Just got a job offer. It's a solid promotion, but I want to make a counter offer on salary.
Give me guidance on how to maneuver that conversation. Elite business pros only, please... oh wait, that's everyone on this board.

Would you take the offer as it stands?
What's the minimum you'd accept? 5% more? 10% more?

Related note: the offer they made me is below average pay for the position by a solid margin (at least according to CNN and a couple other sources that just came up in my google search).

Also, what excuse can I use to get a week off in between old job and new job?

Another question: If I put in two weeks notice tomorrow, that will put my last day on March 22, which is the first day of the NCAA tourney. I requested that day off like two months ago when I bought tickets. Is it still cool to use that vacation day on March 22 even though it's my last day at my current job? :dunno:
Depends on the employer. My last employer often escorted ppl out the day the gave their notice for security reasons and simply paid them for those two wks.

Dif job and dif employer.
Even if their offer is 30% over what you make now, ask for more, you'll never get an easier raise
If they have already offered you the job, all they will do is say that they are firm on their offer. You almost surely won't lose the offer.

I said my brother was too manly. He likes guns and jets and boom boom things.
I am definitely not too manly for anything. Also, I want to be your friend.

I don't think I believe you
You could ask for a signing bonus.

Great. Another option to consider. crap.
I'm not doing so well with this decision. I think I'll just turn the whole thing down.
You need to put things in their terms. Want 10% more? How are you going to provide 10% of value to the company. Sell them on your skills.

They EXPECT you to make a counter offer. If you don't they'll think you're a pussy. As for 10 or 12%, and they'll come back with 5 or 6%, and take that. You need to cash in on this now, because from here on out most raises are going to be like "merit increases" and it'll be your standard 3 to 5 % a year, no matter how much you make now. You need to make this one count.
Also, don't ever EVER tell the truth about how much you currently make when you're interviewing outside. Always inflate that number. They have no way of knowing anyway. It'll give you more leverage when it comes to talking salary.

Did I screw up then? I said I made a little less than I actually do, because I really, really want this gig I am interviewing for next week.
I just thought I'd be a more attractive candidate if I was willing to work for a little less. (I always negotiate for 4 weeks vacation.)

I've been at my current job for several years now. It's time to move on. I do not, nor have I ever, bone anyone I work with. That should clear up any misconceptions, right?
I just accepted another position within my company last week. I was offered a meager raise and I counter offered but was told the raise offered was firm. This new job is better but the move is considered to be lateral and many of the people on my team have been with the company for 20 plus years.
I sorta think if you want make bank (over all else) you have to switch companies every few years.

My sister works in advertising and this is what she does. Picks up like 5-10k every time she moves to another agency. She also takes like 2-3 weeks off in between jobs. It's a pretty great strategy if you can pull it off.
usually a pretty safe route. your old company won't release your salary info b/c of privacy concerns. but, clams had a friend who was a former hustler model who tried this when switching companies (not from hustler to another company, this was years ago), but her new company asked for proof of her old salary (pay stub) within 2 weeks of being hired. she couldn't produce and got canned.I sorta think if you want make bank (over all else) you have to switch companies every few years.

I have switched jobs twice in the past 3 years and lied about my previous salary to each new potential employer. I am now making about double what I was at the start (though I was pretty underpaid at the start and cost of living is higher where I am).

That's pretty mumped up. either she was worth the salary they agreed to or she wasn't. what she made at her old gig is irrelevant at that point.

I seriously would have photoshopped a paystub in that situation. But I wouldn't have lied in the first place, though.
ya she's the only person i know that got busted that way. if someone did ask, i would reply with a "i was speaking in terms of total comp" and just layer in benefits like health insurance/401k, etc until i reached the number that i claimed i was making.
welp, the good news is that one time when ol clams was at her house with his gf, she brought out the hustler she was in and there were pics of her with another girl in it. so anyway.

They're waiting on a call back from HR to see if it's in the budget. :dubious: Seemed to be chipper about it and open to it, though. :dunno:
