@@Goateduzi yup! They purposely put you up with a recruiter or HR perosn that has no idea how you skills will bring value...so there goes your arguments for more pay and vacay lol.
@@MrAngrybaldguy tbh, I never thought of that. That def makes sense tho. If the recruiter doesn’t know the value of the skills then they will be less inclined to budge of the salary. You just got me hip to this lol
Also it’s great to bring up cost of living and inflation (especially in todays world 2022). Take a look at the break down hourly averaging 40 hours a week. Look at what it breaks down to in regards of minimum wage. If you’ll be making minimum wage…. Then the employer should see that as a valid concern.
This is not unrealistic. I have a month vacation, basically 4 weeks paid vacation, plus 15 days sick time I can use for illness. Be sure to also negotiate flex time, 2 months work from home for summer, so you can go RVing with the family. If you add value they will give you what you want. It's not unrealistic. This is the norm in business culture.
Thank you for the helpful video. I find it easier to ask for a range instead of the exact figure when discussing salary. your advice about providing a range of acceptable salary sounds relatable. I also like the idea about preparing a list of things your employer could provide you instead of giving money. Having better health insurance or more vacation days for a year, or signing-off bonus doesn't sound off the limits.
These people are master manipulators. Even if you are the best person they will try to negotiate lower. This is not a swap-meet or garage sale. Tell them what you want. Professionally decline any negotiation. Negotiations make you emotional. They feed on that. Hold your ground. Good Luck.
I agree 100% and your advise trumps all the other B.S. crap that's out there. I would tell them actually what I want. They know I'm good and what I can bring to the table. I don't like negotiating for other nickel and dime things. What I want is the salary. If they say no, I'd rather decline a lesser offer or having them throw in other stuff. I'd simply decline the offer for less money professionally and be done with it.
Gentlemen it is a matter of going to literally any store that you like the price of the clothes and trying stuff on and ask for a honest unbiased opinion NOT From a sales person because they’ll tell you anything ask a customer, what do you honestly think? Based on your figure type only buy clothes that flatter you , NOT make you look older or fatter. I am in California if I could I would go with you to shop, because I’m very very good at fashions and give you my honest opinion as you tried on several outfits .I want you to look your best!! Good luck gentlemen!
One time during interview employer asking what my expectation. I only raised about $1-$2 which is market rate and hoping for counter offer but what I got was "Thank you for your time" We will contact you if something changed. Never heard anything from them.
That’s the problem with these fucking companies so many of these companies are self-bastards and they try to pay people so little it’s just so frustrating especially when you’re a hard worker with experience and your qualified! Yeah it’s just so annoying. But hey what can you do just move on until you find somebody who’s willing to pay you what you’re worth don’t sell for less or take lowball offers
I guess this is why those people will make more money than you do. I’m never afraid to ask for too much. It always works out in my favor. My first job even before I was finished with engineering school was $78K. That’s wasn’t even a big deal for the company. They were just like “yeah we can definitely make that happen”. Never hurts to ask. The worst they can say is no. If you find comps and ask for the high end then you’ll get above average. People are just too afraid to ask. They didn’t even try to counter when I asked for it. Plus they gave me a bunch of other things than just that money. A closed mouth can’t eat. So speak up. ❤️
@@Fouroclocklover38 Wow hateraid. Everything I say you seem to want to put down even on positive encouraging comments. I can't imagine living that kind of troll life. That friend I mentioned in my previous comment (the reason I was watching this video 9 month ago or whatever) he got an extra 6K from a 3 minute conversation. I don't think you need to worry about any of this stuff anyway, because you can only negotiate salary once you get the job, and who would want to hire such a sour downer?
In my old age I would likely ask a prospective employer how much they expected me to be worth to their company. No employer can pay someone more than the value an employee can contribute. The first half of my life I was an employee and then I started my own business at age 41 in 1979. I wish I had started sooner.
ha ha.. imagine the employer agreed on the 2 week vacation. but when u want that 2 week vacation, its not approved.. or "have you finished your work? (while adding more to the table)"
I fix floors for a living. I do my job faster than estimated time with good results, but the thing is, once im done i just get sent to the next job. Should i just slow down or Is it time to ask for a raise ? Time is money, after all. Thanks in advance
If you are negotiating a salary for a remote job in a different city, how do I come to an agreement on salary? The cost of living in the city I live in is lower than the city that the remote job is located. Do I ask for the salary that the company is located or do I ask for a salary based on my current location?
I'm by no means an expert on this, but ask for the salary for the skills you are bringing to the table, forget about lifestyle expenses. Are you doing the same job as someone else and have the same experience? Then you should make the same amount of money.
thanks for this super useful content! Curious, but what happens if you have two competing offers, that you are weighing equally? Is it ethical to negotiate for a raise, and let the HM know you will get back to them in max 1-2 days, since you need to clarify with the other company? Sometimes it's difficult because you could use more information for both parties!
Great question, Sophie! We have some other videos that might help with that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Uew97lbwE0.htmlfeature=shared ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CqubDTwmBoM.htmlfeature=shared
Preparation and practice. Science. And data. Not greed. Not lies. Be truthful and genuine. You can't cover up with lies and falsities anyway, because any employer worth working for can see through that crap anyway and you just shoot yourself in the foot when they don't offer you other opportunities or things you are not aware of.
It depends on your current salary as well. Expecting a 50% rise because it advertised is ridiculous. Never assume that asking for a higher salary because they will offer a lower one which meets your expectations as you may out price yourself against other candidates. Some firms will pay your asking price if it's in range
Please help!!! I asked for a certain amount and they ok'd it during my first interview. I haven't gotten the job yet, but after thinking about it I'd like to ask for more. Is it too late? Do I ask during my 2nd interview or when they offer me the job?
@@TheSublimeLifestyle Not true! You're much more likely to be able to negotiate a salary at the higher limit because by default it's going to be a less competitive market because you're higher up the ladder. If you're starting out at £18,000 and theres 100 other people who have applied companies can just move onto the next applicant if anyone tries to negotiate.
Great question. If you have done your research and the salary you quoted matches the "market value" for that role in that location, you can use this to explain your reasoning for the quote. Additionally, if the role called for a bachelor's degree, and you have a master's degree, you can use your advanced education as justification. -CC
You do not have because you do not ask. I was put on the spot over the phone when I thought we were just going to talk about my experience. I told them I’d do my research and get back to them.
Omg I was just telling my friend this. He got a way super lowball offer and he’s considering not even trying to negotiate because he’s been doing that same job as a volunteer for 2 years at a different place. I had to tell him that means you have MORE experience than the average entry level person and that means you should make more and not less. Why don’t they teach this in school???!?
@@Fouroclocklover38 College? I think college should prepare us holistically for the career world. Its what they advertise that they do, but don't actually do.
Lol, maybe under 1% of negotiations go like that. There is always pushback, some may say no this is the final offer, some cases where you want to negotiate they will just go with another candidate.
He cute too but I’m applying for minimum wage jobs not high paying ones so I don’t have the power to negotiate because I’ve tried it and they will move on and say ok then next!
@@Indeed thank you for your reply. I have done negotiation in email . They came with certain amount increase over the phone and email. The salary offered is low and it is below 20percentage of my expectations . I have sent email to them again to increase 10percentage with few benefits like transport and extra vacation. Today I am waiting for their reply. Is that good idea or I will lose my negotiations. If they say they can't offer and we look another candidate how to convince them ? It's urgent
It's ok to make your expectations clear, but at a certain point in the negotiations an employer may say that their current counter offer is final and they can provide nothing further. At that point you will need to decide to take the offer or politely decline. -CC
@@Indeed ok thank you. They will straight forward say this what they can make offer? But I am seeing the Job post again in Linkdin. I have made call to the employer they said now hold we will contact. Do I need to think I lost or they are looking someone with low offer?
I lost job because of negotiations . They haven't told this is the final and decided to look another candidate in between and informed me later they have filled the position.
This is more of a Hollywood story. The guy didn't even answer the legite question. So his answer was 'I've been able to see how industry leaders operate.' Is that a reason for giving him $95 000. I hope that's his yearly salary. People in America seem to earn a lot of money.
This is total fantasy here.. most employers have a set amount and know very well another lowball will happily work for almost nothing..so negotiations don’t go far ..why pay you $98,000 when i can pay 3 illegal workers $10 an hour or export over to India for 4 rupees a week do the same thing .. 🤷🏼♂️
@@jacksonchilds6543 no he is not completely ill-informed. The first part is Correct but the Second part about India and other Immigrants is not correct.
That has to be one of the worst, most unrealistic, videos I have ever watched. Nowhere on this earth has or will a call ever go like that....🤣🤣😂😂🤦🤦🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is highly unrealistic. Other than remaining positive and confident, the rest is a fairy tale style role play.. Its really dumb and terrible acting lol. There is literally almost no value here for any viewer...
Job post tell that earn up to 35k so I apply. Got a interview and ask me what is my expected salary, I said higher than my previous job in a relevant industry . Got a final interview and still ask me what is my expected salary, but this time I ask what is the maximum salary for this job position they can offer. They say that the maximum is 35k, but it is base on the applicant experience. So I told them that please assess my job experience if this will meet your criteria. Ended up with a job offer that is very low (18k). Sad thing before the job offer they contacted me after the final interview and inform me that I pass. The recruiter tell me that they will give me 27k salary offer for approval. But before that they require me to pass a pay slip from my previous job. My previous job only pays 16k, yes one of the lowest salary I got since it is pandemic, I have no choice to accept that offer in that time. I think the reason why the Job offer is only 18k is because they base it on my previous job salary. But the problem is ,that job is not related to the job I am applying to, and it is a different industry. I am earning 25k on my previous previous job that related to the job I am applying to. Question is, It would be fair if they will base the job salary offer on my previous job that is not relevant to the job I am applying for? Also job post tells that they accept 12 months experience and 2 years is much better. I got a 1 and 1/2. Should I negotiate? The job position I am applying to is a specialist and the set up is a night shift. If you gonna compare it to my previous Relevant job, the set up is a day shift, job position or ranking is lil bit lower to a specialist, but they pay me 25k. Is it worth it if I still continue to this kind of company?
Do you live in America and if so, What state do you live in??? In most places it is 10000% ILLEGAL for potential employers to ask what your previous/current job salary is. Let alone asking for hard proof like a pay stub. Absolutely illegal. You may have a very hefty substantial lawsuit on your hands in your favor.
