecting. The hr scheduled to call me back next Monday. How should I communicate with her ?
Appreciate your help.
I have a video that can help. Search my RUclips for the video, How to Negotiate a Lowball Salary Offer. Good luck!
Golden advice!!
Thank you Wayne! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tips Andrew, you really know how to boost a job seeker's confidence without feeling like an impostor. I'm looking forward to starting your bootcamp. PS: Was than ice lemon water or a 'shaken-not-stirred' Bond beverage?
LOL! Love it Jorge!!
Sir... you are just terrific!!
Thank YOU!!
Thank you so much, it is very good information, Best Regards.
You’re welcome!!
Thank you.Any suggestions on shadowing, things to ask/ observe/do?
Apart from other things I like the light! How could you manage to get it this bright positioned the camera against the Sun!
Andy, again, thanks for so valuable advice
You’re so welcome!!
Hello thanks for the great content. I made a mistake and gave the recruiter a range on the first call. Now I got a second interview. Can I change what I said after they offered me the job based on the factors you mentioned?
It’s okay Fatemeh. You can still negotiate!
I just accepted a job that was going to pay me $22 the hour. I said my skills in the field are a bit rusty let's do $20. That was 2 weeks ago. I'm filling in this comment in order to update next year
I wish this video popped up earlier in my recommended. I already signed a conditional job offer. Not sure if I should even try negotiating when they send a formal job offer for signing.
If you didn’t receive the full offer the first, you can counter offer based on “new” information.
@@andylacivita Sounds good. Thanks for responding!
You are worth what you can get someone to pay you.
Interesting thought.
There was a suggestion on another site about asking what the salary band is up front to not waste your time and theirs. What do you think about this?
I’m not sure what site that was but I would avoid that.
“Hey, this is it man, this is the last nickel in the coffee jar.”
Im dead 😂😂😂😂💀💀
😆
Andrew- I received a job offer through email yesterday But the pay was not discussed and I was afraid to ask. there is a salary range in the job post. What should I do to know exactly what I’m going to be paid ??
Chel. Honestly, I would call them!!!!
Sad. I missed watching this video before my final interview last night.
It’s okay. You got this.
@@andylacivita Waiting for the job offer. Will use your strategies even if I gave them an exact figure. Followed you in LinkedIn.
I feel like when giving my resume to a place I'm interested in working, I don't think it's any of their business where I actually am currently working. Because they can use that information to call the place I work and get information about me that could be false. I have often wondered about keeping the company name off my resume if I'm still employed there and I wonder how the company I'm interested in working at would respond to that. I'm happy to prove that I'm currently employed by showing some information on pay stubs. But ultimately, these days, there isn't much friendly or honesty in business. So, I don't think companies should be allowed to discuss my business behind my back during negotiation.
They won’t call your current employer.
@@andylacivita Suuuuuuurrrrrrre. Why wouldn't they ? They will want a reference. Do you think dishonest talent acquisition personnel who will sell their mom's kidney to shave $0.05 off their companies bottom line will not take every opportunity to gather as much information as possible to use against said potential new hire ? They have no problem paying people a salary that will not put a roof over someone's head and they feel zero guilt. So why wouldn't they call their employer ?
They don't need to actually know who I am working for. ALL they need to know is what my job duties and responsibilities are so they know where my experience is at. AND they need proof that what I'm claiming is true which can be proven through asking questions. And I would offer pay stubs with my companies name trimmed off. That should suffice and seems fair and reasonable.
Recall: When the rich rob the poor it's called BUSINESS. When the poor fight back it's called violence.
Do recent grads have the right to negotiate salaries?
MY GRIL yes. Final answer. :)
Yes especially when u have done an internship
What happens if they say i don't want to waste your time or ours. So what will you be be requiring
It is better if in the beginning you already know the salary that they can offer because it is a waste of time going to the process
No. It’s better to go in and show them why you need to get pad commensurate with the value you’ll provide. Companies will pay more if they get more.
Hello Andrew! Thank you for the video! I am a recent graduate and I just had a phone interview with a HR recruiter from a company. I wasn't expecting for the recruiter to ask me about a salary so early; however, due to lack of experience, I gave a number a lot lower than what the job actually pays. For example, I asked for 52k and the jobs pays 58k. on average. However, they have asked for at least 1 year of experience and I have 2 because I took many internships.
Do you have any advice for making the greats sin according to this video? Any feedback would be helpful.
Thank you!
um my curent salary is around 60k a year most local places would threow that out instantly.
Keep at it!!
Should I negotiate if the employer met the lower end of my pay range that I mentioned to them? I would like to get the higher end of the pay range, of course. It’s more than I made at my prior position but I I’m not sure that it’s appropriate for me to ask for more since I already accepted their offer with out negotiating. I wish I had seen this sooner!
Yes. Negotiate. 100%
@@andylacivita Even thought I already accepted the offer? I have not signed the contract yet.
What if I already said it:( They offered me a bit more than I asked for in the beginning. Now I think what if I said less than they were planning. Because they offered me the job really so quickly. Was it because they really loved me or because my pay was lower to them.
I'm not sure Laila because there are so many different factors. The great news is you got the job!
Thanks some great stuff in there. Just a bit of devil's advocate as I am a very experienced recruiter and negotiator as well. My following comments DO NOT apply at positions where the disparity is between, lets's say, an offer that is 48k and you want 50k. Then I agree 100% don't sweat the money at all early on. But in positions that are higher in salary you must have a conversation about GENERAL "ALIGNMENT" early in the process. Recruiters working on a position DO know GENERAL comp and where it is lIKELY to fall--again, within a range; not definitively. They are armed with this so they don't waste time of the Hiring Managers by presenting people not in line with what the company has budgeted. If a candidate is a rock star, there usually will be some movement to accommodate, but in reality--nowadays-the recruiter is tasked with knowing about the position intimately including RANGE of comp and only presenting people close to the range with a more expensive candidate thrown in at a higher number if they walk on water. GREAT vid. and thank you for your terrific insights into our world....
Kenny, I certainly see your perspective, but personally handling several hundred of these interactions, I know that MOST of the time, there is always more. I just coached a woman who the company communicated was $75 above their highest pay target. They had the interviews and over the course of the 8 weeks, continued to tell her this. They gave her the offer. Continued to tell her this. I gave her the script. The recruiter went back to the HO and they magically came up with the money. The simply borrowed it from other areas. Like magic.
Great advice! I’m just not sure I understood the last part. Do you recommend always counteroffering or no?
Counter always unless the offer completely blows you away!!
Im about to receive an offer but its abit lower than what I was hoping, issue is I have been out of work for 9 months and its an employer market right now. I have seen stories of people having offers rescinded because they just wanted to discuss the compensation... I think later down the line ~6 months in or when probation ends I can have that conversation much easier, thoughts?
Hey Andy. I’m a new subscriber and Im lovin’ your videos. I would like to know what to do if i already gave a range about the salary and they are paying more. What can i do at this point to fix it. Im getting the offer on monday?
Just make sure to counteroffer when you get it. You’ll have new information once they present it to you!
Would bringing up the average age in a profession be a bargaining chip to bring to the table?
The average age in my trade is 47 and I'm 20 years younger that that average with a decade of experience.
I would avoid any commentary on age whether you’re younger or older.
towards the end of this video during #4, the company ends up sounding like a company that I wouldn't want to even work for.
True.
Can you please share downloadable link of the journal please? Thanks .
🙌🏾 You’re AWESOME!!!! THX
Thanks for that Jamie!!
Hi Andrew,
I made my first mistake of telling exact no in first interview but even worse I hesitated to ask what I want. I know that Job Offer pays a lot more (at least 2-3 times more) than what I had asked for. I have applied for remote job(USA) and would be working from India. Should I ask them for more right away OR should I ask in the end. If I ask in the end then it will look like I have changed my words. Is there any way to ask recruiter for industry standard for that job post? Is there any difference in salary if we are working at different locations but with same Job role.
Negotiate at the end!!
What if they give you one. I just interviewed and they said, “ok this position pays $16-$19” then what?
Then keep interviewing and wow them and negotiate for $19 or more!
nice video!! looking for a salary raise negotiations. Will check your channel and already subscribed!! Thanks!!
Thank you and thanks for the sub! 👍
Great tips - you're so experienced! Love your point about not offering a number upfront as well as all your video of course!! Deirdre. X
Thank you so much Deirdre! Appreciate those kind remarks!
I would like to run a specific case with you, about not giving a number.
I am looking for a job as a new lawyer in Israel.
I know the range for big law, and I know what number I will be happy with, and what number is my lowest (looking for a small firm).
Finding jobs offer in Israel is by using 2 companies that provid job offer (you have to put a number), but you can't know which firm posted the job until they call.
Now, its important to me to work certion hours, and also to get paid high (I am older then most new lawyer - I am 31).
Not writing a number will probably get me a lot more interviews, but can be a waste of my time.
I just started my search, and got a few interviews lined up.
In my situation, will you still recommend not to write a number and the hours?
Good Day Sir! I have a final interview tomorrow but today I've watch your video and I'm frozen to know that i shouldn't give any amount of my expected salary but I've already did i give numbers on my initial interview and up to my second interview now i wonder why they still called me to attend my final interview can you please give me a tip on how I'm going to answer tomorrow if they ask me again regarding my expected salary since i already gave it thank you!
Im in a situation where in pre screening interview recruiter asked me the salary and i was not expecting the question that early and i really want the job so gave them a range and later when i checked their range for this senior position is way more.Now next round of interview is this wk with hiring manager and i am thinking how i am going to negotiate on what I initially told them.Very nervous.Thanks
Don’t worry. Wow them and you can always counteroffer at the end.
If I may ask how much is a general manager in retail salary in wisconsin
Crap, I broke rule number one...I discussed money the first interview...now an offer is pending and I need a higher starting salary. Housing is outrageous where the job is....how do I negotiate now??
It's okay you can recover. As you move into the process you learn more about what the job really entails. Lean on that and demonstrate your value.
