Folks, while I have a very popular (maybe even the most popular video on RU-vid on this topic), I thought it was time to reshoot it and update it based on the many comments and questions I was getting from the first one! (You can watch the 2018 version here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-mNcEctZQY.html. Let me know what you need and your thoughts on this version with the extras. Also, please make sure to SUB to the channel for new videos weekly plus live office hours on Thursdays!
Andrew, i had a interview yesterday and she asked me my per hour. I work for the company and this would be a lateral move for me. I did tell her my per hour rate, but the issue is that i work overtime. This doesn’t take into account my bonus and overtime pay. I would like to reply to hiring manager and give her my annual salary or should i wait for my offer letter?
I've had this question so many times in the first interview, so not a recruiter. And what usually happens is they try to start answering all of those other factors mentioned as if they're questions, then they ask me again. Like, "you'll be doing this and working with these people. We have these kinds of training opportunities and the benefits package includes... Now, what kind of salary do you expect?" I try asking them for their budget/range, but if they dodge it like I dodged the first question, it's like a stalemate, and when those happen, the interviewee loses.
I had this today and it felt like it became a bit of a Mexican stand off / almost slightly confrontational. I really didn't want to go any further down that path so just gave them a figure. I found it really hard to follow Andy's advice :(
Andrew, you are awesome. I changed my resume according to your format and I hear interviewers telling me that my resume is impressive. I have three different interviews this week. One company even considered me for 3 different positions. One company invited me to apply for a position, that would be the 4th interview should I decide to apply. - love from Philippines 🇵🇭
@@andylacivita absolutely. By the way, that company who considered me for 3 different positions, (one twice the pay of the original position I have applied for, the other 3 times the pay from the original), was impressed by my 10 reasons why I think I wanna work there. It works. 💗💗💗
@@1maiteam Yeah baby! I remember laughing so hard when I was prepping the talk for that video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RnNf_ap76iY.html). Glad it helped you!!!
Update‼️‼️ Employed. 💕 I just had my job offer earlier. It is for the company who considered me for three positions. I got the role that pays 3 times higher than the position I originally applied for. Thank you Lord for Andy.💕
Andy, I used this technique and it was spot on! I also have used your other techniques and I was granted an on site interview to a awesome company! Now I am anxiously waiting for a call back to see if I was selected for the job! Either way it turns out I want to say Thank You for everything Sir. To any skeptics try the techniques, believe in yourself, and above all just be natural you can’t go wrong.
Hey Andy ..when I asked for the salary range as you mentioned the HR person said they could not disclosed.now I am stuck as the position was higher than my last job....as always thank you !!!
Stephen B., I understand your viewpoint. I have seen companies shift plans to find additional funds to for a candidate they loved. It also depends on your situation. If you like the opportunity and need a job, then I think you have you have nothing to lose.
Hi Andy - I just had a call with a recruiter and she said that - HR wouldn't allow her to give me that salary range and she wanted me to look up the range for the market and get back to her. What should I say next?
Don't get back to them. They are playing games, they know exactly how much they will pay for the right person, they don't respect you, but might take you at cheap price, then get rid of you when you do not work out. If you do work out, they got you cheap !!
Sir. My question to you is . If a previous employer calls you to rejoin and you are aware of all the working conditions, activities and timings and other benefits. How can you then negotiate with them for a higher pay during the interview process.
What if the hiring manager asks you at the end of the interview where it seems like the interview has gone really work and you would actually like to work for the company?
I was told that recruiters are incentivised based off of a percentage of your starting salary. In which case it would be in there best interest for you to start out making as much as possible but it seems like employers would have it set up the other way around to incentivise recruiters that can get candidates on as close to the bottom end of there pay range as possible to save them more money in the long run. My mind is heavily burdened by the idea that I may have screwed myself over when I got hired by giving an actual number for expected salary that my recruiter said was "perfect" (it was my first time "negotating" salary). Which is true in regards to how recruiters are incentivised?
Hey Andy I have a question regarding this. I currently had to move to another country and there's very few job opportunities for me here, the best option for me is customer service type of jobs. the industry seems to have a super fast turn around in regards of jobs and since i just moved here i am applying to an entry level job. How can i apply this to make sure i get the salary i need to make ends meet when my interviewing process is only at most an hour and the company usually has a set number for the positions i can apply to?
Hi Andy, I have a second interview on Friday. The recruiter said the company provided great feedback. She advised don't discuss pay on Friday. My question is, does the offer come directly to the recruiter or to me? How can I negotiate if the company sends it through the recruiter??
@@andylacivita not necessarily. The recruiter often is in the dark regarding salaries. If a company is paying an outside firm a fee they may want to lowball the offer. I dealt directly with the company once the recruiter’s inexperience and lack of savvy was apparent.
I been using this answer from your 2018 video and it seems to work a bit, since what the recruiter does is to give a list of the company's benefits, etc and then they are expecting you to give them a number. There is where I get stuck and sometimes I have given a number and some other I dont. Also, what if the range the recruiter gives is way low of your expectations? I have been on this situation too where I think is my dream company and position but the top number on their range is the same you currently make or even lower.
If an employer plays that game, they are not serious and want "Cheap". Believe me, cheap at the beginning means usually even worst when you work for them !! Just walk away !
Hi Andrew. @andrewlacivita I have asked you a few questions but have a little bit of a strange one. I started a new job in November and it’s a newly designed position for a growing team. My manager (the vp of the part of the company I work for) called me saying she was going to move me under one of her other leaders, wants to change my title, move me to salary instead of hourly (my position requires a lot of travel) and add some different duties to what I’m already doing if I was up for it. When we set up an in person meeting (I work remote) is it normal to renegotiate salary in this kind of situation?
Every situation is different Jamie, but if the duties are changing significantly and they want a lot more from you, you might want to consider asking for more!
@@Ambi1021 If at the end of the process they still won't budge on the lower offer, just remember you don't have to accept any offer you don't feel is fair. I suggest also watching some of Andy's other videos that explore that path.
@andylacivita I have an internal recruiter pushing me on salary OTE, after my first interview, and wants a number before allowing me to move to the next interview?
My experience is that the person asking wants a number so he can lowball you and if you try to evade or ask for the range, they won't tell you until you give them a number first. The number they give is always less than your number.
Great Video. I have a question about the online applications. I have been looking for a job for the past 4 years and have filled out too many to count. Often, employers these days require you to fill in a "number", it is not a dropdown field for the salary and the field does not allow text. What would you recommend in these cases? I agree with you that we are just shooting in the dark, and I suspect that I have lost out on many jobs because I have priced myself out of the job. However, I have also accepted that if they are that way, I don't really want to work there anyway.
Online applications are tricky, but you can add an alternative answer such as to be discussed in interview or a variety of others, sometimes the employer may be asking up front so you don't have to go through multiple stages if the salary is far away from what you're looking for. I actually cover online applications specifically on this topic, but a very interesting point.
I've followed your resume and cover letter advice as well as the interview techniques and have found them really helpful. This one I just can't nail down. I had an experience today in a first interview that felt like a mexican stand off as clearly neither me nor the hiring official wanted to reveal their hand. It actually felt like the atmosphere was becoming quite negative and I didn't want to go any further down that route so I (stupidly) gave a figure based on my previous role in another company. The interview had gone well until that point, but he then looked really disappointed - I expect the figure I gave was over their budget, and I think that could be the thing that loses me the chance of getting the role. Next time I'll know to try going down the route of asking them their budget and just saying I'm happy with that. Thanks for all the advice you put out Andy. I'm still learning but it's been helpful so far!
It’s interesting other career you tubers advise telling them the number range right away so that it gives the company the opportunity to screen you out and not waste time for you and them. Any thoughts on when one approach is better?
Mine. LOL. Actually, seriously. Mine. I've personally handled over 600 employment agreements for my clients and job candidates not to mention countless more through my online coaching. You're at a huge disadvantage when you do not know what the employer is willing to pay you. At the beginning, you don't even know each other. That's like meeting someone for the first time and determining how long you're going to date before you have to get married. You need go through the interview process to see what each other is worth to you.
Quick question: Had first interview last week with recruiter who asked the range question, I tried to defer it (I had not yet watched your video) she pushed a little and I gave a range. Realizing her reaction was excited about what I said I might of aimed low I came back to that question at the end and said that since my current job is all commission (new job is Salary only) that I was not in the best position to give a range as this job is a different industry. She told me that the manager would negotiate it and not to worry. My 2nd interview is tomorrow with the regional manager. Should I deflect here as well and try to push it off until we are further along in the process or should I give a better range? I know the range I need now as I worked on that this weekend. Thank you!
Awesome, as always, Andrew. I actually used the scripts you gave us during my interview yesterday, but was followed by a question that I had to give them a range or figure, so I just gave them the local market range for the occupation, I wish I could see this earlier so that I could possibly get their range of offering.
Hi. I tried deferring salary requirements recruiter wd not move me on to manager as she said manager asked for salary requirements before moveing on. I responded respectfully deferring again and I got ghosted by recruiter. It did not work.
Hi andrew, thank you for the video, I tried asking for the budget for the role but they told me that they cannot share it with me and keep pushing me for a number. At that point i gave up and gave them the number because they said they cannot proceed if i didnt tell them. The HR sounded pretty pissed too :( I am not sure how to handle such scenario the perfect way
I wouldn’t worry about it. They pressed you. You did what you thought was right. They’re the ridiculous ones for thinking you should know this and provide a number with very information.
I have seen so many of your videos. But unfortunately this approach doesn’t work in India. Here they ask current ctc and expected salary in the first call itself and you have to tell that. Before offering offer latter they ask for last 3 months salary slips. Doesn’t matter big or small company. Kindly tell what to do in such cases???
