Negotiations...
I know that this board and the MM board are big advocates of the "always negotiate!" philosophy. But...
I just received a job offer from another company and I am absolutely thrilled with it. The salary is 25% higher than my current salary, and according to the job description, I will have slightly fewer responsibilities. PTO is the same (20 days) and 401k is similar.
A few other factors: according to a few online resources, the salary offered is in the top range for my field. There seems to be a high demand for my position, at least in my area.
Should I still negotiate? Even if I were to negotiate, how would I justify asking for more, when it seems like what they're offering me is more than fair?
Re: Negotiations...
I don't think you have to negotiate if you are perfectly happy with the offer.
I have negotiated salary and telecommuting in a prior job but when I broached this for my current position I was turned down flat. So it doesn't always work anyway if the offer is sweet in the first place (and mine was pretty decent).
Yes. Always negotiate. What if they do value you more? You could save extra for retirement, get flexible hours, work from home, etc.
I work in a client service industry, so work is SUPER fast paced and fast turnaround time is crucial. I don't think there's any way they would let me telecommute, and anyway, the office is only 5 minutes away from my house, so that's not really something I need or desire.
So if I were to negotiate for more...how do I even bring it up? What should I say, exactly? I've tried this with previous jobs and it has backfired...my current company doesn't negotiate at all, and a company that I interviewed with in the past not only refused to negotiate, but chastised me for it and told me that they'd rather have a candidate who's "not just in it for the money."
The weird thing is, the new company didn't even talk salary with me before the offer, so it was a total shock to me when I received it.
Just say that you would like to see x dollar amount based on y reason (experience, licenses, etc). Keep it reasonable. Like ten percent. They might immediately say no, at which point ask to negotiate non monetary like vacation. They might say no again. I would stop at this point. My company said they do not negotiate when I asked, but they kept it in my file that I tried to negotiate. So when I tried to quit, they counter offered based on my negotiation. Moral is, it might not matter today, but it might matter in a few months. And this would apply to PTO or anything else you tried to negotiate.
