Great advice. Any advice on negotiating a job offer for a fully remote position when the company is based in a less inexpensive area (Atlanta) but you live in a more expensive area (Boston area) ? The median salary for the job is $19K higher in my area vs. the company’s headquarters. Thanks.
Thank you so much for watching and reaching out. This is a bit tricky but the same rules apply. Looks like you have done your research and you can see the discrepancies in salaries offered. This is where you can explore if there is room to negotiate salary to make up the difference. There may be room so it is worth the ask. As this is remote work they may simply say "Where you live is a you problem and not our concern." I jest that they would be that direct but they could take that position. If salary is non-negotiable then look at other job perks/benefits additional vacation time, bonuses, allowances that can offset salary. Although these are not directly dollars in your pocket, it does all equal a total compensation amount that has an impact on you financially. Finally, be clear in your own mind what the savings are from working remotely. Travel, gas, parking, stress etc. are all savings for you. So even if there is no room to move on the salary or benefit side of things, the remote work alone may be worth a lesser salary. Work life balance is an important thing! I hope all that helps. Please let me know what you end up doing. All the best. Clark
Ive been working as a temp employee through an agency since March. I was offered the job on a permanent basis in April (verbally) and I got the offered in writing May. I declined and countered. They came back on Friday with a better title and a 15k bump BUT its still LESS then what Im making now with the temp agency!! 😢 Look, they have high interest in me and I love the job but a 10k hit - I just cant take. This is now our second time coming to the table and im so confused as to what I should even do….
This is definitely a challenging situation. The good news is they clearly want you in their organization which is always a great place to be. My advice is at this point, you have been in their recruiting process for several months and your counter has led to a better job title and offer. However, it is not meeting your expectations for salary. You will need to be honest with them regarding your salary expectations. If they cannot meet them, then it may be time to move on. Thank them respectfully for their time and effort if you decline as you never know what may come from this interaction down the road. Good luck and please let me know the outcome!
Hi, Thanks for the useful video I have a question I am based out of India. So basically I got a job offer from Comp A which has less fixed component and more into variable pay and stocks Later I got an offer from Comp B which provided me more fixed money as they don't have stock options. But I still wish to join Comp A as they have good benefits. How do I negotiate with Comp A to increase the fixed pay ? But my worry is Comp A will not have budget to match the other offer . So I am much skeptical on how to face this ? PS: both are Product based comp
Thanks for the comments and reaching out to me on LinkedIn. The approach is knowing what the market rates are for similar positions in this industry and then making a counter offer based on your research and what your experience brings to the role. Be polite and professional with your counter-offer. If they say they can't move on salary then you will have to decide which company has the best total compensation package for you. I hope that helps.
Interesting analysis !! Could you suggest better ways- if making big money in corporate world as engineer or in general is the only goal which path is the most suitable to adopt and how like earning promotions quicker, climbing ladder etc or remaining in same position ? Also how is it possible for me in initial stage of career to demand promotions or high pay after 6 months or a year by solving any of their major problems.. does any books on creativity or innovation thinking examples work drastically well in advancing rapid growth..
This is just my advice and others may disagree. In the early stages of your career focus on gaining experience and work that builds your ability to be creative, innovative and solve major organizational issues. This may come at the expense of a quick promotion but the experience you gain in your profession will make you highly desirable to your current and future employers and with this, will come far greater promotions and higher paying positions. Experience is massive in accelerating your career. Be patient, strategic and good things will come.😀
@@clarkglassford9200 Insightful tips 😊 Could you also tell - How to brag better (self advocacy) about myself when i don't have work experience in a positive way but create impact during interview with some examples so that it can lead to high salary.. which books would help in this scenario ..
