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!
All I did was follow your advice when a headhunter asked what I was looking for in salary. 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. Previously, I’d just assumed the offer was all there was and took the offer. Third round of interviews and I’m using your tools. Thank you so much! Love your content! It’s timely, organized and easily digestible. 🎉
I just wanted to come back and say thank you for your time in producing these videos they helped me to feel way more confident with the counter for a low salary offer. 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! Thank you, Andrew! Now I'm looking at the how-to resign video!
@@doanphuong1325 Yes, So I watched this video and a few others so I anticipated the salary offer to come in low. 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.
I just bust out laughing when they socialized the low ball offer. They were just out of touch with reality. They went back to the drawing table and came back with an offer I could take. Next time I'll follow your good advice.
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...
@@andylacivita wait it doesn’t end there, I referred the tips and videos to my best friend who was wanting to get out of a job of 11 years (didn’t know how to) and he begins his new job in June-So all thanks to you and keep up the good work, a tip for other make small notes of his tips in your note app and read them prior to your interview, always always be prepared.
I left a lengthy detailed write up here earlier this evening with the great success TODAY using Andrew's techniques,,,wonder what happened. His techniques work! Watch the vids make notes and prepare. The initial offer came in at the highest salary in their stated range on the job description, after following his techniques and the line in this video the revised offer was increased by 8% plus an additional 2 weeks vacay for a total of 4 🤘 Thank you Andrew!!!
Ashley! This is hands-down the nicest thing I’ve heard all day! Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I hope they’re helping you!
i got wickedly lowballed for a job. I negotiated for a couple thousand more, and because of my financial situation at the time, I then accepted, but I should have hit the exit door. DO NOT accept an insultingly lowball salary. It will nag and niggle at you, and cause your performance to decline.
When they are socializing an offer to you: * Don't socialize it back to them * Don't have any reaction * Get as much information as possible * Thank them * Ask how they come into the numbers, if it's based on the position or based on you
Super valuable advice again, Andy! Thank you. You're really helping me navigate a challenging career move at present. I would like to add, as a CX Analyst, I appreciate what you mean in regards to Sales vs retention, but without CX (and legitimate professionals), a subpar experience can tarnish sales and retention opportunities. In this climate, CX across the whole business is critical.
Thanks Andy. This will be helpful. I am immigrating soon and I am worried (anticipating actually) that I will get low offers despite my skill and experience mainly because I am "new" to the country. Glad to have found your channel in time for my preparation.
Such excellent advice! You can always take the offer if it’s higher than your current salary and keep job hunting. Love that. Try and than make it work for you. But always try!
Wow this video has so much valuable information that I ve not seen for 1.5 years of interviewing preparation information I've done. This changes my.perspective of why we ask questions un an interview.. thanks Andrew
Just wanted to thank you for all your videos and your book the interview Intervention. I graduated and read it late last year and finally landed a job. I start tomorrow 🙂 thank you sir
Hey Andrew, I would like to thank you for your awesome content. I was unemployed for 2 years and was looking for a job. I watched your and a couple of other career coaches' videos. Did proper research about the company, which gave me confidence and then opened my mouth about salary after my final interview. Got 50% hike plus retention bonus. I have nothing but a heart full of gratitude. I can not thank you enough but still Thank you! You are doing wonderful job and people are benefitting for sure🙂
I just got a job offer that's 34,000 when I wanted 39,000-40,000. I know it doesn't sound like a big difference, but at this stage of my life it would make a HUGE difference to my life. It's an offer based on what the job is worth. Shall I take it?! I'm not sure what other benefits to ask for, apparently salary is non-negotiable when I asked.
Congratulations! Watch this video on my TH-cam and zip to the last chapter about counteroffers, 12 Hiring Truths Every Job Seeker Should Know. If you need more help I have an entire Salary Negotiation Tips playlist too.
I took the lowball offer coming off being let go (explained my situation and they understood, and loved my honest approach), but now it has been 18 months and I’ve proven myself a great deal and made myself pretty invaluable to the team. Does my initial acceptance set my trajectory with them permanently? Because I need to move into something market rate or higher. Trying to time a well-received ask.
I have been negotiating for a week for a slight increase in the base and a signing bonus! Went back with a second counteroffer foregoing the bonus and now they’re saying that they can’t go higher..! It’s a great role and the salary doesn’t match up with the compensation!! Thinking about this now.. 😮😮
@@andylacivita yeah and like the the person getting interviewed is feeling pumped like yeah i got this i watched all andys videos im gonna nail this, he enters and you are waiting for him… oh man how can he now utitlize the tactics that andy put out there, on ANDY…. Forget it hes gonna get roasted 😂😂
Employers don't understand that when you pay well, you get happier employees who want to take on more responsibilities. Employers also lowball your payrate if you've been unemployed for a while, due to a layoff.
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 would've done same thing. Even if you perform better than others as the most pricey employee, it's likely you will be the first one they will let go if they like to play such a game. And it will be just extra unnecessary stress to deal with for me.
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.
Last week I was offered the job via email I wanted and they are calling me today with the official offer. When asked I told them I am seeking $250k all in with salary and commissions. They then brought me in for the third and final interview and I nailed it. So I hope today’s call will make me confident I will reach that $250k number next year. I work in sales in financial industry specifically asset management. I’m excited for the call
Andy, thank you for the great video! A question for you-when I try to negotiate/counter, should I be vague and leave it up to them to revise their figure? For example “based on the value I would bring in XYZ ways, I was expecting a bit more/something that is fair”? Or is it better to be direct in what I would be happy with? I don’t want to lowball myself out. How should I respond to “how much are you looking for?”
@@andylacivita Andy, guess what? I signed the offer yesterday! I negotiated using the tips from your videos and the company went as far as to change the HR policy on the salary band to hire me. Thank you so much!!
Hi Andrew. My name is Renan and I am from Brazil and I am living in New Zealand for over 4 I can’t talk highly enough about how motivating and inspiring your channel is. Messages clear, easy to understand and in the way you explain makes very easy to apply in your daily basis. Is it possible to talk about how to do performance reviews with your staff? Thank you in advance!
🤩 You really know your stuff! I will soon have this discussion for a job as a technician (IT). I guess this is universal since I live in Sweden:), I’ll try to use some of the info you provided 🙏🏻
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.
Favio, that is definitely true but keep in mind even if the mentions the salary upfront they might change their mind up or down based on what you bring to the table!!
@@andylacivita well I asked for "the whole package" and it was not attractive either (I remember they put the parking spot as a benefit haha). When I tried to reframe everything, they even mentioned that was the final offer. What I thought the case was is what you mentioned the pandemic makes people think they can get people on the cheap. Thank you for your videos they are helpful.
Today I got a good offer, but after analysing my costs including relocation, travel, increase in rent, for the first year I earn barely 5000 more for a lot more responsibilities
Several of my relatives and friends took jobs on the west coast of the US. When I talked to them on the phone, they all complained constantly about the high cost of living.
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 would simply follow the HR protocols. They should be communicating with you what the next steps are. I wouldn’t be overly concerned that he didn’t get back to you after you reached out to him directly.
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’m having such a hard time finding a job that has decent pay. I’m a recent college graduate with a BA in Health Informatics. I applied for a entry level job with a medical company and they only offered me $14.50. I honestly feel like that was a major low ball because can’t nobody afford to live off of $14.50.
Please do a video on your opinion of accepting interviews for practice (from jobs you aren’t that interested in). I want your personal view on it. Sensitive, controversial topic I know
I am in a dilemma. I did a recorded video interview and one of the questions was whether I was comfortable with a lower than I thought offer. 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?
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!!
So an employer asked my salary requirement and I stated that is was $70k. After going back and looking at the job post I saw that it said the pay was $80k-100k. I low balled MYSELF. Now I have an official interview tomorrow and I’m wondering how I can recover from this mistake and tell them that I need $80k not the $70k I originally stated. What do I do???
In my case, I asked for 110. They offer 100... is 10k really that big of a deal for them, big pharma? Really? I think a fight is worth it. It's only 10k difference. What do you think from your experience is such a low salary difference? It's not like I'm asking for 150...
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.
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.
@@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 like and appreciate this insight. However, I think the reverse psychology can be precieved confrontational or challenging the hiring manager. Just my opinion.
What's the deal with job ads not telling you the salary? Even when I call and ask, they say they cant tell me unless I am being interviewed. Like I just want to make sure the job of my career is going to be something that is going to get me good money.
Keep in mind, lots of times the employer is willing to go up or down depending on the skills of the candidate. That's why most don't designate a specific number!
Hey i got a problem. I am unemployed and about to get a job offer im a software engineer. But before they give me an offer it seems they are starting intense negotiations with me already. They are saying they can't offer me my expected salary or what i was getting paid my previous job and also they said they got bills to pay and what is the minimum i would take? They are started to say they have a tight budget and this is all before they have given me a number verbally or written in a formal letter. Stressing me out a lot
@@andylacivita i got the offer i wanted...basically they paid me what i was getting paid my last job when initially said they couldn't. I think the main problem was me telling them my previous pay which is always a bad idea i thought because my previous pay was high it would be ok but they tried to undercut by 20% and then u negotiate up to your previous pay if you have the ability. 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 applied for a job saying it pays 16.50 to 15. But only offered me 15 instead of 16.50 and I have a lot of experience. I feel bad. Is this considered insulting?
GREAT VIDEO! I've been working as a contractor for about 10 months and they might make me permanent after my 1 year is up. Do I have an advantage to negotiate my salary since they've already seen my work? Or will I be low balled by the company because I don't have leverage?
Working as a contractor gives the company a chance to see your work and performance. You also get to experience the company, the challenges they face, etc. You both have an advantage of understanding what to expect from the other. In most cases, people should negotiate their salary. Watch my Salary Negotiation Tips Playlist for more tips. Good luck!
Andy, not only did they offer a low ball salary to me with 10 years experience in the role they were looking for, w an Advanced degree, they RESCINDED the offer when I tried to negotiate. 😢 What do you think about that?
Ahh... I watched this 5 hours too late :( I got a lowball (in my opinion) offer of 85k USD here in Korea (with 12k USD bonus/annum), and I feel like my past experience and track record merit the industry average of around ~130k USD. Is there anything I can do after the HR manager has said he will send through the contract for me to sign? TIA, JC
How does one negotiate a raise at the top end of the salary range when their position does not bring in revenue but is more of a “soft” skill i.e. directing resident activities /programs and managing people?
I received a job offer, tried to negotiate with HR for a higher salary. They told me they would get back to me. Today I received an email with a follow up telling me they could not provide more money, and thanking me for my time to interview with them and wishing me luck on my next role. I never even declined the offer. I was taken back when I saw the email today because I was expecting they would have at least called me to discuss over the phone if they were able to meet the suggested salary I was requesting. Any suggestions? Would you call the company directly or send them an email? Has this happened to any one?
Sometimes they will in some areas where it’s not illegal. If that’s something you feel comfortable doing, then do it. It can it comes down to how badly you want the position. Good luck!
@@andylacivita thanks Andrew for your response. Your advices are really helpful, I shared some of your uploads and so far it helped them land a job. More power to you and your channel
@@andylacivita i accepted a low ball offer before which was stupid. Never got a payrise, never got a promotion, never got a pay review and didn't even get 1 performance review. It was my first mistake and my last
I think it's also a red flag if they fight you on your desired number as well but eventually give it to you. When it comes time for raises and promotions you'll constantly be told that you climbed the pay scale faster than any other employee and be shut down.
What do you do if this is your first salary job out of college but u have years of exsperiance and a hearty internship resume? How can u negotiate your salary when they feel they dont need to pay someone out of college well. This is my first salary job and i have 3 kids and i want to be paid what i know I’m worth its just a nerve racking conversation to have😫
Hi, Andrew, thanks for your video, really helpful! I had a strange job application in the past month, applied one famous airline for a treasury role, but unfortunately I was refused, but after two weeks, hr manager contacted me to reconsider me, and invited me to another digital interview, I did and passed it, after one day manager contacted me for personal interview, but after a few days, hr manager called me to ask salary expectation, I used your strategy, then she soon gave me their budget, and asked if this is my range, Andrew, do you know why everything is so strange? Refused and reconnected again, and called me to ask my salary expectation even before interview? She said she would let manager know!
wish the employers in my area dident go off of the market pay. but even if they dident they seam to think evory skilled individual is worth 22 percent below the market any ways.
Ashley. Of course, these are always possibilities but I want you to determine whether to take it as is based on your specific circumstances. If you’d like the company in the role and you need the job, then it’s a good idea for you to take it. If you feel like you want to hold out for more and can’t afford to do that by seeking out other options, then do that!
I received a job offer from a new employer who offers me the same salary I am currently earning (my bad at responding what was my current salary during the interviewing process). How can I get a better salary? Should I mention that I received a counter-offer from a current employee or another company and request that the numbers be matched? What is the best practice in this situation?
I received an offer that is less than what I made in my previous position and I will also be paying for insurance which was not an expense I had with my previous company. I am working as a remote employee in an area that is less expensive than the city in which the company is located. I was told they had just restructured their pay ranges based on the market just this past month. The recruiter said that the hiring manager felt I was a strong enough candidate to put me toward the top of the pay scale for this Senior position. I am new to this role but not new to the industry and have over 15years of experience in the interpersonal skills they are looking for. Would it be a turn-off if I countered to my current salary which is about $15K more than their offer?
Im interviewing for a company. Im in the last stage here. Submitted my case study yesterday and should be expecting feedback for the case study. I have a feeling that they are really interested and that im the one for them. But i also noticed that the HR team is sharing and re sharing linkedin posts of the role during the past couple of days, is this normal ? (Still waiting for case study feedback)
It's hard to say as every company is different. If you just turned in your case study yesterday, I wouldn't worry. Did you ask about next steps and the timing of when they'd make a decision? Watch this video on my TH-cam with the questions to ask when you are in the interview process, 3 Questions You Must Ask to Know When to Follow Up After Your Job Interview. Good luck!
What to do when u work for a company like H&M and they pay 10% below market value and defend it will: "we are a popular Company so we can afford pay less"
@@andylacivita thanks Andy! I have already started applying for other jobs. Will leave as soon I find an employer that pay fairly and don't use their brand as a way to lowball people.
honestly, my immediate reaction would exactly be the opposite. If you tell me you think the PSOITION is worth just that, then we can talk about that. 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.
so what if: I took the offer, said thank you, and that I was happy, but I wanted to discuss futehter cost of living compensation and used that to discuss the salary. for example how according to the Bure of Labor Statistics, the location I am being asked to work at is 39% higher than the national average in cost of living and used that number to negotiate salary?
You can go back. It’s not ideal and that’s something you could have factored In before you agreed to their offer, but there’s nothing wrong with simply asking if there’s a possibility based on the substantially higher cost of living. Good luck!
@@andylacivita i have not accepted yet, they said they will run up the number we settled at and that they would get back to me. Monday will be the third business day since I heard from them.... so it's a good thing I applied to multiple firms lol.
The offer was delayed than the potential employee said it would be. Learn from this session the proper tactic maybe stay patient and do some intelligence collection for later negotiation(s)
@@andylacivita Dear Andrew, Just having accepted an offer with a satisfying package. It would never be done if without your generous live boot camp on how to seek a decent job! Thanks
@Andrew LaCivita, great video! Great tips. Thank you. By the way, I usually play all videos on 150% speed (that's just how my brain works) and you sound surprisingly like Ben Shapiro :) But again, thank you!

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?
Best part about living debt free is Walking away from low offer's especially when you know your worth. 🧔
Yes, that certainly helps. Congrats on being debt free!
@@andylacivita aa
Q
Exactly! It really gives freedom in more ways than one. I don't feel like I am forced to take any old offer.
what makes you valuable? rare skills?
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!
Rick!! Dude!! Thank YOU for sharing this with me. Good luck on those interviews!!
@@andylacivita You're welcome and Thank You!
Andy’s awesome! I’ve experienced the same, and have had to purchase a monthly planner to keep track of my interviews!
Is this a genuine comment? Sounds "too good".
That's my man, happy hunting player
If they give you insultingly low at the beginning of the employment, they can also do that during the employment too.
So true!!
And they have. 🙄
All I did was follow your advice when a headhunter asked what I was looking for in salary. 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. Previously, I’d just assumed the offer was all there was and took the offer. Third round of interviews and I’m using your tools. Thank you so much! Love your content! It’s timely, organized and easily digestible. 🎉
This is so timely because I just got lowball. Thank you for your insight.👍
Hang in there Doug. And stand your ground!
I just wanted to come back and say thank you for your time in producing these videos they helped me to feel way more confident with the counter for a low salary offer. 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! Thank you, Andrew! Now I'm looking at the how-to resign video!
Love it!!!👊👊👊
Would you mind being more specific in your experience with the counter offer?
@@doanphuong1325 Yes, So I watched this video and a few others so I anticipated the salary offer to come in low. 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.
I just bust out laughing when they socialized the low ball offer. They were just out of touch with reality. They went back to the drawing table and came back with an offer I could take. Next time I'll follow your good advice.
Love to hear it Donna and glad you stuck to your guns!!
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...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I followed his videos and had 3 job offers during pandemic in India where there is immense competition💐
This is awesome Prerana!!! Thank YOU for sharing that and huge congratulations!!
@@andylacivita wait it doesn’t end there, I referred the tips and videos to my best friend who was wanting to get out of a job of 11 years (didn’t know how to) and he begins his new job in June-So all thanks to you and keep up the good work, a tip for other make small notes of his tips in your note app and read them prior to your interview, always always be prepared.
Congratulations to you, well done!
@@daniellebradley1301 thank you wishing you well🌷
@@msp2914 Thank you, you too!
I left a lengthy detailed write up here earlier this evening with the great success TODAY using Andrew's techniques,,,wonder what happened. His techniques work! Watch the vids make notes and prepare. The initial offer came in at the highest salary in their stated range on the job description, after following his techniques and the line in this video the revised offer was increased by 8% plus an additional 2 weeks vacay for a total of 4 🤘 Thank you Andrew!!!
Yeah baby!!! Love this Gavin and glad it worked out. 🎉 congrats!!!🍾🎉🎊🎈
You're hands down the best on youtube. So glad to have found you.
Ashley! This is hands-down the nicest thing I’ve heard all day! Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I hope they’re helping you!
i got wickedly lowballed for a job. I negotiated for a couple thousand more, and because of my financial situation at the time, I then accepted, but I should have hit the exit door. DO NOT accept an insultingly lowball salary. It will nag and niggle at you, and cause your performance to decline.
True words
I laughed out loud at the coffee cup. I love your style and professionalism.
We try to keep it fun and light!! LOL
When they are socializing an offer to you:
* Don't socialize it back to them
* Don't have any reaction
* Get as much information as possible
* Thank them
* Ask how they come into the numbers, if it's based on the position or based on you
Super valuable advice again, Andy! Thank you. You're really helping me navigate a challenging career move at present. I would like to add, as a CX Analyst, I appreciate what you mean in regards to Sales vs retention, but without CX (and legitimate professionals), a subpar experience can tarnish sales and retention opportunities. In this climate, CX across the whole business is critical.
Hugely critical Candace!!
Thanks Andy. This will be helpful. I am immigrating soon and I am worried (anticipating actually) that I will get low offers despite my skill and experience mainly because I am "new" to the country. Glad to have found your channel in time for my preparation.
Focus on what you want Lila and don’t worry about. Wow them and it’ll all work out!! 💪
Such excellent advice! You can always take the offer if it’s higher than your current salary and keep job hunting. Love that. Try and than make it work for you. But always try!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this video has so much valuable information that I ve not seen for 1.5 years of interviewing preparation information I've done. This changes my.perspective of why we ask questions un an interview.. thanks Andrew
So glad you found it Pat!
Just wanted to thank you for all your videos and your book the interview Intervention. I graduated and read it late last year and finally landed a job. I start tomorrow 🙂 thank you sir
You’re so welcome!!
Hey Andrew, I would like to thank you for your awesome content. I was unemployed for 2 years and was looking for a job. I watched your and a couple of other career coaches' videos. Did proper research about the company, which gave me confidence and then opened my mouth about salary after my final interview. Got 50% hike plus retention bonus. I have nothing but a heart full of gratitude. I can not thank you enough but still Thank you! You are doing wonderful job and people are benefitting for sure🙂
That is awesome! 😊👊 Great to hear @Gratitude, thank you so much for your kind words!
Excellent advice. Thank you. I'm glad I watched the entire video. Considering job offer, need to respond by Monday morning.
Lots of luck on your negotiation!!
Thanks a lot for your video on salary negotiation. I did that and got exactly what I asked for including change of my job title 🥰. God bless you
Loved hearing this! I'm glad it helped! 👊
I just got a job offer that's 34,000 when I wanted 39,000-40,000. I know it doesn't sound like a big difference, but at this stage of my life it would make a HUGE difference to my life. It's an offer based on what the job is worth. Shall I take it?! I'm not sure what other benefits to ask for, apparently salary is non-negotiable when I asked.
Congratulations! Watch this video on my TH-cam and zip to the last chapter about counteroffers, 12 Hiring Truths Every Job Seeker Should Know. If you need more help I have an entire Salary Negotiation Tips playlist too.
I took the lowball offer coming off being let go (explained my situation and they understood, and loved my honest approach), but now it has been 18 months and I’ve proven myself a great deal and made myself pretty invaluable to the team. Does my initial acceptance set my trajectory with them permanently? Because I need to move into something market rate or higher. Trying to time a well-received ask.
It does not. Word hard, you’ll get rewarded!! Hopefully!!!
great content. im going to use this technique on each interview. see what i can find out what the most i can get paid for that particular job.
Good luck Robin!!
I have been negotiating for a week for a slight increase in the base and a signing bonus! Went back with a second counteroffer foregoing the bonus and now they’re saying that they can’t go higher..! It’s a great role and the salary doesn’t match up with the compensation!! Thinking about this now.. 😮😮
Good luck!!
This is so interesting!! Glad that you're now a career coach than a recruiter. Awesome stuff
Thank you! I am too!!
Wow! What a powerful question to reply with! A&B
Imagine if you walk in to an interview room and see Andrew. Walk of out…. 😂
😂😂😂 That's funny!
@@andylacivita yeah and like the the person getting interviewed is feeling pumped like yeah i got this i watched all andys videos im gonna nail this, he enters and you are waiting for him… oh man how can he now utitlize the tactics that andy put out there, on ANDY…. Forget it hes gonna get roasted 😂😂
Hysterical 🤣
Employers don't understand that when you pay well, you get happier employees who want to take on more responsibilities. Employers also lowball your payrate if you've been unemployed for a while, due to a layoff.
Andy, thank you for the great video!
You’re welcome!
Wow, phenomenal advise.
Thank you so much Crystal!
Great video! I really enjoy hearing your insight. Thanks so much for sharing this advice.
You’re so welcome!!
Thanks, Andy. This video is helping me
Love it! You’re welcome!
Great video! I’m waiting on acceptance news then negotiations time! Thanks for this video I’m prepared!
Best of luck!
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
If you felt uncomfortable with the revised offer, then I'd say you made the best choice. No one wants a higher salary and a target on their back.
That’s crazy. What industry and type of role do you work in?
I would've done same thing. Even if you perform better than others as the most pricey employee, it's likely you will be the first one they will let go if they like to play such a game. And it will be just extra unnecessary stress to deal with for me.
It’s always the “BLAH BLAH BLAH” for me 🤣 These videos are awesome. Thanks so much! 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Last week I was offered the job via email I wanted and they are calling me today with the official offer. When asked I told them I am seeking $250k all in with salary and commissions. They then brought me in for the third and final interview and I nailed it. So I hope today’s call will make me confident I will reach that $250k number next year. I work in sales in financial industry specifically asset management. I’m excited for the call
Best of luck!
I see low ball offers as a red flag. Personally, I would say no. They said a lot in that gesture about how you are valued. Just my opinion.
Andy, thank you for the great video! A question for you-when I try to negotiate/counter, should I be vague and leave it up to them to revise their figure? For example “based on the value I would bring in XYZ ways, I was expecting a bit more/something that is fair”? Or is it better to be direct in what I would be happy with? I don’t want to lowball myself out. How should I respond to “how much are you looking for?”
When you counter you should be specific about what you want but be flexible regarding how that help you achieve the number.
@@andylacivita Andy, guess what? I signed the offer yesterday! I negotiated using the tips from your videos and the company went as far as to change the HR policy on the salary band to hire me. Thank you so much!!
@@hsj3282 yahooooo!!! And congratulations!!!!🎊🎈🎉🍾 I’m so happy for you Hayoung!!
Hi Andrew.
My name is Renan and I am from Brazil and I am living in New Zealand for over 4
I can’t talk highly enough about how motivating and inspiring your channel is. Messages clear, easy to understand and in the way you explain makes very easy to apply in your daily basis.
Is it possible to talk about how to do performance reviews with your staff?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you for that suggestion Renan!
Awesome video! Thank you
My pleasure!
#BootCamperDrew Andy is just so sharp. Thanks, man. I appreciate this video, dude!
Best wishes from Atlanta.
Glad you enjoyed it my #Bootcamper!
🤩
You really know your stuff!
I will soon have this discussion for a job as a technician (IT). I guess this is universal since I live in Sweden:), I’ll try to use some of the info you provided 🙏🏻
Thank you!! I hope it helps Aziz!!
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.
Favio, that is definitely true but keep in mind even if the mentions the salary upfront they might change their mind up or down based on what you bring to the table!!
@@andylacivita well I asked for "the whole package" and it was not attractive either (I remember they put the parking spot as a benefit haha).
When I tried to reframe everything, they even mentioned that was the final offer. What I thought the case was is what you mentioned the pandemic makes people think they can get people on the cheap.
Thank you for your videos they are helpful.
@@faviorc2 Sorry to hear Favio, but hang in there!
Today I got a good offer, but after analysing my costs including relocation, travel, increase in rent, for the first year I earn barely 5000 more for a lot more responsibilities
Counteroffer!!
Several of my relatives and friends took jobs on the west coast of the US. When I talked to them on the phone, they all complained constantly about the high cost of living.
I have this exact fear and then this video appeared! 🙇 Thank you algorithm! 🙂
👊❤️
Superb explanation! thank you for the video :D
You are so welcome!
Andy what happened to the jobsearch minibootcamp videos? i was listening with joy on my long evening hikes :(
They were public until yesterday at 11 AM. If you want to see how to access them, please email us at support@milewalk.com!
I was planning on watching them later this week. :(
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.
When I heard 400,000 I didn't believe my ears and I had to rewind to confirm.
True story.
Me too!
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 would simply follow the HR protocols. They should be communicating with you what the next steps are. I wouldn’t be overly concerned that he didn’t get back to you after you reached out to him directly.
How do you give a Salary expectation if the recruiter insists on an amount at the end of the interview?
Can u do a video on that?
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.
You are great Andy!!!
Thank you so much Marco! Have a great weekend buddy!
GREAT Advice 👍 THANK YOU 🙏
You’re welcome!
Do employers actually admit to reason B? An honest answer on their part doesn't seem to be in their best interest.
They all do!
😂 hang in there!!
I’m having such a hard time finding a job that has decent pay. I’m a recent college graduate with a BA in Health Informatics. I applied for a entry level job with a medical company and they only offered me $14.50. I honestly feel like that was a major low ball because can’t nobody afford to live off of $14.50.
I agree. But, you don’t need to settle for that. You’re obviously well credentialed and need to keep targeting companies!
Your client is a total boss
Damn right!! 👊👊👊
Please do a video on your opinion of accepting interviews for practice (from jobs you aren’t that interested in). I want your personal view on it. Sensitive, controversial topic I know
I wouldn’t do it Mauricio. Only go on interview later you actually care about. It’s hard to be sharp and care if you don’t actually care!! 😂
I am in a dilemma. I did a recorded video interview and one of the questions was whether I was comfortable with a lower than I thought offer. 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?
Push for the increase!! 🤞 good luck!!! 🍀
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?
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!!
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
So an employer asked my salary requirement and I stated that is was $70k. After going back and looking at the job post I saw that it said the pay was $80k-100k. I low balled MYSELF. Now I have an official interview tomorrow and I’m wondering how I can recover from this mistake and tell them that I need $80k not the $70k I originally stated. What do I do???
Nothing. Don’t worry about. Negotiate at the end.
In my case, I asked for 110. They offer 100... is 10k really that big of a deal for them, big pharma? Really? I think a fight is worth it. It's only 10k difference. What do you think from your experience is such a low salary difference? It's not like I'm asking for 150...
Yes. A 10% ask is not a big deal. Go get it!!
Thanks
You’re welcome!
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.
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.
@@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 like and appreciate this insight. However, I think the reverse psychology can be precieved confrontational or challenging the hiring manager. Just my opinion.
I appreciate your thoughts.
What's the deal with job ads not telling you the salary? Even when I call and ask, they say they cant tell me unless I am being interviewed. Like I just want to make sure the job of my career is going to be something that is going to get me good money.
Keep in mind, lots of times the employer is willing to go up or down depending on the skills of the candidate. That's why most don't designate a specific number!
I got both answers…
What if you know what they pay the other people in the same position but it’s low to you. 53k for an accounting position with a bachelors degree.
Ignore it. Focus on what they will pay you based on how you perform in the interviews!
Hey i got a problem. I am unemployed and about to get a job offer im a software engineer. But before they give me an offer it seems they are starting intense negotiations with me already. They are saying they can't offer me my expected salary or what i was getting paid my previous job and also they said they got bills to pay and what is the minimum i would take? They are started to say they have a tight budget and this is all before they have given me a number verbally or written in a formal letter. Stressing me out a lot
Hang in there. You got this!!
@@andylacivita i got the offer i wanted...basically they paid me what i was getting paid my last job when initially said they couldn't. I think the main problem was me telling them my previous pay which is always a bad idea i thought because my previous pay was high it would be ok but they tried to undercut by 20% and then u negotiate up to your previous pay if you have the ability. 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
This client makes a crazy amount of money 😮💨
There’s lots of money for you too!!
any tips for asking for a basic pay … plus a generous performance pay … for example 5% of every 1m you add to revenue … catch my drift ?
I applied for a job saying it pays 16.50 to 15. But only offered me 15 instead of 16.50 and I have a lot of experience. I feel bad. Is this considered insulting?
GREAT VIDEO! I've been working as a contractor for about 10 months and they might make me permanent after my 1 year is up.
Do I have an advantage to negotiate my salary since they've already seen my work? Or will I be low balled by the company because I don't have leverage?
Working as a contractor gives the company a chance to see your work and performance. You also get to experience the company, the challenges they face, etc. You both have an advantage of understanding what to expect from the other. In most cases, people should negotiate their salary. Watch my Salary Negotiation Tips Playlist for more tips. Good luck!
Andy, not only did they offer a low ball salary to me with 10 years experience in the role they were looking for, w an Advanced degree, they RESCINDED the offer when I tried to negotiate. 😢 What do you think about that?
Ahh... I watched this 5 hours too late :(
I got a lowball (in my opinion) offer of 85k USD here in Korea (with 12k USD bonus/annum), and I feel like my past experience and track record merit the industry average of around ~130k USD.
Is there anything I can do after the HR manager has said he will send through the contract for me to sign?
TIA,
JC
If you haven't signed it you can still negotiate. Good luck!
How does one negotiate a raise at the top end of the salary range when their position does not bring in revenue but is more of a “soft” skill i.e. directing resident activities /programs and managing people?
I received a job offer, tried to negotiate with HR for a higher salary. They told me they would get back to me. Today I received an email with a follow up telling me they could not provide more money, and thanking me for my time to interview with them and wishing me luck on my next role. I never even declined the offer. I was taken back when I saw the email today because I was expecting they would have at least called me to discuss over the phone if they were able to meet the suggested salary I was requesting. Any suggestions? Would you call the company directly or send them an email? Has this happened to any one?
that was definitely not the company for you.
Hi Andrew, what if the employer asks for your payslip or previous pay? What is the best way to respond? Thanks
Sometimes they will in some areas where it’s not illegal. If that’s something you feel comfortable doing, then do it. It can it comes down to how badly you want the position. Good luck!
@@andylacivita thanks Andrew for your response. Your advices are really helpful, I shared some of your uploads and so far it helped them land a job. More power to you and your channel
a low ball offer is usually a red flag for things to come
Usually.
@@andylacivita i accepted a low ball offer before which was stupid. Never got a payrise, never got a promotion, never got a pay review and didn't even get 1 performance review. It was my first mistake and my last
I think it's also a red flag if they fight you on your desired number as well but eventually give it to you. When it comes time for raises and promotions you'll constantly be told that you climbed the pay scale faster than any other employee and be shut down.
@callmecraig3046 very true!!
What do you do if this is your first salary job out of college but u have years of exsperiance and a hearty internship resume? How can u negotiate your salary when they feel they dont need to pay someone out of college well. This is my first salary job and i have 3 kids and i want to be paid what i know I’m worth its just a nerve racking conversation to have😫
Check my salary negotiation playlist. The process is the same no matter who you are!! 👊👊
Hi, Andrew, thanks for your video, really helpful! I had a strange job application in the past month, applied one famous airline for a treasury role, but unfortunately I was refused, but after two weeks, hr manager contacted me to reconsider me, and invited me to another digital interview, I did and passed it, after one day manager contacted me for personal interview, but after a few days, hr manager called me to ask salary expectation, I used your strategy, then she soon gave me their budget, and asked if this is my range, Andrew, do you know why everything is so strange? Refused and reconnected again, and called me to ask my salary expectation even before interview? She said she would let manager know!
I'm sorry to hear this, No, I have no way of knowing why this process has been so strange. There are lots of other companies out there. Good luck!
wish the employers in my area dident go off of the market pay. but even if they dident they seam to think evory skilled individual is worth 22 percent below the market any ways.
Hang in there!!
But I what if HR says “well this is the most we pay for this position” the medial field is soooo low
Ashley. Of course, these are always possibilities but I want you to determine whether to take it as is based on your specific circumstances. If you’d like the company in the role and you need the job, then it’s a good idea for you to take it. If you feel like you want to hold out for more and can’t afford to do that by seeking out other options, then do that!
I received a job offer from a new employer who offers me the same salary I am currently earning (my bad at responding what was my current salary during the interviewing process). How can I get a better salary? Should I mention that I received a counter-offer from a current employee or another company and request that the numbers be matched? What is the best practice in this situation?
I received an offer that is less than what I made in my previous position and I will also be paying for insurance which was not an expense I had with my previous company. I am working as a remote employee in an area that is less expensive than the city in which the company is located. I was told they had just restructured their pay ranges based on the market just this past month. The recruiter said that the hiring manager felt I was a strong enough candidate to put me toward the top of the pay scale for this Senior position. I am new to this role but not new to the industry and have over 15years of experience in the interpersonal skills they are looking for. Would it be a turn-off if I countered to my current salary which is about $15K more than their offer?
Im interviewing for a company. Im in the last stage here. Submitted my case study yesterday and should be expecting feedback for the case study. I have a feeling that they are really interested and that im the one for them. But i also noticed that the HR team is sharing and re sharing linkedin posts of the role during the past couple of days, is this normal ? (Still waiting for case study feedback)
It's hard to say as every company is different.
If you just turned in your case study yesterday, I wouldn't worry.
Did you ask about next steps and the timing of when they'd make a decision? Watch this video on my TH-cam with the questions to ask when you are in the interview process, 3 Questions You Must Ask to Know When to Follow Up After Your Job Interview. Good luck!
What to do when u work for a company like H&M and they pay 10% below market value and defend it will: "we are a popular Company so we can afford pay less"
You leave!
@@andylacivita thanks Andy! I have already started applying for other jobs. Will leave as soon I find an employer that pay fairly and don't use their brand as a way to lowball people.
I’m sending you good vibes!! 👊👊👊
honestly, my immediate reaction would exactly be the opposite.
If you tell me you think the PSOITION is worth just that, then we can talk about that. 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.
And you should. That’s the entire point.
so what if: I took the offer, said thank you, and that I was happy, but I wanted to discuss futehter cost of living compensation and used that to discuss the salary. for example how according to the Bure of Labor Statistics, the location I am being asked to work at is 39% higher than the national average in cost of living and used that number to negotiate salary?
You can go back. It’s not ideal and that’s something you could have factored In before you agreed to their offer, but there’s nothing wrong with simply asking if there’s a possibility based on the substantially higher cost of living. Good luck!
@@andylacivita i have not accepted yet, they said they will run up the number we settled at and that they would get back to me. Monday will be the third business day since I heard from them.... so it's a good thing I applied to multiple firms lol.
Is more than three business days a bad sign?
Got lowballed 15k less than the market value
So to hear. Hope this video was helpful. Be sure to check out my salary negotiation playlist for more tips.
What does she do for $400,00.00 AND needs to negotiate?
She’s a revenue offices. Earns 5 times that.
Do you have any videos on how to get more interviews/offers? I am trying to get into a recruiting role and I have many transferable skills.
Check my job search challenge playlist.
The offer was delayed than the potential employee said it would be. Learn from this session the proper tactic maybe stay patient and do some intelligence collection for later negotiation(s)
Without a doubt!!
@@andylacivita Dear Andrew, Just having accepted an offer with a satisfying package. It would never be done if without your generous live boot camp on how to seek a decent job! Thanks

@Andrew LaCivita, great video! Great tips. Thank you. By the way, I usually play all videos on 150% speed (that's just how my brain works) and you sound surprisingly like Ben Shapiro :) But again, thank you!
