How To: Negotiate Your Salary in a Job Offer (& make more $$$)

Thank you for this video! I will check back in once I hear back from my counter offer :)

Dayum girl u so fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

This is super helpful. Thank you!
Just one question... How do you negotiate when the offered salary is higher than expected? If they're offering me X, they're probably willing to pay me more, but how do I go about asking for more that when their offer is well above market value already?

i am expecting to get a job offer tomorrow, and i plan on negotiating, because i will have the same job as my friend who works there, and i have a certification that he doesn't, and i have some job experience.

Always counter offer

Do you only do it for women? Or do you do it for everyone?

Do I know you?

Thanks, Erin. I love you so much! And I'm so grateful for the fact that you exist, and you're sharing your wisdom, and knowledge with us! Thanks so much! I send a hug from Manizales, Colombia.

I liked parts of Never Split the Difference but honestly is was more fluff than anything else and he tells everyone to say verbatim 'how am I supposed to do that'. The book could have been a great 10min ted talk.

I think this advice depends on the position and the field you’re in. The customer service job I applied to was bulk hiring and had a default starting wage. I had no experience in that particular position but loads of customer service in my career. I felt like I had no leverage however.

@AdviceWithErin can you do a video on how to be successful in an interview with more than one interviewer?

Thank you so much for your content! I have an upcoming interview and have be watching your videos and feeling more confident with each view. Thank you.

Hi Erin! I really want to thank you for your advice! I'm a recent college graduate and I was offered my first job last week. I used your advice for negotiating my salary, and it worked! I was so nervous asking about it, but it was unbelievable that it worked and I ended up getting more than I was initially offered. It felt great standing up for myself. Thank you so much, again!😊

What I didn’t get is like should I negotiate in any case? If i think that’s salary is okay… or like I always should cause they always underpay…

What do you do when the salary range is posted on the job description?

thanl you so very much for your help

🖤

Salaries in the US are way more attractive

I'm so glad I found you. Thank you!!

I think one great video idea is to do a practice/mock negotiation with a family member/friend of yours that hasn’t done any/has done little wage negotiation before and give them feedback. Thanks for the great videos as always Erin!!

Question I started a job with an agreed salary, and certain amount of hours required of me to work per week. Slowly I’ve been working well over the 48hrs a week we agreed on, when I spoke to my DM she said yeah but that’s why you can earn bonuses. I explained that bonuses were an incentive for my sales, that was not included in my pay and amount of hours I would put in weekly. Say 48 hrs was what I was to work slowly, now I’m doing almost 70 hours a
Week, how would you ask for a raise at this point only being with a company for 8 months.

Hi Erin!
Quick question, is it possible to negotiate salary AFTER being offered the position? Even when you may have already put a number on it.
I, apparently, did not make enough research before that first interview. Also, I hope my question was clear.
Thank you in advance!

What if I'm the second pair of jeans and ask for a higher salary?

Great video and advice as always.
Thank you

This girl doesn't sound like she's actually negotiated a salary.

She sounds like she's internalized all her Dads advice about what to say in theory.

I just negotiated my salary for a job offer and am currently waiting for a final yes/no. I did get an interim response while the hiring manager checks with the company that sounded very promising (essentially if I am willing to commit they will meet me at my counter offer). This is the first time I have ever tried to negotiate salary and I was very nervous, but I went in projecting confidence and respect and I definitely think it made a difference!

Any advice on a disclosed wide salary range of 74-120? Obviously want the higher end (and have more than enough experience) but afraid of being shut out. I interviewed with the same company a few years ago and lost out for this reason. Why include a range they don’t intend on honoring? 😰

My salary is in the 90th+ percentile…. I can’t use the market salaries online. So I am pushing the boundaries most of the time. Unfortunately, I am in the situation where I passed all the interviews and they want to hire me. They came back with $70k+ less than what I make now. After falling out of my chair I said that taking a pay cut is not possible. Now HR is going back to the hiring manager about this. No idea what is going to happen.

I wish I had this advice 8 years ago.

Great video! Question when responding to the offer letter, with regards to pay and negotiating for more/ asking for the budget range, should it be verbal or can it be by email? Ty!!

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for giving such great advice! I recently crushed a job interview - got the offer letter the next day - and one of the questions they asked was "what is your expected salary?". I remembered one of your videos which suggested that I ask "what is the typical pay for this position?". If I hadn't asked that question, I would have settled for about 10-15k less than what they would've given me! I start my new job next week. Again, thank you so much!

Great advice here Erin! And it's fun advice too....negotiations don't have to be painful...unless you're a used car salesperson...ouch!
During my last interview/negotiation process...I had left my job months earlier (my choice, not theirs) and as such, the company I was interviewing with knew I did not have current employment. They made an offer of a salary...and I thought about it...and countered. But what? You have NO JOB to counter with? Well true, but I did have over 30 years experience behind me, and my "unemployment" time, was my choice...which means I'm not living paycheck to paycheck...and have some flexibility. Did I get the increase I asked for? No, I didn't, but most times, it does work. If you don't ask, you won't get an increase in the offer. So go ahead and learn how to ask. Keep it not personal and if you don't get the raise...well you still got an offer. And if they say no and you had another offer on the table...maybe they say yes? Decision made. Haha.

why would i take career advice from a young bimbo lmao

I just want to be your best friend ❤ how can you be so amazing, cute, beautiful and professional? I'm in love, for real ❤

Great salary negotiation advice, and presented very well too 👍

I used to run the office for the Department of Marketing for a local university. Never Split the Difference was their text for a professional sales course.

What happens when you fill out the application online and the only options are salary ranges, what do you do then?

I just saw your linkedin and that you studied at Edinburgh Napier university! What a small world!

The Unverifyable Claim that the first Offer has a weaker stance is a Recruiter Trick. The whole Power Dynamic of the recruitment process is having the interviewd negotiate against themselves in their head and prostrate themself in a demeaning ritual because for them it is personal (Where and how do I spend 30+% of my life), for the company "It's just professional".
This kind of Advice comes from HR People who either never understood that they are the Wardens of the Camp, or who don't want you to change the game. Because Advice is a longer sell, then actual solutions.

Thank you for all the great info in this video! I hope that I'll be at a point soon where I can put your advice to practice!

Thank you internet big sister. Your advice and tips have hugely benefitted. Thanks for your Kindness

Hi Erin, do you think Easy apply jobs on Linkedin that ask for salary expectation when applying screen off people automatically based on result?

NEED ADVICE. The range posted on the job was 50-70k. Phone screen was told the same range again and they asked my range and I said 75-78k, but i don’t want that number to deter them from continuing me as a candidate. I got an interview with the hiring manager she really loved me and kept saying im a perfect fit. Did another 6 seperate interview with the team in 1 day and they all loved me. They took me out to lunch after and the hiring manager restated that “you know the range is 50-70k” and i said yes and she said great i just wanted to make sure you knew. I got a job offer the next day for 70k so top of their range. I want to negotiate 75k but am scared they will recind. Should I? The 75k is based on what other companies have offered and on my market research

Do people also negotiate salary during promotion?

what do i do if i said a number during the first interview but i dont know what the range was? all it said was “competitive”

Great advice Erin! Love your helpful tips...you made negotiation a whole lot less scary. Keep up the great job!!!

You're awesome! Keep more of this coming!

About to deploy these techniques as we speak B)

Thanks a lot Erin this really helped
