By watching your videos (about 8 of them) during my job change, I was able to 1. Get the offers I wanted 2. Negotiated $23,000 more than the original offer and 3. Nailed the interview (selected from 200 applicants) Thank you!!!! you have a wealth of knowledge!! Can’t imagine how successful your students must be in taking your courses. Much appreciated
I stayed at the same company for 30 years, lots of peers jumped ship for a nice raise, but after thirty years I was making more than all of them plus when I retired I had lots of vested benefits. Pension, 401k, retiree medical care. Gotta think long term, don't jump ship for a few extra bucks, jump ship for a better long term opportunity.
@@ppumpkin3282 sure thing but sometimes one have to think about where the company is heading. For example if the company is expanding operations overseas or another part of the country whereas the same time new not investing on new equipment/infrastructure as well as carrying out " restructuring" on the the site that you work. If there signs are there it's better to "jump ship" if there is other good opportunities then waiting for it to hit the iceberg.
I'm ready to jump ship again. Been with the company for 5 years, I left for 4 months and the new company lied to me so I'm back with the first company. I cant stand it but I'm good at it and I have to make money
Iv'e come into an office where I was the highest paid employee by far. The President let me know that. In the end it worked against me. They expected me to pull rabbits out of the hat, perform magic on a daily basis. Not the position one wants to be in necessarily. I was let go after 2 years.
Yes. If you feel like you're being overpaid, most likely, they expect you to perform far better than you're capable of, which increases your chances of being fired.
@@andylacivita I got an offer on Friday afternoon for 5pm; I want $2k more and their benefits are really not what I have right now. I really want to write to them before my decision date which is next coming Friday so see if they are willing to go up to $2k.
I'd recommend doing exactly what he is saying and listen carefully to the message in this video. I just landed my first six-figure salary because of that. You are a genius, Andrew! THANK YOU!
Thank you so much. I followed your interview tips and secured an offer that doubled my salary with bonus. Then I followed your negotiation techniques and got 3 weeks vacations. Your information is priceless.
Congratulations- curious did you negotiate 3 weeks vacation in addition to paid time off offered by the company ? Or just 3 paid vacation since the company did not provide vacation?
Being a woman in the workplace, these videos have really helped me realize that how valuable of an asset I am to this current team I’m working with. I wish more recruiters were able to be as authentic and real as you are. I’ve been dealing with a communication gap with my employers and you’ve helped me stick up for myself and ask for what I need. I want to make this work and care about this team tremendously. I have an annual review in just a few hours and I feel like you’re my coach amping me up for a marathon! I’m crossing my fingers for a 10%-15% raise. Wish me luck!!!
Go get em Taylor!! And, please please please comment back on how it goes!! Also, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but I have a monthly leadership coaching program (it’s a modest monthly subscription or an even less expensive annual subscription). If you reach a point where you want more ongoing support, check it out. I also provide my full career accelerator program as a bonus to the leaders. That program includes detailed lessons in planning for and executing on your promotion. It’s an amazing program. You can check it out here: www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-leadership-monthly-live. Either way, let me know how your discussion goes! Good luck!!🍀👍
First time in my life that I had to prepare for an Interview. I’m 44 in a very competitive industry. It felt like my last chance. Between you , (and other content creators ) I passed 3 hard interviews back to back and got the job. Thank you and everything you do.
Saying what I have as paycheck would destroy my chances to get a decent salary. I have an incredible low salary in my current job because I have been there my last 13 years.
Video summary: 1. Do not talk salary at the beginning of the interview process. 2. Both parties compromise. More money comes at a cost. 3. Think of the full "package" - environment, certainty, role. Don't give up a good package for a few dollars. 4. You are a team. Both win if u accept the job. Both lose if you don't because all the time spent in the process ia wasted. 5. Be flexible and open minded. If you want the job but aren't quite there yet because of the salary communicate these 6 golden words to start with: I want to make this work. So trade salary with vacation days stocks, benefits. 6. Take your time but be quick. Reply verbally not in email.
Reply verbally is boomer logic. You're just asking for a recruiter to misconstrue your words to the hiring manager instead of simply forwarding your counter offer.
@@Qwonk Yes, in another video the recruiter said to reply how the company made the offer. This makes sense to me. Also, it’s easier to track communication via email. The company that just hired me asked me to specifically send any questions via email.
Don't tell them how much you make currently cos they may offer you something very little from your current pay. Why should a company's decision to hire me be based on what i currently make.
Worse thing any candidate can say is how much they make. The person that says the first number loses! Bad tip at the beginning but tips get better later.
@@Lalalalalelo Not really, thinking of it that way is quite flawed. It's not about winning or losing its about coming to an understanding. That's why he's saying to make it work or compromise.
I once doubled my income by careful negotiations. Half of the job was doomed, so at least I got money out of it for a while. I also learned a lot, so no waste of time. Most importantly, when asked what I previously earned, I answered what I would need in the new (more expensive) city to at least equal the old position. I also said that for no noticeable improvement I wouldn't switch.
In the past I rushed into negotiations and ended up with roles and salaries I wasn't happy with. I took your advice and turned a job I wanted into a job offering almost a 50% increase on my previous wage plus equity and more holidays.
That's amazing! Was your employer was aware of your previous wage before they agreed to pay you that amount? I'm trying to pull off something similar myself.
Andrew, thanks to your TH-cam videos I wrote an ultimate resume, got noticed, had the interview and just got hired with a significant raise one step above my current title. You’re an excellent teacher and mentor. I’ve learned so much from your success. Thank you so much! God bless.
I disagree that I should disclose what I am currently making especially if the job should pay a lot more. Isn't that the purpose of leaving one job? For a better job? If I tell them what I am currently making, I am giving them the opportunity to lowball me and even if I negotiate a higher salary, it won't be as high as what I could have gotten. I do however, love the six words: I want to make this work. Solid advice!
I like very much the mentality of compromise and the sentence - "I know more money is always better, but sometimes it comes at a cost", it's beyond salary negotiation, valid for many negotiations.
I should've watched this video prior to my interview. I've stated an amount and found out that I can get paid a lot more. I am trying to get my words and confidence together to negotiate the pay before I actually accept the job.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video gave me the confidence to, for the first time in my life, negotiate a salary instead of simply accepting what was offered. I received 6k more, plus all the perks I requested. You. Are. Awesome!
Hi Andrew, one to time l had a phone interview from a HR Manager. The very first question she asked me was "What is your Salary expectation?" . To which l said " ..l would be more then happy to negotiate on the figure". Then it went quite for 3 second from which she replied ".....anyway thanks for showing interest in this particular role and we would get in touch with you in the near future" Then she ended the call!. Very unprofessional indeed!
yeah that sounds like an employer who don't care much about their employees. When things go sour like that, I always say "it wasn't for me because something better is coming my way"
I have that with these foreign/international recruiters that ask how much are you looking for after they ask me if I am available. Remember all these foreign recruiters want is to submit anyone for the job so it looks good on their Candidate Submission Report so ask them how much are other candidates asking and tell them it all depends on the client. They they always disclose how much they can pay.
Hey Andy, I've been following your channel for around 6 months now, and regularly watched your videos whenever a new opportunity came my way that I decided to explore. Your Interview Intervention book was so good that I bought it twice (because I lost the first copy somewhere in the house and needed the e-book at short notice last week to help me get through a second round interview). Your advice completely changed the way I went about the whole process and gave me an incredible amount of self-confidence and assurance during the whole process. Yesterday I had my final third round interview and today was told they are going to make me an offer for what is going to be big step forwards for me professionally and monetary (hence why I'm watching and commenting on this video hehe). Look, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for passing on your advice to others here and in your books. Every piece of advice given has been pure GOLD and served me well on my journey up to this point. I'm currently at a crossroads on what to do next with the pending offer, but your advice and tips have been a huge part of what got me here and again, I just wanted to say thank you! All the best, DC
What do you do when you list your salary range in the application, find out the job has more responsibilities than you realized, and you get the job. Is it too late or too risky to ask for more? Not to mention, I always feel like I under bid myself but this situation that I described has happened to me a few times and I think I just did it again.
Never say what you are currently earning. A lot of companies will just offer a tiny bit more than what you are making, which is not enough since you will have to move jobs and add a ton more stress for on-boarding into a new company especially in the IT field like programming,engineering ect. But if you have to leave your current employer then try and negotiate a higher salary only once it comes to an offer.
Thank you very much Andrew, your video helped me alot to grow my confidence and guess what, i recently applied for a job, got a call for interview 2 days after, after 3days, i got another call for salary negotiation, followed your principles and i go the job even above my salary expectation.... All these happened in less than 2 weeks. will start my new job by 2week of July. Thank you
Missing summary: - Not sales negotiation - you're not a sale. - Don't start with desired salary. You may provide your current salary. - Concessions on both side. - Communicate "I want to make this work". - Reply verbally a definitive date on job acceptance/rejection.
Hello! I have watched all your videos from interview tips to salary negotiations and I am happy to say I got a good offer in the end ! I was scared to counter offer but it was worth it! Thank you very much!
Wish me luck tomorrow I am definitely gonna go in starting off with these 6 words and that’s exactly how I want them to feel Welcome and not defensive.
Your advice is amazing, I applied it and got favorable results.. thank you so much especially everybody should watch writing another email to employer even after getting rejected.. I did and they called me back a month after offering another position exclusively to me before anyone else.. Again THANKS A TONNNE!!!!!!!
Thank you Andrew, very helpful. I have my MBA and this is my first salary negation. With your help and a little luck we will come to a mutual agreement we are both happy with!
Thanks for this. I responded with "I want to make this work" and I proceeded to pitch on why I'm the best at what I do. Got myself a 12% pay raise in six figure territory in a few minutes of email.
Just got a job offer and they asked for a pay range a few times. They asked it in the application, and in 2 seperate interviews. The good thing about this was that I shot up my pay range 10k over what I initially wanted and they were able to match that. I should have done way more!
“You never, ever talk about compensation at the beginning of the process.” Except about a third of the online applications ask for your salary expectations. A few I got through with n/a or 00000. But there’s systems out there that will force you to put in 45000 or 70000 or a “relevant number”. Sigh. Another thing I’ve run into quite a bit is the recruiter asking for your salary expectations during the first interview.
Felicia for sure. You’ve go to address the issues. Check out my live office hours titled why you don’t get paid what you deserve. I go into this much more deeply!
I agree 100%, I get that all the time. They ask what my salary expectations are without going in depth in the job description. I believe I asked around 70k for first job. But I just recently got hired for 75k for a second job and I accepted the offer. Now for the first job I want to raise it to 80k. From a thousand foot view that sounds bad. But now that I've talked to the first job in details, the responsibilities they want for me is almost close to a management position for I will be the only developer managing their systems. So I honestly feel like I should ask for 80k for the position. I was thinking about compromising in terms of skipping a few years worth of raises. But now I honestly don't want the job unless its 80k or more. Sorry for giving too much details but negotiating is not what I am good at. I honestly feel bad for continuing the interviews despite already being hired for the second job. But to me I feel its the name of the game. I can't really negotiate what I want if I don't have leverage. Even if I didn't get hired by the second job, I feel that the first job should still pay me 80k for the amount of responsibility I will take. But this is the type of negotiation I am going to give to them if they decide to hire me. I wont even mention the second job that hired me. If they are willing to take the offer I will just quit the second job that hired me.
I watched this video before appearing for salary negotiation. The tips are extremely helpful while talking to the employer. It opens up the new aspect for me for instance, flexible benefit, bonus package, travelling allowances, etc..
In 4 years when I graduate I’m gonna come back to this video. I’m currently in school for Computer Science. And when I get to the point of a interview. I’m coming back to this video trust me 😂.
I’m late to the party but I just completed an initial phone interview. Not only did they ask me how much I was looking for (I told them I would like to know more before making an uneducated estimate) but they also told me a what they planned to bring people on for. This kind of shook me and I mentioned how that might be out of my range. Still waiting for next steps but I’m wondering if I shot myself in the foot.
Thanks Andrew- I just used your tips to negotiate a 15% increase to the initial salary offer. That's quite a significant amount considering it's my second job but I backed up my negotiation with my good performance at my previous company. Although one of the keys to me succeeding was that I knew my skills and experience was unique and exactly what they wanted, and also they knew I was interviewing at a bigger company which was likely to offer higher pay. So I made sure they got that during the interview which probably explained why they were so willing to accept my counter offer. I'm in a field where people are generally underpaid, so getting an offer like that from a small company means a lot. And to think some people don't negotiate salary offers but love to bargain at the shops!
I love this video. I agree with 99% of what Andrew says except one point: After the employer makes you an offer and tells you what your base salary would be no financial packages involved anything else just your base salary... Using the line I'm "willing to work with you on salary" before you counter offer immediately sets you up mentally for a lower compromise. Your first counter is the most important counter offer of the whole negotiation. And whatever you're starting base salary for the company ultimately becomes will follow you until the end of your term. It's your best chance to go for all the money. So your first counter offer should be solid well thought out and stated with at with absolute conviction. After that when they counter offer your counter offer that's when you should play the "we're a team I'm willing to work with you" card.
I wouldn’t recommend saying “ I’m willing to work with you on salary” on a counter. I’d say, I’d like to make this work. and you are correct about the first counter.
Many companies just aren’t paying what they should. I turned down my first ever job offer after negotiations last year. They wouldn’t even budget one cent. I had mixed emotions. I’m hopefully going to negotiate again in the next few days with a different company and I really hope I can counter and we can get to a point where I accept what they offer.
I have an scheduled interview tomorrow. Your tips are powerful!!! I will definitely apply them. Now I can sleep well and relax my mind knowing that I am prepared because of your video guides!!! Thank you so much!!!
Always great advice that stands the test of time, Andy! I was asked about salary requirements in my phone interview recently. It was a brand new, never existed before position. Although I knew the advice not to answer specifically, I responded by telling them the research I had done in the industry and gave them a range a bit higher than the handful of people in this position in the industry. They responded by telling me they had not actually put a price tag on it yet and needed someone who could help them build it. They moved me on to the second interview, and I found out yesterday by a reputable source that they think I’m “perfect” for the role and have submitted me to the hiring committee. Remaining hopeful...
I'm hopeful too! Melissa, keep this in mind should the issue come up again. Even though most people think being paid is about being paid fairly relative to the market, it NEVER is. It should be about the value you uniquely bring as a unique candidate. Be above the market because you offer more. So, effectively, show them what you can do for them and tell them what that's worth!
Don't reveal your current, or last salary level, just you could say that - I want to learn more about the role I'm applying to, meet with the people at the company, and then I can get the full view of what this role is worth. Andrew is right that when we have our purpose, values related to work, and we see the organization we are passionate about its mission and what they are doing - financial part is only one aspect, we should look as well if the role would help us realise our passion, talents and gifts in the best way possible at the awesome company.
Thanks for the video. The only thing I’d push back on is sharing your salary at the beginning. I typically don’t do that as I don’t want it to be used against me. To me, the job I’m applying for is valued at what it is, regardless of what I was making before.
Andrew, thank you! I followed the tips from your videos such as questions and negations and was given an offer. They wouldn’t budge on salary BUT I was able to negotiate the benefits and got an additional 8k worth of benefits added that I otherwise would have not known about! When I told my friends and fam they were like: ‘you can negotiate benefits?!’ 😏 little do they know the magic of LaCivita!! Thanks a bunch! I have shared your info with them all!
Great to have you here Amber. If you need anything, type it in the search bar on my channel. I’ve literally covered (just about) everything you can imagine. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on my TH-cam channel, check my blog. It’ll likely be there. Lol.
This content is treasure! Arrr!! 😁 So my question is: What if you have the skills for the job but not the experience. How can you negotiate more money for what they are paying? Just enough so you are not thinking of changing jobs in the near future? But not above your current value as an employee. Thanks Andrew!!
Thanks Andrew. I have been through 2 interviews now and on the second interview I vocalised that the pay wasn't exactly what I was expecting. So they know I'm not impressed by it so I'm hoping they will revise the salary on the offer to match my skills. If they don't, then I will be giving them a call and using these techniques.
I would suggest speaking on other relevant achievements. If you have academic honors, have won any awards or received recognition for any projects. I would also look up average pay for your profession/ region/position at your company. This will let them know you're knowledgeable of your worth and the worth of your work.
Thank you so much! I got an offer and I disappointed on the salary! I would like $10,000.00 more. I'm going to be brave and ask, because I know I am worth it! I LOVE the sentence to start with!!! Thank YOU!!!!
In my first few jobs, I took what their first offer because I was fearful they’d hire someone who’d take their offer should I reject or ask for more. At the same time, in this pandemic, I plan to still adopt your advice, though I can’t undervalue myself to where I have to sacrifice too much just to have this job.
Hi Andrew, a few days ago I did a preliminary interview with a big bank for a Data Science position. And luckily I had already seen your videos on how to handle the salary question if it comes up. I naturally told them the ideal answer, that at this stage I didn't have enough to work with to give them something substantive that I could stand behind and so would do that when we were at the later stages of the interview. The interviewer actually applauded my answer but went on to insist that I still give a number but I managed to defer it. This is what is making me a little nervous. I could not give her a current salary because I graduated end of last year, and during lockdown is when I used online courses day and night to get my certification for Data Science (+ the bachelor's in software engineering and a good internship = total experience) but I don't have real-world experience with data science. So let's say I do hear back from them and get offered the job, how much should I be positioning myself to charge? from 1 - 10, let's say the lower average in this field is 4.5, average is 6.5 and upper average is 8.5, where should I target?
This worked for me, I said I want this thing to workout and recruiter asked won't that make my side weak?? I said I hope that this may help both of us to overcome the stigma of being "weak" in this process, We are now good to go and I'm expecting this and he said well if it is what makes me happy be it 😁😁😁😁 Thanks a lot!!!
You are excellent. I tried to negotiate my salary after an offer letter......I never got a feedback from the company after 2 weeks since I counter their offer ....I am having doubts whether I should have just accepted the offer.
The HR guy was cool and told me I pretty much got the job. A friend who is on the inside said the same and that if it was up to them(im giving 2 weeks notice to previous employer) that they would have me start immediately. I took that hint and I negotiated 1 dollar more. May not be much but over a year its more than 3000$ difference. I used this tactics and they worked.
Thanks a lot Andrew. I followed your advice on renegociating after the inicial offer and after the second interview once I had more information on the job requirements and it went great, it worked and had a better salary offer! Thank you very much!
I agree with the line that you said: Taking an offer we all are winning... Owing to building a term. However, employers make an offer as though saying that they can do without you. Like saying after all, they are the owners of their Business
Oh man I wish I saw this sooner, my prospective employer asked me for my compensation on the first interview and I answered low :'( Going into the third interview now, hoping to negotiate higher since I know all about the position now
Patrick, you start negotiating the moment you submit your application!! However, I know what you mean. When you get the verbal, you do not negotiate. You simply ask if there is wiggle room in time for you to review the written offer in detail. After you get the written offer and you look at it, you go back to them with your counter offer.
This was helpful! I had an offer for a position I really wanted, accepted it, and then I wondered if I should have negotiated. Your video was very helpful!
Great video. What to do when HR only gives you 24 hours to answer whether you take the job offer or not? This has been my case the last few times, and there was virtually no room for negotiation of anything (salary, vacation days, bonus, you name it)
Thank you. Unfortunately, I was inexperienced and the first question was "what is the least amount you'll accept for this job" and I tried to evade but was pressured for an answer, so I answered without understanding and now I've gotten the job offer for that low salary. I'm unsure what to do, hahaha.
They asked me of my salary expectations and I tald them the figure I wanted. I suppose, they will agree and offer me the same thing. But I think I underestimated my expectation and would like to ask for a 25% increase (pretending that another company is offering me more and I should choose between both). What is your opinion of that, is there a proper strategy? I am not in a hurry to be hired, so it's not crucial for me to have to accept the offer I initially asked for.
In now a days, where there are a lot of TA recruiting for other clients, knowing the budget/salary expectation is really important in order to be able to continue, form both ends - you don't want to do tests/interviews if the position is not paying more than you currently earn, and the TA don't want to propose candidates to clients if they are outside the budget. Nice video, though
I really appreciate your videos Andrew they always help calm me down before I have to have these types of conversations. Also your past videos have been very helpful, hence the fact that I’m at the point of watching this video.😊
Is it better to negotiate an offer with an email response or phone call? Email you can outline more rationale while the phone seems more personal. Would love your take.
Thanks so much for all the videos and info. I'm headed to San Francisco for an onsite interview on Monday and fully expect to get an offer. This info will be helpful in the negotiations. I'm an info junkie and have watched several of your video's to be the most prepared. I've been a Executive Physician Recruiter for over 20 yrs and LOVE WHAT I DO!!
Linda Newsome hey Linda, so glad I could help. Please please please let me know how it goes. Lots of luck and I'm sending you really huge good vibes!!!
When an employer offers a "maximum" of salary for a position, how often is that really the max that they are willing to pay? and if it is not, what on average do they really can increase that "maximum"?
Andy, when they say "max" they're not lying. They are simply saying what they think at that moment until it comes down to the end. I've never witnessed a situation where a company couldn't come up with additional dollars for something they genuinely loved. I stress genuinely love.
I got 10k more than I was expecting and 6k more than the highest range, without even negotiating, the T&C's were awesome, bonus vacay, hybrid, local, benefits, at this point I could have asked for more, but I was honestly happy with what they gave me, I suspect companies don't like giving low balls due to back & forthing, I'm sure I could have maybe asked for 2k more easily, but TBH, I am happy with it... Sometimes negotiating isn't everything, it's the whole contract,... I get your video and points I sincerley do, and used all your tactics on not doing anythign before an offer, and that works 100% your on the money. but in my case... I was good to go... I also HATE haggling, I'm really bad at that. and also confrontations :( keep on trucking sir
Gourab. Yes. You are correct. I would not offer that info nowadays. I shot this video five years ago when the laws and practices were different. My more current videos will align to your thinking.
I am going through this right now. I have a masters and they dont want to budge. They keep saying “this is what the job pays” basically says someone without my history is going to make the exact same...
I have a salary negotiation playlist on my youtube channel with more videos. I would also check out this video on Instagram: Don't love your salary? instagram.com/p/CEcj_QQB3rF/
Share that it's a big decision and you need some time and ask if you can have a few more days? If so, agree to the deadline. If they are pushing for an answer, here's another video to consider. Job Seekers Avoid Quick Fix Syndrome!!! instagram.com/p/CMNKQ3dhThR/\ Good luck!
Hi Andrew thanks much for the video. When given an offer over the phone can you immediately start to negotiate for something higher immediately while on the phone call or it's best to tell the employer that you would review and you can then ask for more via an email?
If they call you to offer the position & tell you the salary & you say “ok sounds good...” but then when reviewing the written offer sent by email for a formal acceptance, you start to have doubts. Is it too late to reply with a request to negotiate?
It doesn't work like this everytime. In the first call itself, recruiter asks 3 questions - current CTC, expected CTC and notice period. They don't proceed to forward the CV if any one of these is not answered.
I have a call in a couple of hours with an HR recruiter, my mistake was discussing salary at the beginning of the process. This would be my first time trying to negotiate salary after an offer but Im hoping although we quickly discussed salary expectations in the beginning I can still gain this offer with my salary proposed (new and increased)
By watching your videos (about 8 of them) during my job change, I was able to 1. Get the offers I wanted 2. Negotiated $23,000 more than the original offer and 3. Nailed the interview (selected from 200 applicants) Thank you!!!! you have a wealth of knowledge!! Can’t imagine how successful your students must be in taking your courses. Much appreciated
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this. I'm glad it helped you.
Is that how you got that Range Rover? Haha
Woow!!!
$23,000 more??? how??
wow!
Good video. Fastest way to increase salary is to move to another company. I have increased income by 50% doing this.
Don't do that very often (specially if everyone knows everyone in your sector) or prepare to face a bad reputation as a job hopper.
I stayed at the same company for 30 years, lots of peers jumped ship for a nice raise, but after thirty years I was making more than all of them plus when I retired I had lots of vested benefits. Pension, 401k, retiree medical care. Gotta think long term, don't jump ship for a few extra bucks, jump ship for a better long term opportunity.
Lol!! True
@@ppumpkin3282 sure thing but sometimes one have to think about where the company is heading. For example if the company is expanding operations overseas or another part of the country whereas the same time new not investing on new equipment/infrastructure as well as carrying out " restructuring" on the the site that you work. If there signs are there it's better to "jump ship" if there is other good opportunities then waiting for it to hit the iceberg.
I'm ready to jump ship again. Been with the company for 5 years, I left for 4 months and the new company lied to me so I'm back with the first company. I cant stand it but I'm good at it and I have to make money
"I know more money is always better, but sometimes it comes at a cost" this is so wise!
For sure. You don't want a target on your head and an impatient boss! LOL.
Iv'e come into an office where I was the highest paid employee by far. The President let me know that. In the end it worked against me. They expected me to pull rabbits out of the hat, perform magic on a daily basis. Not the position one wants to be in necessarily. I was let go after 2 years.
Yes. If you feel like you're being overpaid, most likely, they expect you to perform far better than you're capable of, which increases your chances of being fired.
@@andylacivita I got an offer on Friday afternoon for 5pm; I want $2k more and their benefits are really not what I have right now. I really want to write to them before my decision date which is next coming Friday so see if they are willing to go up to $2k.
That part made me pause the video and think a bit.
I'd recommend doing exactly what he is saying and listen carefully to the message in this video. I just landed my first six-figure salary because of that. You are a genius, Andrew! THANK YOU!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!
When I read stories like this, I realize how far I am from the top. Damn.
Thank you so much. I followed your interview tips and secured an offer that doubled my salary with bonus. Then I followed your negotiation techniques and got 3 weeks vacations. Your information is priceless.
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy! Congratulations on this!!! So happy for you!!!
I have a written offer from a bank and I don’t like the pay, how do you think I should negotiate that?? Specially when it say final offer ?
What video did you watch about his interview techniques?
Congratulations- curious did you negotiate 3 weeks vacation in addition to paid time off offered by the company ? Or just 3 paid vacation since the company did not provide vacation?

Being a woman in the workplace, these videos have really helped me realize that how valuable of an asset I am to this current team I’m working with. I wish more recruiters were able to be as authentic and real as you are. I’ve been dealing with a communication gap with my employers and you’ve helped me stick up for myself and ask for what I need. I want to make this work and care about this team tremendously. I have an annual review in just a few hours and I feel like you’re my coach amping me up for a marathon! I’m crossing my fingers for a 10%-15% raise. Wish me luck!!!
Go get em Taylor!! And, please please please comment back on how it goes!! Also, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but I have a monthly leadership coaching program (it’s a modest monthly subscription or an even less expensive annual subscription). If you reach a point where you want more ongoing support, check it out. I also provide my full career accelerator program as a bonus to the leaders. That program includes detailed lessons in planning for and executing on your promotion. It’s an amazing program. You can check it out here: www.milewalkacademy.com/andrew-lacivita-leadership-monthly-live. Either way, let me know how your discussion goes! Good luck!!🍀👍
Being a man I realize my value is my value
Please dont start with BEING WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE.. you make it sound like you are living in the 1200's.. its 2024 now..
First time in my life that I had to prepare for an Interview. I’m 44 in a very competitive industry. It felt like my last chance. Between you , (and other content creators ) I passed 3 hard interviews back to back and got the job. Thank you and everything you do.
You got this. At any age!!
Saying what I have as paycheck would destroy my chances to get a decent salary. I have an incredible low salary in my current job because I have been there my last 13 years.
Video summary:
1. Do not talk salary at the beginning of the interview process.
2. Both parties compromise. More money comes at a cost.
3. Think of the full "package" - environment, certainty, role. Don't give up a good package for a few dollars.
4. You are a team. Both win if u accept the job. Both lose if you don't because all the time spent in the process ia wasted.
5. Be flexible and open minded. If you want the job but aren't quite there yet because of the salary communicate these 6 golden words to start with: I want to make this work.
So trade salary with vacation days stocks, benefits.
6. Take your time but be quick. Reply verbally not in email.
Thanks for the summary!
Reply verbally is boomer logic. You're just asking for a recruiter to misconstrue your words to the hiring manager instead of simply forwarding your counter offer.
Thanks for summarizing
Qq
@@Qwonk Yes, in another video the recruiter said to reply how the company made the offer. This makes sense to me. Also, it’s easier to track communication via email. The company that just hired me asked me to specifically send any questions via email.
Don't tell them how much you make currently cos they may offer you something very little from your current pay. Why should a company's decision to hire me be based on what i currently make.
Worse thing any candidate can say is how much they make. The person that says the first number loses! Bad tip at the beginning but tips get better later.
But almost all employers ive met want to know how much you make and they want proof of your payslip..does it work diff where you are at?
@@marlinabasir Really proof of pay slip? That sounds illegal to me. Where are you located?
@@Lalalalalelo Not really, thinking of it that way is quite flawed. It's not about winning or losing its about coming to an understanding. That's why he's saying to make it work or compromise.
I once doubled my income by careful negotiations. Half of the job was doomed, so at least I got money out of it for a while. I also learned a lot, so no waste of time.
Most importantly, when asked what I previously earned, I answered what I would need in the new (more expensive) city to at least equal the old position. I also said that for no noticeable improvement I wouldn't switch.
Love your phrase “I want to make this work.” This is great and I am absolutely comfortable saying that. Thanks Andy!
Hello Isa, how are you doing?
In the past I rushed into negotiations and ended up with roles and salaries I wasn't happy with. I took your advice and turned a job I wanted into a job offering almost a 50% increase on my previous wage plus equity and more holidays.
Outstanding Graham! Huge congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉!!!
That's amazing! Was your employer was aware of your previous wage before they agreed to pay you that amount? I'm trying to pull off something similar myself.
Andrew, thanks to your TH-cam videos I wrote an ultimate resume, got noticed, had the interview and just got hired with a significant raise one step above my current title. You’re an excellent teacher and mentor. I’ve learned so much from your success. Thank you so much! God bless.
Samuel, thank YOU so much for sharing this. It's always nice to hear!
I Like your name
I disagree that I should disclose what I am currently making especially if the job should pay a lot more. Isn't that the purpose of leaving one job? For a better job? If I tell them what I am currently making, I am giving them the opportunity to lowball me and even if I negotiate a higher salary, it won't be as high as what I could have gotten. I do however, love the six words: I want to make this work. Solid advice!
Heide. You are correct. Do not disclose. This video was created when employers could require you to share.
“I want to make this work”. Phenomenal advice.
Use it!!
I like very much the mentality of compromise and the sentence - "I know more money is always better, but sometimes it comes at a cost", it's beyond salary negotiation, valid for many negotiations.
No doubt. :)
I should've watched this video prior to my interview. I've stated an amount and found out that I can get paid a lot more. I am trying to get my words and confidence together to negotiate the pay before I actually accept the job.
C M That's okay, see my other message about my salary negotiation tips playlist. Be sure you have received an offer before you start to negotiate.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video gave me the confidence to, for the first time in my life, negotiate a salary instead of simply accepting what was offered. I received 6k more, plus all the perks I requested. You. Are. Awesome!
Out. Stand. Ing!!! Congratulations Lucy!!!
Hi Andrew, one to time l had a phone interview from a HR Manager. The very first question she asked me was "What is your Salary expectation?" . To which l said " ..l would be more then happy to negotiate on the figure". Then it went quite for 3 second from which she replied ".....anyway thanks for showing interest in this particular role and we would get in touch with you in the near future" Then she ended the call!. Very unprofessional indeed!
Prpbably not a worthwhile workplace
yeah that sounds like an employer who don't care much about their employees. When things go sour like that, I always say "it wasn't for me because something better is coming my way"
I have that with these foreign/international recruiters that ask how much are you looking for after they ask me if I am available. Remember all these foreign recruiters want is to submit anyone for the job so it looks good on their Candidate Submission Report so ask them how much are other candidates asking and tell them it all depends on the client. They they always disclose how much they can pay.
Hey Andy, I've been following your channel for around 6 months now, and regularly watched your videos whenever a new opportunity came my way that I decided to explore. Your Interview Intervention book was so good that I bought it twice (because I lost the first copy somewhere in the house and needed the e-book at short notice last week to help me get through a second round interview). Your advice completely changed the way I went about the whole process and gave me an incredible amount of self-confidence and assurance during the whole process. Yesterday I had my final third round interview and today was told they are going to make me an offer for what is going to be big step forwards for me professionally and monetary (hence why I'm watching and commenting on this video hehe). Look, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for passing on your advice to others here and in your books. Every piece of advice given has been pure GOLD and served me well on my journey up to this point. I'm currently at a crossroads on what to do next with the pending offer, but your advice and tips have been a huge part of what got me here and again, I just wanted to say thank you! All the best, DC
This is awesome DC! Huge congratulations 🎈🍾🎊🎉 to you and I’m sure you’re gonna crush that new job!!
What do you do when you list your salary range in the application, find out the job has more responsibilities than you realized, and you get the job. Is it too late or too risky to ask for more? Not to mention, I always feel like I under bid myself but this situation that I described has happened to me a few times and I think I just did it again.
Never say what you are currently earning. A lot of companies will just offer a tiny bit more than what you are making, which is not enough since you will have to move jobs and add a ton more stress for on-boarding into a new company especially in the IT field like programming,engineering ect. But if you have to leave your current employer then try and negotiate a higher salary only once it comes to an offer.
Thank you very much Andrew, your video helped me alot to grow my confidence and guess what, i recently applied for a job, got a call for interview 2 days after, after 3days, i got another call for salary negotiation, followed your principles and i go the job even above my salary expectation.... All these happened in less than 2 weeks. will start my new job by 2week of July. Thank you
Missing summary:
- Not sales negotiation - you're not a sale.
- Don't start with desired salary. You may provide your current salary.
- Concessions on both side.
- Communicate "I want to make this work".
- Reply verbally a definitive date on job acceptance/rejection.
👍 Thanks
I watched this video prepared for negotiation.....and failed. They made an offer it was better than expected so I accepted it.
Hello! I have watched all your videos from interview tips to salary negotiations and I am happy to say I got a good offer in the end ! I was scared to counter offer but it was worth it! Thank you very much!
Wonderful to hear Marie-Claire!!
Im not gonna get an offer soon. I'm here because I want to be prepared for the inevitable before graduation :D
Wish me luck tomorrow I am definitely gonna go in starting off with these 6 words and that’s exactly how I want them to feel Welcome and not defensive.
Your advice is amazing, I applied it and got favorable results.. thank you so much especially everybody should watch writing another email to employer even after getting rejected.. I did and they called me back a month after offering another position exclusively to me before anyone else.. Again THANKS A TONNNE!!!!!!!
Love to hear this!!!!!
Thank you Andrew, very helpful. I have my MBA and this is my first salary negation. With your help and a little luck we will come to a mutual agreement we are both happy with!
Same, I'm earning my MBA and I'm about to negotiate with the leverage of my degrees. Good luck!
Thanks for this. I responded with "I want to make this work" and I proceeded to pitch on why I'm the best at what I do. Got myself a 12% pay raise in six figure territory in a few minutes of email.
Yahoo! and congrats!
"We want you to both be hyappy!" Love this guys accent! So friendly!
I am just about the friendly and welcoming guy you will ever find. :) And, Chicago accent all the way!
Just got a job offer and they asked for a pay range a few times. They asked it in the application, and in 2 seperate interviews. The good thing about this was that I shot up my pay range 10k over what I initially wanted and they were able to match that. I should have done way more!
Way to go, congratulations!
@@andylacivita thanks!
Thank you. Your perspective is helpful, and I especially appreciate the "I want to make this work" statement.
Ballaurena13 thanks Ballaurena, glad you liked it!
“You never, ever talk about compensation at the beginning of the process.” Except about a third of the online applications ask for your salary expectations. A few I got through with n/a or 00000. But there’s systems out there that will force you to put in 45000 or 70000 or a “relevant number”. Sigh. Another thing I’ve run into quite a bit is the recruiter asking for your salary expectations during the first interview.
Felicia for sure. You’ve go to address the issues. Check out my live office hours titled why you don’t get paid what you deserve. I go into this much more deeply!
I've had 3 phone interviews and for each one they asked my salary expectations!
I agree 100%, I get that all the time. They ask what my salary expectations are without going in depth in the job description. I believe I asked around 70k for first job. But I just recently got hired for 75k for a second job and I accepted the offer. Now for the first job I want to raise it to 80k. From a thousand foot view that sounds bad. But now that I've talked to the first job in details, the responsibilities they want for me is almost close to a management position for I will be the only developer managing their systems. So I honestly feel like I should ask for 80k for the position. I was thinking about compromising in terms of skipping a few years worth of raises. But now I honestly don't want the job unless its 80k or more. Sorry for giving too much details but negotiating is not what I am good at. I honestly feel bad for continuing the interviews despite already being hired for the second job. But to me I feel its the name of the game. I can't really negotiate what I want if I don't have leverage. Even if I didn't get hired by the second job, I feel that the first job should still pay me 80k for the amount of responsibility I will take. But this is the type of negotiation I am going to give to them if they decide to hire me. I wont even mention the second job that hired me. If they are willing to take the offer I will just quit the second job that hired me.
Same here, they asked me the first phone interview to make sure we were not wasting time ...
Tell them "write down 1 dollar and we will start from there once we get to know each other"
I watched this video before appearing for salary negotiation. The tips are extremely helpful while talking to the employer. It opens up the new aspect for me for instance, flexible benefit, bonus package, travelling allowances, etc..
In 4 years when I graduate I’m gonna come back to this video. I’m currently in school for Computer Science. And when I get to the point of a interview. I’m coming back to this video trust me 😂.
Great to hear it Gregory!!
I’m late to the party but I just completed an initial phone interview. Not only did they ask me how much I was looking for (I told them I would like to know more before making an uneducated estimate) but they also told me a what they planned to bring people on for. This kind of shook me and I mentioned how that might be out of my range. Still waiting for next steps but I’m wondering if I shot myself in the foot.
Thanks Andrew- I just used your tips to negotiate a 15% increase to the initial salary offer. That's quite a significant amount considering it's my second job but I backed up my negotiation with my good performance at my previous company. Although one of the keys to me succeeding was that I knew my skills and experience was unique and exactly what they wanted, and also they knew I was interviewing at a bigger company which was likely to offer higher pay. So I made sure they got that during the interview which probably explained why they were so willing to accept my counter offer. I'm in a field where people are generally underpaid, so getting an offer like that from a small company means a lot. And to think some people don't negotiate salary offers but love to bargain at the shops!
Love to hear this and I’m so happy for you!
How do you do your counteroffer? Do you call the HR representative or send an email?
I love this video. I agree with 99% of what Andrew says except one point:
After the employer makes you an offer and tells you what your base salary would be no financial packages involved anything else just your base salary... Using the line I'm "willing to work with you on salary" before you counter offer immediately sets you up mentally for a lower compromise.
Your first counter is the most important counter offer of the whole negotiation. And whatever you're starting base salary for the company ultimately becomes will follow you until the end of your term. It's your best chance to go for all the money. So your first counter offer should be solid well thought out and stated with at with absolute conviction.
After that when they counter offer your counter offer that's when you should play the "we're a team I'm willing to work with you" card.
I wouldn’t recommend saying “ I’m willing to work with you on salary” on a counter. I’d say, I’d like to make this work. and you are correct about the first counter.
Of all i've watched, you're content are the best..Thank you
Wow, thanks!!
Many companies just aren’t paying what they should. I turned down my first ever job offer after negotiations last year. They wouldn’t even budget one cent. I had mixed emotions. I’m hopefully going to negotiate again in the next few days with a different company and I really hope I can counter and we can get to a point where I accept what they offer.
Good luck!
@@andylacivita THANK YOU!
Great! "I WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK"
That's right Dom!
I have an scheduled interview tomorrow. Your tips are powerful!!! I will definitely apply them. Now I can sleep well and relax my mind knowing that I am prepared because of your video guides!!! Thank you so much!!!
Always great advice that stands the test of time, Andy!
I was asked about salary requirements in my phone interview recently. It was a brand new, never existed before position.
Although I knew the advice not to answer specifically, I responded by telling them the research I had done in the industry and gave them a range a bit higher than the handful of people in this position in the industry. They responded by telling me they had not actually put a price tag on it yet and needed someone who could help them build it.
They moved me on to the second interview, and I found out yesterday by a reputable source that they think I’m “perfect” for the role and have submitted me to the hiring committee.
Remaining hopeful...
I'm hopeful too! Melissa, keep this in mind should the issue come up again. Even though most people think being paid is about being paid fairly relative to the market, it NEVER is. It should be about the value you uniquely bring as a unique candidate. Be above the market because you offer more. So, effectively, show them what you can do for them and tell them what that's worth!
Don't reveal your current, or last salary level, just you could say that - I want to learn more about the role I'm applying to, meet with the people at the company, and then I can get the full view of what this role is worth. Andrew is right that when we have our purpose, values related to work, and we see the organization we are passionate about its mission and what they are doing - financial part is only one aspect, we should look as well if the role would help us realise our passion, talents and gifts in the best way possible at the awesome company.
I can attest to that
Thanks for the video. The only thing I’d push back on is sharing your salary at the beginning. I typically don’t do that as I don’t want it to be used against me. To me, the job I’m applying for is valued at what it is, regardless of what I was making before.
Thanks for sharing!
Very very true... more money comes with alot of pressure
Andrew, thank you! I followed the tips from your videos such as questions and negations and was given an offer. They wouldn’t budge on salary BUT I was able to negotiate the benefits and got an additional 8k worth of benefits added that I otherwise would have not known about! When I told my friends and fam they were like: ‘you can negotiate benefits?!’ 😏 little do they know the magic of LaCivita!! Thanks a bunch! I have shared your info with them all!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing Dan! 👍
I'm learning so much from you after returning to the workforce after 6 years. THANK YOU!
Great to have you here Amber. If you need anything, type it in the search bar on my channel. I’ve literally covered (just about) everything you can imagine. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on my TH-cam channel, check my blog. It’ll likely be there. Lol.
I love doing it. As a professional recruiter, it blows me away how so many people don't negotiate their salary.
Nice GT. Yeah baby. You know because you’re an insider!
@@andylacivita this is still very useful information for everyone to learn.
I learned some great tips. Now I'm confident that I can negotiate a great salary. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Sir. the way you explain it is simply amazing. Thanks a lot.
You are so welcome Vishal. Glad you enjoyed it!!
This content is treasure! Arrr!! 😁
So my question is: What if you have the skills for the job but not the experience. How can you negotiate more money for what they are paying? Just enough so you are not thinking of changing jobs in the near future? But not above your current value as an employee. Thanks Andrew!!
Thanks Andrew. I have been through 2 interviews now and on the second interview I vocalised that the pay wasn't exactly what I was expecting. So they know I'm not impressed by it so I'm hoping they will revise the salary on the offer to match my skills. If they don't, then I will be giving them a call and using these techniques.
Hello Andrew, I have a question for you: how do you negotiate a salary as an entry level candidate with no related experience to the job position.
I would suggest speaking on other relevant achievements. If you have academic honors, have won any awards or received recognition for any projects. I would also look up average pay for your profession/ region/position at your company. This will let them know you're knowledgeable of your worth and the worth of your work.
I was with the same situation but lie and got the job
Now I have 2 years experience 😁
Thank you so much! I got an offer and I disappointed on the salary! I would like $10,000.00 more. I'm going to be brave and ask, because I know I am worth it! I LOVE the sentence to start with!!! Thank YOU!!!!
You’re so welcome. Good luck!!
In my first few jobs, I took what their first offer because I was fearful they’d hire someone who’d take their offer should I reject or ask for more.
At the same time, in this pandemic, I plan to still adopt your advice, though I can’t undervalue myself to where I have to sacrifice too much just to have this job.
Love to hear it. Stand your ground and know your worth!!
Excellent guidance --thank you! Subscribed to your channel after watching several lessons and shared with some of my family members.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Andrew, a few days ago I did a preliminary interview with a big bank for a Data Science position. And luckily I had already seen your videos on how to handle the salary question if it comes up. I naturally told them the ideal answer, that at this stage I didn't have enough to work with to give them something substantive that I could stand behind and so would do that when we were at the later stages of the interview. The interviewer actually applauded my answer but went on to insist that I still give a number but I managed to defer it. This is what is making me a little nervous. I could not give her a current salary because I graduated end of last year, and during lockdown is when I used online courses day and night to get my certification for Data Science (+ the bachelor's in software engineering and a good internship = total experience) but I don't have real-world experience with data science.
So let's say I do hear back from them and get offered the job, how much should I be positioning myself to charge? from 1 - 10, let's say the lower average in this field is 4.5, average is 6.5 and upper average is 8.5, where should I target?
Hey mate, any update on how it went?
how'd it go?
This worked for me, I said I want this thing to workout and recruiter asked won't that make my side weak?? I said I hope that this may help both of us to overcome the stigma of being "weak" in this process, We are now good to go and I'm expecting this and he said well if it is what makes me happy be it 😁😁😁😁 Thanks a lot!!!
Great to hear! You're so welcome @panchal chirag!
This is an amazing video, I am going in tomorrow to negotiate about my salary. I will use your tips, thank you!
You're welcome!
How did it go? Did you get what you wanted?
You are excellent. I tried to negotiate my salary after an offer letter......I never got a feedback from the company after 2 weeks since I counter their offer ....I am having doubts whether I should have just accepted the offer.
Hi Louis. thanks for the nice words. Hang in there and follow up. It was okay to counter. It's not okay for them to go silent.
@@andylacivita Thanks. your video's help me especially preparing interviews. I will wait patiently till for them to talk. Cheers
I WANT TO MAKE THIS WORK!! okay I'm gonna start with this tomorrow!! Thank you
Nice. 👊👍👍
The HR guy was cool and told me I pretty much got the job. A friend who is on the inside said the same and that if it was up to them(im giving 2 weeks notice to previous employer) that they would have me start immediately. I took that hint and I negotiated 1 dollar more. May not be much but over a year its more than 3000$ difference. I used this tactics and they worked.
Thanks a lot Andrew. I followed your advice on renegociating after the inicial offer and after the second interview once I had more information on the job requirements and it went great, it worked and had a better salary offer! Thank you very much!
You’re so welcome Blue!
I agree with the line that you said:
Taking an offer we all are winning...
Owing to building a term.
However, employers make an offer as though saying that they can do without you. Like saying after all, they are the owners of their Business
You can do without them. You have great services to offer and there are plenty of employers who want you. Remember that.
Oh man I wish I saw this sooner, my prospective employer asked me for my compensation on the first interview and I answered low :'( Going into the third interview now, hoping to negotiate higher since I know all about the position now
BIG SHOUT OUT!!!!I have just articulated my mail requesting more money while making concessions on some of my current benefits. Really helpful!
Excellent!
When to negotiate? Is it better to negotiate immediately after the (verbal) offer is made, or better to ask for time to respond, then negotiate?
Patrick, you start negotiating the moment you submit your application!! However, I know what you mean. When you get the verbal, you do not negotiate. You simply ask if there is wiggle room in time for you to review the written offer in detail. After you get the written offer and you look at it, you go back to them with your counter offer.
@@andylacivita What if they ask to verbally confirm before they can make a written offer?
@@kaliaparijat Say you can not verbally confirm anything until you see a written contract about their offer of employment.
This was helpful! I had an offer for a position I really wanted, accepted it, and then I wondered if I should have negotiated. Your video was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
FINALLY Someone who gets it! Great video Andrew! Very educational! Be Blessed
Thanks much Kelvin!
Great video.
What to do when HR only gives you 24 hours to answer whether you take the job offer or not? This has been my case the last few times, and there was virtually no room for negotiation of anything (salary, vacation days, bonus, you name it)
Thanks for this balanced and kind perspective. Much more human and thoughtful than lots of the other videos on this topic
You’re welcome Nels!
Agreeed!!
Thank you. Unfortunately, I was inexperienced and the first question was "what is the least amount you'll accept for this job" and I tried to evade but was pressured for an answer, so I answered without understanding and now I've gotten the job offer for that low salary. I'm unsure what to do, hahaha.
Check my video on how to negotiate a job offer after giving your expected salary.
This is the best video on this topic I have seen on TH-cam! GREAT advice!!
Wow, thank you!
Great video. My job offer doesn’t even resemble what was discussed in my second or third interview.
Glad it helped!
They asked me of my salary expectations and I tald them the figure I wanted. I suppose, they will agree and offer me the same thing. But I think I underestimated my expectation and would like to ask for a 25% increase (pretending that another company is offering me more and I should choose between both). What is your opinion of that, is there a proper strategy? I am not in a hurry to be hired, so it's not crucial for me to have to accept the offer I initially asked for.
Yes. Ask for more!!
I am also in same situation. what happened did you get more from your initial expectation?
In now a days, where there are a lot of TA recruiting for other clients, knowing the budget/salary expectation is really important in order to be able to continue, form both ends - you don't want to do tests/interviews if the position is not paying more than you currently earn, and the TA don't want to propose candidates to clients if they are outside the budget. Nice video, though
I like the way you speak, very professional yet friendly. New subscriber :)
I love you way you comment my new sub Shyan! Glad you are here with me!
I really appreciate your videos Andrew they always help calm me down before I have to have these types of conversations. Also your past videos have been very helpful, hence the fact that I’m at the point of watching this video.😊
Love it and glad to hear it Jeremy!
Is it better to negotiate an offer with an email response or phone call? Email you can outline more rationale while the phone seems more personal. Would love your take.
Ryan, never negotiate via email. Also aid live interaction.
Ryan. I also have a video addressing this exact question on my Instagram page. Head over and you’ll see the title if you scroll through.
Hi Andrew,
I love watching your videos. I was fortunate to accept an offer in the middle of this pandemic after being laid off
So great to hear this!
3:40 I would not recommend providing your future employer with current or past salaries.
I would no longer recommend it either. we live in a different world than we did 5 years ago.
How do you respond if the interviewer asks about your current salary?
"I want to make this work" - I like that! 😊👍
Great to hear!
Thanks so much for all the videos and info. I'm headed to San Francisco for an onsite interview on Monday and fully expect to get an offer. This info will be helpful in the negotiations. I'm an info junkie and have watched several of your video's to be the most prepared. I've been a Executive Physician Recruiter for over 20 yrs and LOVE WHAT I DO!!
Linda Newsome hey Linda, so glad I could help. Please please please let me know how it goes. Lots of luck and I'm sending you really huge good vibes!!!
"I want to make this work." So smart. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
When an employer offers a "maximum" of salary for a position, how often is that really the max that they are willing to pay? and if it is not, what on average do they really can increase that "maximum"?
Andy, when they say "max" they're not lying. They are simply saying what they think at that moment until it comes down to the end. I've never witnessed a situation where a company couldn't come up with additional dollars for something they genuinely loved. I stress genuinely love.
I got 10k more than I was expecting and 6k more than the highest range, without even negotiating, the T&C's were awesome, bonus vacay, hybrid, local, benefits, at this point I could have asked for more, but I was honestly happy with what they gave me, I suspect companies don't like giving low balls due to back & forthing, I'm sure I could have maybe asked for 2k more easily, but TBH, I am happy with it... Sometimes negotiating isn't everything, it's the whole contract,... I get your video and points I sincerley do, and used all your tactics on not doing anythign before an offer, and that works 100% your on the money. but in my case... I was good to go... I also HATE haggling, I'm really bad at that. and also confrontations :( keep on trucking sir
Congrats!!
I do not agree on disclosing my current salary rather uncomfortable about it...any suggestion how to avoid the question?
Gourab. Yes. You are correct. I would not offer that info nowadays. I shot this video five years ago when the laws and practices were different. My more current videos will align to your thinking.
I am going through this right now. I have a masters and they dont want to budge. They keep saying “this is what the job pays” basically says someone without my history is going to make the exact same...
And as far as the day, they want to know “right now!” . I wish I had a week to think 🤔
I have a salary negotiation playlist on my youtube channel with more videos. I would also check out this video on Instagram: Don't love your salary? instagram.com/p/CEcj_QQB3rF/
Share that it's a big decision and you need some time and ask if you can have a few more days? If so, agree to the deadline. If they are pushing for an answer, here's another video to consider. Job Seekers Avoid Quick Fix Syndrome!!! instagram.com/p/CMNKQ3dhThR/\
Good luck!
@@andylacivita thank you for your help and advice, will definitely check them out!
Your pointers are helping me great deal in understanding the hiring processes .Thank you very much for all the great service you are doing .💐
Glad to hear it!!
Very helpful!! Thank you for sharing your advice!
You’re welcome!
Hi Andrew thanks much for the video. When given an offer over the phone can you immediately start to negotiate for something higher immediately while on the phone call or it's best to tell the employer that you would review and you can then ask for more via an email?
You can but I would make sure to understand what all the details are first and then come back at a later time with my full counteroffer.
WOW! ANDY!
You also don’t want to waste your time either. Salary expectations are important.
Thanks for the advice this process makes me nervous!
You’re welcome and you got this!
If they call you to offer the position & tell you the salary & you say “ok sounds good...” but then when reviewing the written offer sent by email for a formal acceptance, you start to have doubts. Is it too late to reply with a request to negotiate?
Your can certainly negotiate at the end Mistee!!
It doesn't work like this everytime. In the first call itself, recruiter asks 3 questions - current CTC, expected CTC and notice period.
They don't proceed to forward the CV if any one of these is not answered.
I've been watching a few negotiation videos for salary/new offers, and yours is the best! Thanks a lot. Well-explained
Awesome, thank you!
I have a call in a couple of hours with an HR recruiter, my mistake was discussing salary at the beginning of the process. This would be my first time trying to negotiate salary after an offer but Im hoping although we quickly discussed salary expectations in the beginning I can still gain this offer with my salary proposed (new and increased)
