Andrew LaCivita How do I create great techniques to increase my salary and compensation if you have been employed for over 2 1/2 years and achieving 75% more than your counter partners as Account Managers?
I literally cannot thank you enough for this!! A recruiter I was talking to kept asking me for a range, but because i'd seen this I just kept deferring and saying that they should give me an offer based on what they think I'm worth because I did my interviews well. Ended up getting an offer for 40K more than the high-end of the range I was actually expecting!!
I absolutely love your advice about the recruiter early on in the process. From my experience, often times the recruiters are wrong about comp range and half of them don’t check the actual job description.
You are so dang entertaining to watch. Thanks for bringing your personality to every video you make. I LOVE your salary negotiation tips. This is so valuable for anyone negotiating their salary.
You are tooooo kind (as always). Thanks for this Heather. I'm also very much looking forward to taking in your new video on the cover and resume. I'm in the throws of live job search boot camp I offer and it's been round the clock stuff for the last two weeks and the next two weeks, but I always enjoy taking a little break to watch YOU! BTW, my long hours is no excuse for you NOT to pick up the phone! 😀😂😆
"It's money time!" Lol, love it! Your answer was spot on - there are so many other aspects of a job that can be considered instead of solely focusing on your salary. Love your videos and advice as always, Andy! Cheers!
I like Andrew’s videos but on this I’m not sure. Why not ask the recruiter what their budget is or range is? Otherwise why go for a job that’s isn’t going to pay at least the min you want. All depts have budgets wouldn’t you want to know early as possible to not waste time later on.
I literally love your videos, there is so much power you’re giving to people like me who are bad at negotiating when their own salary comes into question.
I am writing my response to the job offer. Whatever will happen next, I can handle it because... you have prepared me very, very well. This is for my special son. Thank you for being there, Andrew. 😊🙏
This video is GREAT! I find myself currently in the negotiating phase and this video was so awesome for helping me to keep focused on what was important and feeling confident and comfortable in the negotiating process.
Super helpful tips on getting paid what you're worth during the job interview process! I am looking for a new job after working 30 years for the same software company, so listening to all your videos getting tips and tricks on going back to interview after all these years of not doing it has helped me tremendously!
Good advices! I have _always_ let *them* say a number (salary), which I can then react to. As you pointed out, if you mention a number it may be *lower than what they usually pay* for that type of job, and you won't get what you deserve. (Edit: type-o)
Thanks Andy, this information is so valuable! I made so many mistake along my job hunting including being specific and modest about my salary expectations too early. I will be applying your wisdom in my next job interview for sure!!
Love it! I previously dropped the ball in negotiating the relocation portion. I am now in the middle of another senior-level position interview with relocation. Any advice?
Thank you for this video (and all your videos). I got an exciting offer today only to find out that it was £30k below what was originally discussed. The benefits package is good but I cannot see a £30k value and this is a significant difference to where I am at. I told the recruiter at interview what my last salary was! I don't know what to do.
I already have a job and have a annual performance review coming up. I have accomplished a lot in this last year, how do I ask for a raise in this review? Can you make a video with some tips for getting the most that I can? Love the videos, great work!
I am a Project Manager and am seeking to be a Senior Project Manager. At this point, I've built my stack and I've already had a conversation with my manager letting her know that this is my goal. We discussed 3 points that is expected from a Senior which are leading by example, analyzing our cases thoroughly, and being positive. I've shared with her how I've been executing all 3 areas in my current role. Her response was that she'll speak with the Director abt the next steps. Fingers crossed I'll get the promotion but when or if I fo get the promotion, what if I am not happy with the compensation? Am I able to use these techniques or is there actually a different way to approach this as it is a promotion rather than a new job? I look forward to hearing you.
You're speaking confidence to me. By the time im done listening I'll know what im doing too. I've never had these talks with anyone due to not having parents in my adult life. I work hard, i have the skills however, i fail miserably at marketing myself forgetting this is a business transaction. Thank you for sharing. I know my worth now and it's time to get paid. Away with these pennies I'm getting.....
I remember a few years back, I was making 75k. I applied for a company, the recruiter asked for my desired salary. I told them $120k but it was negotiable later. I wasn't really looking for a new job and didn't really want to leave. $120k was the price to get me to leave but this seemed like a good opportunity. After the interview process, they gave me an offer of 80k. I immediately declined. The recruiter kept trying to convince me to take it, I kept declining. They came back with 90k and a 10k bonus, and Gave me 4 weeks of vacation instead of the original 2 weeks and 15% bonus instead of the original 10%. When I started, I found out that the budget for the brand new position ranged from $58k to $65k. I stayed for a year and went back to my old job. Old employer gave me 89k and kept my %15 bonus and 4 weeks vacation. I literally work about a quarter of what I was working when I left.
Thanks again for all this great content. Got me super prepared to land a position that has excellent culture, excellent pay and benefits… I got to learn the Ins and Outs of interviewing because of these videos…
Thank you so much for your video. I will test it today with recruiter meeting. I start looking for a new job after I’m senior level which my currently company lower paid me on the market now.
I swear every job doubt I have, the first thing I do is go to your YT channel and look for a video! Quick question, I already passed my interview and Im waiting on HR to send me my paperwork for a Part time job. I already have a bachelors degree since December and the previous supervisor (got a higher role) said I might get a higher salary but my current supervisor doesn't know about it yet. Any tips on how I could mention my salary to him?
@@andylacivita another company wants to interview me but I jjust accepted an offer, should I listen to them? I just let them know that I accepted an offer already
I wish this video popped up earlier in my recommended. I already signed a conditional job offer. Not sure if I should even try negotiating when they send a formal job offer for signing.
??? This video is THE BOMB! Thanks, Andy. 'It's money time' for me at the moment. After having no less than 5 interviews with this company (I'm an EA) and no-one bringing up compensation, they emailed me (we're in different time zones) asking what my expectations are. I will be using these amazing tips! I still have a few questions on what my day-to-day would be like, given the time zone thing. At what point should I bring that up/how would you suggest I approach it??? Big hugs from Spain :)
Love it! Glad the tips helped. On the question, I would try to get that info early in the process. It’s a straightforward question, especially considering the time zone difference. Go get ‘em!
@@andylacivita Thanks Andy, I plan to 'go get 'em'! All 5 interviews were with different people and only 20 minutes a pop so I didn't get to ask many questions. In response to their question on salary expectations, I essentially said 'I look at compensation holistically, send me the offer and I'll consider it and get back to you'. I intend to ask for some time to discuss the compensation so could bring up my schedule then. Thanks again, you're a legend and I have told SO MANY friends and family about your channel :)
Andyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! They made me an offer :) I wasn't crazy about it so I followed your advice and asked for a time to speak. We spoke, a few days later they sent me a revised offer - with no less than a 33% increase on the base salary BABY!!!! Huge thanks to you and your team for all of your help, guidance and wisdom! Once I get a little capital behind me I plan to join the boot camp :D
Thank you Andrew , I just received an offer today by the the HR after three interviews ( last one with the president) . The offer is very lower than what I’m expecting. The hr scheduled to call me back next Monday. How should I communicate with her ? Appreciate your help.
Should I negotiate if the employer met the lower end of my pay range that I mentioned to them? I would like to get the higher end of the pay range, of course. It’s more than I made at my prior position but I I’m not sure that it’s appropriate for me to ask for more since I already accepted their offer with out negotiating. I wish I had seen this sooner!
Andrew- I received a job offer through email yesterday But the pay was not discussed and I was afraid to ask. there is a salary range in the job post. What should I do to know exactly what I’m going to be paid ??
Just had an HR guy call me to set up the interview. He straight up said this pays $XXk per year. It was 20k below my target for that job and 15-20 below industry. I told him - “there must be more to talk about as far as total compensation goes. I made a lot more doing the same thing when I left the previous employer.” I had the interview on Friday - curious to see if they make an offer and studying how to handle it.
The Journal advice was great - really useful idea to implement - I should definitely do that to have powerful stories. My last interview was terrible on this front (and that was largely my fault), but I definitely could have been more ready with my stories and my examples. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Can you do a video about the "corporate payscales like G1 and H5 or whatever" that you mention around 9 minutes? I'd never heard of those before and it really peaked my curiosity!
Im about to receive an offer but its abit lower than what I was hoping, issue is I have been out of work for 9 months and its an employer market right now. I have seen stories of people having offers rescinded because they just wanted to discuss the compensation... I think later down the line ~6 months in or when probation ends I can have that conversation much easier, thoughts?
Hello! Great vid! I would love to hear your perspective on this (if it has changed) since the pandemic. I feel like we're in a job market now, where employers may have taken a financial hit, so they may be expecting existing employees to take on more responsibilities for the same pay. ...And potential employees want to get paid what their worth, but may not be able to take those chances. Thanks!
Hello thanks for the great content. I made a mistake and gave the recruiter a range on the first call. Now I got a second interview. Can I change what I said after they offered me the job based on the factors you mentioned?
Hi Andrew, Thanks for making your monumentally helpful videos. I am happy to say that I found your information on resumes and cover letters. Now on to my question? Many online profiles that are mandated require that you enter a salary expectation. Many times the opportunity is fabulous but the process enforces standardization and thus it will not let you bypass the money question? Any advice? Thanks, Gary
What if I already said it:( They offered me a bit more than I asked for in the beginning. Now I think what if I said less than they were planning. Because they offered me the job really so quickly. Was it because they really loved me or because my pay was lower to them.
Would bringing up the average age in a profession be a bargaining chip to bring to the table? The average age in my trade is 47 and I'm 20 years younger that that average with a decade of experience.
Everyone needs to negotiate upfront....before "just agreeing"...even for crappy jobs...one can get $1-2-3 bucks more an hour; driving jobs, laboring, etc. Just smile...reiterate your skills, training, with a smile. And..."always be shaking your head 'up-and-down' like a boss"....they'll treat you like a boss. When someone can't pay...walk away.
Thank you for the great tips. I have a benefits and compensation conversation coming up this week for an opportunity that I am pursuing. I have held off on providing a number. I’ll use your tips to evaluate the offer and counter accordingly. Let’s see how I do.
I got one job offer from a very famous company. But their offer was way below than both industry level and my worth. I made a counter offer but no reply then. Actually they liked me a lot, and process was very quick. I believed to got super offer. I don't know what went wrong.
I feel like when giving my resume to a place I'm interested in working, I don't think it's any of their business where I actually am currently working. Because they can use that information to call the place I work and get information about me that could be false. I have often wondered about keeping the company name off my resume if I'm still employed there and I wonder how the company I'm interested in working at would respond to that. I'm happy to prove that I'm currently employed by showing some information on pay stubs. But ultimately, these days, there isn't much friendly or honesty in business. So, I don't think companies should be allowed to discuss my business behind my back during negotiation.
@@andylacivita Suuuuuuurrrrrrre. Why wouldn't they ? They will want a reference. Do you think dishonest talent acquisition personnel who will sell their mom's kidney to shave $0.05 off their companies bottom line will not take every opportunity to gather as much information as possible to use against said potential new hire ? They have no problem paying people a salary that will not put a roof over someone's head and they feel zero guilt. So why wouldn't they call their employer ? They don't need to actually know who I am working for. ALL they need to know is what my job duties and responsibilities are so they know where my experience is at. AND they need proof that what I'm claiming is true which can be proven through asking questions. And I would offer pay stubs with my companies name trimmed off. That should suffice and seems fair and reasonable. Recall: When the rich rob the poor it's called BUSINESS. When the poor fight back it's called violence.
Hi Andrew. I really love your videos. Thanks a lot for posting! OMG OMG OMG. I´m almost nine months unemployed and when, I finally got a job interview for an amazing worldwide company, I did the first mistake: they asked my salary expectation and I answered because I has so nervous 😒 What should I do now If I get a job offer????? Is there a way to fix that????? OMG OMG OMG.
Rodrigo, first, breathe my man! LOL. It's okay. When you DO get to the offer stage, just ask them to make a fair offer. Then, counter offer. If they say, well, that's within the number you gave us, just say you've now had a better chance to see how the value you will bring will help them and reviewed the vacation, benefits, etc.....and want this much more!
Im in a situation where in pre screening interview recruiter asked me the salary and i was not expecting the question that early and i really want the job so gave them a range and later when i checked their range for this senior position is way more.Now next round of interview is this wk with hiring manager and i am thinking how i am going to negotiate on what I initially told them.Very nervous.Thanks
I've worked for one year in a company under a contract for basically the entry level salary and now they offered me an extension of the contract for two more years but mentioned nothing about the salary increase. I wonder what could this mean? Do they want to limit the possibility of raising the salary in the next two years, or do they like me but mentioned nothing about the salary hoping that I will not say anything about it?
Thanks for the tips Andrew, you really know how to boost a job seeker's confidence without feeling like an impostor. I'm looking forward to starting your bootcamp. PS: Was than ice lemon water or a 'shaken-not-stirred' Bond beverage?
Crap, I broke rule number one...I discussed money the first interview...now an offer is pending and I need a higher starting salary. Housing is outrageous where the job is....how do I negotiate now??
6 months ago your consultation landed me a senior position at the Dept of Urban Development in San Francisco. A Federal position. I'm white, though my qualifications were a perfect fit. My odds were Zero. Phone interview 1, They liked me. Phone interview 2+3 nailed it. Not only did I get the slot, I up'd my income GS11/7 start which in SF is $102k. I've outperformed and I'm worth GS12. You're the person to get the notepad out and clock that paper. Let's face it making money and getting undervalued is unjust. There needs to be some level of equanimity. Get paid what your worth, or leave. That's exactly what you did for me. You instill the confidence of a savvy corporate professional. Thank you sir.
I would like to run a specific case with you, about not giving a number. I am looking for a job as a new lawyer in Israel. I know the range for big law, and I know what number I will be happy with, and what number is my lowest (looking for a small firm). Finding jobs offer in Israel is by using 2 companies that provid job offer (you have to put a number), but you can't know which firm posted the job until they call. Now, its important to me to work certion hours, and also to get paid high (I am older then most new lawyer - I am 31). Not writing a number will probably get me a lot more interviews, but can be a waste of my time. I just started my search, and got a few interviews lined up. In my situation, will you still recommend not to write a number and the hours?
I made it through the interviews and now in preoffer. Unfortunately when the recruiter asked me of current salary and expected salary I pointed them out to him. I am not sure what happens if I quoted a higher value that they are willing to pay? Can they rescind the offer without letting me know? Is there a polite approach to write to them that will allow them to send their and then discuss. Its two days since I sent them the email with my current and expected salaries.
Good Day Sir! I have a final interview tomorrow but today I've watch your video and I'm frozen to know that i shouldn't give any amount of my expected salary but I've already did i give numbers on my initial interview and up to my second interview now i wonder why they still called me to attend my final interview can you please give me a tip on how I'm going to answer tomorrow if they ask me again regarding my expected salary since i already gave it thank you!
Every helpful, any specific tips on how to convince a person who works at a magazine to hire you to run the digital presence as currently they need someone to get results?
Thanks Emma! For your question, search my interviewing and job search videos. For any job opportunity you need to make the case of how you'll be value to the company. Good luck!
Hi Andrew, I made my first mistake of telling exact no in first interview but even worse I hesitated to ask what I want. I know that Job Offer pays a lot more (at least 2-3 times more) than what I had asked for. I have applied for remote job(USA) and would be working from India. Should I ask them for more right away OR should I ask in the end. If I ask in the end then it will look like I have changed my words. Is there any way to ask recruiter for industry standard for that job post? Is there any difference in salary if we are working at different locations but with same Job role.
Hey Jackson, I would check out a few on How to Get Promoted Using this Resume Building Tool and also my reflect your way to success videos. There are aspects in there to gather the data to support your arguments for getting promoted. I have more, but it's inside my (premium) Career Accelerator Program.
What if your on a contract currently but they plan on hiring you perm? I took a 12000 pay cut relocating from DC to Atlanta. Was unemployed but have this contract to perm job now and they already told me they want to hire me on as perm either after my 3 month contract ends or before... but she told me they were capping this role around 40K, I was getting paid around $50k in dc... also I have a masters degree which should make me worth more by itself and my experience. I’m considering interviewing for jobs again and your negotiation tactic.. the negative is employers keep telling me that Atlanta cost of living is less that’s why they don’t want to pay me my DC salary... but apartments here cost almost the same as DC... and I’m not getting regular PTO accrued or holiday pay while I’m on contract with the holidays approaching... I feel like I got the short end of the stick and feel not valued
Keep at it. You usually get what you settle for, so please settle for more! I would not buy that nonsense about the cost of living. There are cost differences throughout the US but they’re not significant between those cities. Keep interviewing until you find a company you love who values you!
What if it’s a new company? The job is entry level but I have my masters but less experience. Should I just go for industry average? I want a little higher because I have my masters.
Your masters degree is not what entices an employer to pay more. The value you can contribute is what the employer cares about. A bachelors degree with more relevant experience is more valuable than a masters degree without it.
Hey Andy. I’m a new subscriber and Im lovin’ your videos. I would like to know what to do if i already gave a range about the salary and they are paying more. What can i do at this point to fix it. Im getting the offer on monday?
Hello Andrew! Thank you for the video! I am a recent graduate and I just had a phone interview with a HR recruiter from a company. I wasn't expecting for the recruiter to ask me about a salary so early; however, due to lack of experience, I gave a number a lot lower than what the job actually pays. For example, I asked for 52k and the jobs pays 58k. on average. However, they have asked for at least 1 year of experience and I have 2 because I took many internships. Do you have any advice for making the greats sin according to this video? Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you!
@@andylacivita But when they hear you were making $60,000, they'll know they won't have to let go of as much of the company's money to appeal to you. How does it work?
How do you deal with the "what salary do you expect" when you are applying for a position with the same company that you currently work for so you already know about the benefits etc?
Be upfront and tell them what you have to offer. Ask the recruiter what essential skills the company is looking for. Don't ask for an amount, instead ask them what they think you are worth and make you an offer ; )
what if moving from a big firm (1000-5000 employee sized) to a very small firm (51-200 employee sized) if the candidate is already under paid according to the market standards ?
I was asked salary in the first phone interview...i ask for the average of the postion in my area, and the interviewer basically said "oh we can do better than that" and listed all of the benefits and perks that come with the job...i was so shocked. But im kind of wondering whether or not that was a good thing...i got the second interview, but should i hold off on compensation during the second interview or any other suggestions??

I swear every job doubt I have, the first thing I do is go to your YT channel and look for a video! Quick question, I already passed my interview and Im waiting on HR to send me my paperwork for a Part time job. I already have a bachelors degree since December and the previous supervisor (got a higher role) said I might get a higher salary but my current supervisor doesn't know about it yet. Any tips on how I could mention my salary to him?
This video was really good for my negotiation.
So glad to hear it!
@@andylacivita another company wants to interview me but I jjust accepted an offer, should I listen to them? I just let them know that I accepted an offer already
I wish this video popped up earlier in my recommended. I already signed a conditional job offer. Not sure if I should even try negotiating when they send a formal job offer for signing.
If you didn’t receive the full offer the first, you can counter offer based on “new” information.
@@andylacivita Sounds good. Thanks for responding!
Love your transparency.
It’s a wonderful way to go through life!!
??? This video is THE BOMB! Thanks, Andy. 'It's money time' for me at the moment. After having no less than 5 interviews with this company (I'm an EA) and no-one bringing up compensation, they emailed me (we're in different time zones) asking what my expectations are. I will be using these amazing tips! I still have a few questions on what my day-to-day would be like, given the time zone thing. At what point should I bring that up/how would you suggest I approach it??? Big hugs from Spain :)
Love it! Glad the tips helped. On the question, I would try to get that info early in the process. It’s a straightforward question, especially considering the time zone difference. Go get ‘em!
@@andylacivita Thanks Andy, I plan to 'go get 'em'! All 5 interviews were with different people and only 20 minutes a pop so I didn't get to ask many questions. In response to their question on salary expectations, I essentially said 'I look at compensation holistically, send me the offer and I'll consider it and get back to you'. I intend to ask for some time to discuss the compensation so could bring up my schedule then. Thanks again, you're a legend and I have told SO MANY friends and family about your channel :)
Andyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! They made me an offer :) I wasn't crazy about it so I followed your advice and asked for a time to speak. We spoke, a few days later they sent me a revised offer - with no less than a 33% increase on the base salary BABY!!!! Huge thanks to you and your team for all of your help, guidance and wisdom! Once I get a little capital behind me I plan to join the boot camp :D
This information is GOLD
Glad you enjoyed it Hadi!!
Thank you Andrew , I just received an offer today by the the HR after three interviews ( last one with the president) . The offer is very lower than what I’m expecting. The hr scheduled to call me back next Monday. How should I communicate with her ?
Appreciate your help.
I have a video that can help. Search my TH-cam for the video, How to Negotiate a Lowball Salary Offer. Good luck!
Should I negotiate if the employer met the lower end of my pay range that I mentioned to them? I would like to get the higher end of the pay range, of course. It’s more than I made at my prior position but I I’m not sure that it’s appropriate for me to ask for more since I already accepted their offer with out negotiating. I wish I had seen this sooner!
Yes. Negotiate. 100%
@@andylacivita Even thought I already accepted the offer? I have not signed the contract yet.
Andrew- I received a job offer through email yesterday But the pay was not discussed and I was afraid to ask. there is a salary range in the job post. What should I do to know exactly what I’m going to be paid ??
Chel. Honestly, I would call them!!!!
Just had an HR guy call me to set up the interview. He straight up said this pays $XXk per year. It was 20k below my target for that job and 15-20 below industry. I told him - “there must be more to talk about as far as total compensation goes. I made a lot more doing the same thing when I left the previous employer.”
I had the interview on Friday - curious to see if they make an offer and studying how to handle it.
Good luck👊👊
There was a suggestion on another site about asking what the salary band is up front to not waste your time and theirs. What do you think about this?
I’m not sure what site that was but I would avoid that.
The Journal advice was great - really useful idea to implement - I should definitely do that to have powerful stories. My last interview was terrible on this front (and that was largely my fault), but I definitely could have been more ready with my stories and my examples. Thanks for reminding me of that.
Can you do a video about the "corporate payscales like G1 and H5 or whatever" that you mention around 9 minutes? I'd never heard of those before and it really peaked my curiosity!
Can you please share downloadable link of the journal please? Thanks .
What happens if they say i don't want to waste your time or ours. So what will you be be requiring
Im about to receive an offer but its abit lower than what I was hoping, issue is I have been out of work for 9 months and its an employer market right now. I have seen stories of people having offers rescinded because they just wanted to discuss the compensation... I think later down the line ~6 months in or when probation ends I can have that conversation much easier, thoughts?
Hello! Great vid! I would love to hear your perspective on this (if it has changed) since the pandemic. I feel like we're in a job market now, where employers may have taken a financial hit, so they may be expecting existing employees to take on more responsibilities for the same pay.
...And potential employees want to get paid what their worth, but may not be able to take those chances.
Thanks!
Haley. Yes, some companies have taken a hot with the pandemic but this doesn’t change my opinion or approach on getting paid what you’re worth!!
Do recent grads have the right to negotiate salaries?
MY GRIL yes. Final answer. :)
Yes especially when u have done an internship
Hello thanks for the great content. I made a mistake and gave the recruiter a range on the first call. Now I got a second interview. Can I change what I said after they offered me the job based on the factors you mentioned?
It’s okay Fatemeh. You can still negotiate!
Underrated channel!
Appreciate that!
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for making your monumentally helpful videos. I am happy to say that I found your information on resumes and cover letters.
Now on to my question? Many online profiles that are mandated require that you enter a salary expectation. Many times the opportunity is fabulous but the process enforces standardization and thus it will not let you bypass the money question? Any advice?
Thanks,
Gary
You’re awesome 👏 👍!!!
Thank you so much for all the information
You’re welcome!!
What if I already said it:( They offered me a bit more than I asked for in the beginning. Now I think what if I said less than they were planning. Because they offered me the job really so quickly. Was it because they really loved me or because my pay was lower to them.
I'm not sure Laila because there are so many different factors. The great news is you got the job!
Would bringing up the average age in a profession be a bargaining chip to bring to the table?
The average age in my trade is 47 and I'm 20 years younger that that average with a decade of experience.
I would avoid any commentary on age whether you’re younger or older.
Everyone needs to negotiate upfront....before "just agreeing"...even for crappy jobs...one can get $1-2-3 bucks more an hour; driving jobs, laboring, etc. Just smile...reiterate your skills, training, with a smile. And..."always be shaking your head 'up-and-down' like a boss"....they'll treat you like a boss. When someone can't pay...walk away.
Brilliant, ...thank you, so glad I came across this particular video of yours. Thank you!!
You’re so welcome!!
Thank you for the great tips. I have a benefits and compensation conversation coming up this week for an opportunity that I am pursuing. I have held off on providing a number. I’ll use your tips to evaluate the offer and counter accordingly. Let’s see how I do.
Good luck!!!
Thank you.Any suggestions on shadowing, things to ask/ observe/do?
This is my most favorite!!!!!
👊👊👊
I got one job offer from a very famous company. But their offer was way below than both industry level and my worth. I made a counter offer but no reply then.
Actually they liked me a lot, and process was very quick. I believed to got super offer. I don't know what went wrong.
I’m not sure why they wouldn’t reply Tunca. Seems odd to me!!
Apart from other things I like the light! How could you manage to get it this bright positioned the camera against the Sun!
I feel like when giving my resume to a place I'm interested in working, I don't think it's any of their business where I actually am currently working. Because they can use that information to call the place I work and get information about me that could be false. I have often wondered about keeping the company name off my resume if I'm still employed there and I wonder how the company I'm interested in working at would respond to that. I'm happy to prove that I'm currently employed by showing some information on pay stubs. But ultimately, these days, there isn't much friendly or honesty in business. So, I don't think companies should be allowed to discuss my business behind my back during negotiation.
They won’t call your current employer.
@@andylacivita Suuuuuuurrrrrrre. Why wouldn't they ? They will want a reference. Do you think dishonest talent acquisition personnel who will sell their mom's kidney to shave $0.05 off their companies bottom line will not take every opportunity to gather as much information as possible to use against said potential new hire ? They have no problem paying people a salary that will not put a roof over someone's head and they feel zero guilt. So why wouldn't they call their employer ?
They don't need to actually know who I am working for. ALL they need to know is what my job duties and responsibilities are so they know where my experience is at. AND they need proof that what I'm claiming is true which can be proven through asking questions. And I would offer pay stubs with my companies name trimmed off. That should suffice and seems fair and reasonable.
Recall: When the rich rob the poor it's called BUSINESS. When the poor fight back it's called violence.
Hi Andrew. I really love your videos. Thanks a lot for posting! OMG OMG OMG. I´m almost nine months unemployed and when, I finally got a job interview for an amazing worldwide company, I did the first mistake: they asked my salary expectation and I answered because I has so nervous 😒 What should I do now If I get a job offer????? Is there a way to fix that????? OMG OMG OMG.
Rodrigo, first, breathe my man! LOL. It's okay. When you DO get to the offer stage, just ask them to make a fair offer. Then, counter offer. If they say, well, that's within the number you gave us, just say you've now had a better chance to see how the value you will bring will help them and reviewed the vacation, benefits, etc.....and want this much more!
@@andylacivita Thank you so much! Will follow your hints, for sure. 😁🙏👍
um my curent salary is around 60k a year most local places would threow that out instantly.
Keep at it!!
Im in a situation where in pre screening interview recruiter asked me the salary and i was not expecting the question that early and i really want the job so gave them a range and later when i checked their range for this senior position is way more.Now next round of interview is this wk with hiring manager and i am thinking how i am going to negotiate on what I initially told them.Very nervous.Thanks
Don’t worry. Wow them and you can always counteroffer at the end.
I've worked for one year in a company under a contract for basically the entry level salary and now they offered me an extension of the contract for two more years but mentioned nothing about the salary increase. I wonder what could this mean? Do they want to limit the possibility of raising the salary in the next two years, or do they like me but mentioned nothing about the salary hoping that I will not say anything about it?
Just make your case for an increase!
Loved ALL the inputs, very useful !
Great to hear!!
Great video thanks a lot, you really spread good vibes 💪🏼
You’re welcome!!
Great advice! I’m just not sure I understood the last part. Do you recommend always counteroffering or no?
Counter always unless the offer completely blows you away!!
Thanks for the tips Andrew, you really know how to boost a job seeker's confidence without feeling like an impostor. I'm looking forward to starting your bootcamp. PS: Was than ice lemon water or a 'shaken-not-stirred' Bond beverage?
LOL! Love it Jorge!!
Crap, I broke rule number one...I discussed money the first interview...now an offer is pending and I need a higher starting salary. Housing is outrageous where the job is....how do I negotiate now??
It's okay you can recover. As you move into the process you learn more about what the job really entails. Lean on that and demonstrate your value.
Thank you so much I was able to get $15000 plus on my initial offer.👏👏👏
Uh, Yeahhhhhhhhh! Outstanding and huge congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 to you. Love to hear this!!
6 months ago your consultation landed me a senior position at the Dept of Urban Development in San Francisco. A Federal position. I'm white, though my qualifications were a perfect fit. My odds were Zero. Phone interview 1, They liked me. Phone interview 2+3 nailed it. Not only did I get the slot, I up'd my income GS11/7 start which in SF is $102k.
I've outperformed and I'm worth GS12. You're the person to get the notepad out and clock that paper. Let's face it making money and getting undervalued is unjust. There needs to be some level of equanimity. Get paid what your worth, or leave. That's exactly what you did for me. You instill the confidence of a savvy corporate professional. Thank you sir.
You’re so welcome James. So glad to hear it!! 👍🤜👊🤛
can i request additional alllowance after job offer on top of expected salary?
cfw cfw you sure can. Good luck!!🍀
I would like to run a specific case with you, about not giving a number.
I am looking for a job as a new lawyer in Israel.
I know the range for big law, and I know what number I will be happy with, and what number is my lowest (looking for a small firm).
Finding jobs offer in Israel is by using 2 companies that provid job offer (you have to put a number), but you can't know which firm posted the job until they call.
Now, its important to me to work certion hours, and also to get paid high (I am older then most new lawyer - I am 31).
Not writing a number will probably get me a lot more interviews, but can be a waste of my time.
I just started my search, and got a few interviews lined up.
In my situation, will you still recommend not to write a number and the hours?
This material is gold.
T Shelton thank you so much!
I made it through the interviews and now in preoffer. Unfortunately when the recruiter asked me of current salary and expected salary I pointed them out to him. I am not sure what happens if I quoted a higher value that they are willing to pay? Can they rescind the offer without letting me know? Is there a polite approach to write to them that will allow them to send their and then discuss. Its two days since I sent them the email with my current and expected salaries.
Good Day Sir! I have a final interview tomorrow but today I've watch your video and I'm frozen to know that i shouldn't give any amount of my expected salary but I've already did i give numbers on my initial interview and up to my second interview now i wonder why they still called me to attend my final interview can you please give me a tip on how I'm going to answer tomorrow if they ask me again regarding my expected salary since i already gave it thank you!
Who decides the salary if not recruiters and HRs?
The hiring officials.They’re the ones who actually do the jobs.
@@andylacivita Hiring officials are different from HR. Who are they exactly?
How is the best way to negotiate? Email or phone call?
Phone call! Good luck!
@@andylacivita Thanks so much. Loved your video!
Every helpful, any specific tips on how to convince a person who works at a magazine to hire you to run the digital presence as currently they need someone to get results?
Thanks Emma! For your question, search my interviewing and job search videos. For any job opportunity you need to make the case of how you'll be value to the company. Good luck!
Hi Andrew,
I made my first mistake of telling exact no in first interview but even worse I hesitated to ask what I want. I know that Job Offer pays a lot more (at least 2-3 times more) than what I had asked for. I have applied for remote job(USA) and would be working from India. Should I ask them for more right away OR should I ask in the end. If I ask in the end then it will look like I have changed my words. Is there any way to ask recruiter for industry standard for that job post? Is there any difference in salary if we are working at different locations but with same Job role.
Negotiate at the end!!
If I may ask how much is a general manager in retail salary in wisconsin
Don't you have a video for getting a raise, after a few years of working somewhere? Your videos are great and a game changer.
Hey Jackson, I would check out a few on How to Get Promoted Using this Resume Building Tool and also my reflect your way to success videos. There are aspects in there to gather the data to support your arguments for getting promoted. I have more, but it's inside my (premium) Career Accelerator Program.
BTW, we're going to be having more videos on this topic too.
What if your on a contract currently but they plan on hiring you perm? I took a 12000 pay cut relocating from DC to Atlanta. Was unemployed but have this contract to perm job now and they already told me they want to hire me on as perm either after my 3 month contract ends or before... but she told me they were capping this role around 40K, I was getting paid around $50k in dc... also I have a masters degree which should make me worth more by itself and my experience. I’m considering interviewing for jobs again and your negotiation tactic.. the negative is employers keep telling me that Atlanta cost of living is less that’s why they don’t want to pay me my DC salary... but apartments here cost almost the same as DC... and I’m not getting regular PTO accrued or holiday pay while I’m on contract with the holidays approaching... I feel like I got the short end of the stick and feel not valued
Keep at it. You usually get what you settle for, so please settle for more! I would not buy that nonsense about the cost of living. There are cost differences throughout the US but they’re not significant between those cities. Keep interviewing until you find a company you love who values you!
Sir... you are just terrific!!
Thank YOU!!
What if it’s a new company? The job is entry level but I have my masters but less experience. Should I just go for industry average? I want a little higher because I have my masters.
Your masters degree is not what entices an employer to pay more. The value you can contribute is what the employer cares about. A bachelors degree with more relevant experience is more valuable than a masters degree without it.
Hey Andy. I’m a new subscriber and Im lovin’ your videos. I would like to know what to do if i already gave a range about the salary and they are paying more. What can i do at this point to fix it. Im getting the offer on monday?
Just make sure to counteroffer when you get it. You’ll have new information once they present it to you!
This anybody know what the download for the journal is located? I can’t seem to find the link or something please me to the journal. Thank you
Which journal are you referring to Jose? Happy to help!
Fantastic approach loved it !
Glad you liked it Sunil!
Hello Andrew! Thank you for the video! I am a recent graduate and I just had a phone interview with a HR recruiter from a company. I wasn't expecting for the recruiter to ask me about a salary so early; however, due to lack of experience, I gave a number a lot lower than what the job actually pays. For example, I asked for 52k and the jobs pays 58k. on average. However, they have asked for at least 1 year of experience and I have 2 because I took many internships.
Do you have any advice for making the greats sin according to this video? Any feedback would be helpful.
Thank you!
Does this work if you are already shared your previous salary?
It does.
@@andylacivita But when they hear you were making $60,000, they'll know they won't have to let go of as much of the company's money to appeal to you. How does it work?
How do you deal with the "what salary do you expect" when you are applying for a position with the same company that you currently work for so you already know about the benefits etc?
Just say you’re open.
Be upfront and tell them what you have to offer. Ask the recruiter what essential skills the company is looking for. Don't ask for an amount, instead ask them what they think you are worth and make you an offer ; )
Very helpful thanks so much!
You’re so welcome Anita!
what if moving from a big firm (1000-5000 employee sized) to a very small firm (51-200 employee sized) if the candidate is already under paid according to the market standards ?
There is not such thing as market pay. You’re not under paid or over paid. Those are internal perspectives not reality.
@@andylacivita thanks, do we have great tactics to negotiate higher salary during small firm interviews, please advise
I was asked salary in the first phone interview...i ask for the average of the postion in my area, and the interviewer basically said "oh we can do better than that" and listed all of the benefits and perks that come with the job...i was so shocked. But im kind of wondering whether or not that was a good thing...i got the second interview, but should i hold off on compensation during the second interview or any other suggestions??
Man you are the best!
Appreciate that Hassan!!
What if they give you one. I just interviewed and they said, “ok this position pays $16-$19” then what?
Then keep interviewing and wow them and negotiate for $19 or more!
Great ideas and worth trying...
Thanks Richenel!
It is better if in the beginning you already know the salary that they can offer because it is a waste of time going to the process
No. It’s better to go in and show them why you need to get pad commensurate with the value you’ll provide. Companies will pay more if they get more.
Great tips - you're so experienced! Love your point about not offering a number upfront as well as all your video of course!! Deirdre. X
Thank you so much Deirdre! Appreciate those kind remarks!
