Negotiating after being told "no movement?"
in 9 to 5
I don't have an official job offer yet, so this may be moot. However, I had a second interview yesterday and was told based on my years of experience (4.5) that my salary would be X if they offered me the job. The HR rep then took me by surprise by using the buzz words "It's a strict scale. There really is no room for movement."
Well the salary was heinously low, though I realize it's an academic setting, and I have to readjust my expectations. However, I want to make sure I get the max out of them, even if it's still lower than what I wanted. Assuming I get an official offer, and it's the number she gave me, what's my best angle, knowing they're not planning on budging? Thanks!
Re: Negotiating after being told "no movement?"
I've been in the position where we could only offer X amount and had to lose good candidates for it. It's tough, but there's only so much you can do and from what you said it it sounds like they can't really be open for negotiation.
As others have said you can always try, and you can always talk about benefits or other job perks. I personally feel that there is no harm in asking. If they're to a point that they want to hire you, I can't imagine they'd rescind the offer because you asked.
