      Being in this exact situation right now, and by having watched your videos I know what to say to the company.
      The big difference to the "norm" is: this job was never posted, so there was no title or description for me to gauge the expected salary, they reached out to me and explained the responsibilities, they flew me for an interview and got back with an offer that included the title. The offer is within what the title pays in the region, and I plan to use your technique about the value I bring VS fixating on the title, plus some other of your suggestions..
      Is it acceptable to respond and negotiate their email offer in writing, or is it better to do it on a call, this knowing that I express myself much better in writing?

    I have been sending out resumes for well over 8 months with practically no success and I mean NONE. In that time, I have had only 2 interviews. SO, after finding you on TH-cam and watching video after video I decided to use your resume blueprint and four-sentence cover letter to totally transform my resume. Suffice to say, I was skeptical. However, since changing my resume to match your blueprint I now receive an interview for just about every resume submission. So... I wanted to say THANK YOU!

I said, “well, I don’t know until I find out all the…” bam, she gave me the $ range she had permission to offer and offered me the top.

The position was "budgeted" for a "max" amount and I used pretty much all of this to counter and they came back with my ask! Almost 20% increase in pay and there was no push back! It felt awesome!

I had a number in mind already that I thought would be fair and justified based on my skill set. The recruiter offered and I used Andrew's verbage exactly and he basically said that's what the job paid, BUT what were you looking for? I told him he took it and came back with a number much closer to what I asked for. I was happy the company was happy. I start in about 3 weeks.

    Helpful video! One thing I find is that through the interview process, company officials demonstrate their true colours especially when it comes to salary and compensation negotiations... with a lowball offer, that can often be a red flag as to how they will potentially treat you if you were to join the company. One has to review all factors of course but caution can be needed in these types of situations...

DO NOT accept an insultingly lowball salary. It will nag and niggle at you, and cause your performance to decline.

    I got an offer that was really low even when I tried to negotiate. Then got a great offer from another employer. So when I denied the offer from the previous company, they matched the other company and gave me the role I wanted. I still rejected their offer again. I felt uncomfortable to accept it because they didnt want to give me what I wanted to begin with the first time and when I found someone else, they gave me more than my original salary i wanted. I felt like if i was getting paid more than everyone else, I would have to out perform or stand out else they would fire me after 90 days and bring someone in way cheaper. What do you think? I loved their culture and atmosphere and would have loved to work there but the other company gave me a great offer the first time without having to negotiate

    I think that I began lowballed and now every promotion after that is based on an increase of that initial low offer. I'm trying to catch up to the market rate. I have lots of documentation of salary analyses from my job title in other companies. At the bottom of that number it would be a 38.4% increase from what I'm making now. And why do I deserve the bottom?! I have a proven track record of success and I am a 2022 and 2023 outstanding employee award recipient.

    Could be pride talking but either case:
    1. The person who is giving the offer has not made his/her job for the salary.
    2. If they are interested in you and they provide a low offer, I can’t imagine the rest of the candidates.
    I had an interview where they asked me my current salary (it is easy to know where I live and not illegal to know), and they offered me a lower salary than I was earning. I felt that disrespectful.
    This problems could be solved if the first interview they tell you the salary we have is X.

    when I initially had the phone interview, i did not provide a number, I asked for the range. I make a tad bit higher than the end point but asked if they would be willing to negotiate and they said it was based on experience. fast forward 4 interviews, i got an offer smack in the middle, the job ask for 2 years experience i have 10. i reiterated my skills and what i can bring to the position including additional responsibility. I asked for $7K over the high range. Their offer is a $7K lower than what I make now so I definitely could not accept it. i will see what the come back with. I am afraid to put a target on my back however want to be paid what i am worth and not have to take a pay cut.

    Andrew, these are excellent. I have very little experience being interviewed. I used your tips for resumes and cover letters. I sent them to the HR dept. at a company I am applying for and had an almost immediate response. The VP of Estimating had a phone interview with me. All seemed very lined up. He acknowledged that my exp (~28 years of estimating) made me a good candidate for SR. Estimator. He emailed me and encouraged me to call him again. I have done so but no response. Should I email HR again? I hope he didn't feel I was after his job. Thanks again,

    I think when you are lowballed at the beginning it just shows what they think. Even when you told them i wouldnt accept a postion under 36 they tried to come in at 32 i felt insulted cause though i thought it wouldve been a good company to work for that lowball offer didnt sit right with me then they came back and offered 36 but i found something that paid 40 while they were busy with that dilemma. Sometimes the world just works out. Dont let a company undervalue a skillset especially when you know its a hard one to find and learn.

I replied "yes" because I am a career changer and have no background in that industry. Also, I have been job-hopping due to caretaking and health issues. This is a for-profit business and they have no excuse to pay their entry-level employees that low salary range. I want to increase the salary up to $5,000 to be comfortable. Should I accept the offer for the experience or push for the increase?

    Sometimes, the recruiter just advises the jobs which are not matching your cv background. No chance to interview for the job which you want to apply for. I asked for the reason why advised me of the role, and there is no answer. Maybe simply because I am out of work?

    • @andylacivita

      That’s probably not the case. Recruiters want to fill their job openings as quickly as possible with a qualified candidate. It makes no difference to them if you’re working or not. In fact, some recruiters like it when someone isn’t working because they can usually start right away!!

    Such great content. I received a double low. I interviewed for a higher position going in that the company presented to me and even mentioned the cap on the position. After what I felt were successful and positive interviews, they came back with the next position down (lower) and a lower salary than they mentioned upfront. I will follow up with them following your advice; however, could you provide insight on why a company would do this? Why would they take me through great interviews and good interactions that they initiated and turn around and lower the position and salary? It feels like a bait and switch.

    • @andylacivita
      @andylacivita  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Kim. Sorry to hear, but this is very common. I’m not sure if you’ve seen many of my salary negotiation videos but what you’re experiencing is one of the many reasons I don’t recommend job candidates or employers share salary info upfront. You go thorough the process and then assess how you fit together and at what level for position and comp. Their assessment of your experience at the end of the process happened to be below their initial assessment (when they had a lot less information about you). This isn’t a bait and switch situation as much as mismanaged expectations.

      @psalmxv4188 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@andylacivita Thanks for the response. I have seen many of your salary negotiation interviews, which are great. My situation was more complex than I wrote. When I first spoke with the recruiter, she knew my salary expectations upfront. The role she initially presented did not match with my salary requirements, which was okay for me to say no to. She returned a couple of weeks later with a higher role that fell within my salary requirements, which to my understanding was what I was interviewing for. After the interviews, they came back with a lower role and a salary lower than what we discussed upfront. That is what I consider a bait and switch rather than me being assessed at a lower level. Had she explained why then I would have been okay with the lower level as I'm not into titles, but she already knew my salary requirements. She came with a perspective of take it or leave it. In this case, I felt a little disrespected, like they wasted my time and were likely discriminating (in my field there is a lot of it). I think you and others have mentioned that it should be a collaborative experience. Nevertheless, I walked away from them to accept a new job with a different company at the same higher title the previous company offered for the pay that I was seeking 3 months later. In fact, a better company, better benefits and better package. And that experience felt and went like your videos described. Again thank you so much for your content, training, and invaluable services.

I think the main tip and lesson everyone should do is never tell them your previous salary but tell them your expected range you want instead which you allowed to say a very high number whereas your previous pay you cannot lie about. If i didn't tell them my previous salary they would need to guess to lowball me and may probably guess high from the inflated expected number you give them. Next time i will say my current pay is confidential if it is a recruiter or if it is a hiring manager asking me I'll tell them i don't want my compensation to be judged on my current salary as that is the only reason why they ask u for ur current or previous pay

I'd assume you base the idea of what a position is worth around what the minimum requirements are and what THAT would be worth, so if I have more to offer, I'd at least bring that to your attention and see if there is a chance of a negotiation that could end somewhere I'd be happy with.
    Now if you give me an to me insulting low offer and then tell me you assume that's what you consider ME to be worth, that's now personal. I mean if there is a bit fo a gap between my expectation and your offer, that's something we could talk about. But if your offer seems insultingly low, that's in that case not you valuing the POSITION low, but your assumed value of ME PERSONALLY is insultingly low and thath.. well, is an insult and I'd take it as such and leave.
