Plus, only 17% of restaurants/bars make profit, so it's not rocket science anyways.

[Mrs. Gooch]

What happens when you breed an engineer with an accountant? 

I know a couple of these.

What's the biggest percentage swing you've managed to achieve with a counter offer?

Thanks for the help folks.  Top notch.

15%

[Mikeyis4dcats]

What's the biggest percentage swing you've managed to achieve with a counter offer?

not really what you're looking for, but I managed to swing 9% of the company.

[420seriouscat69]

Are you talking about within your company? Or from job to job.

[Emo EMAW]

Job to job.

[420seriouscat69]

Radio to selling fake degrees was like a 50% raise. This job was like a 15-25% raise based on my bonus structure, which i'm hitting.

Wacky, what I'm asking is, when you're interviewing with another firm and they offer x, and you counter offer y, and you ultimately agree on z, what is the percentage represented by (z-x)/x.  Got it?

[420seriouscat69]

Whoops. Got it! 

[Mrs. Gooch]

Wacky, what I'm asking is, when you're interviewing with another firm and they offer x, and you counter offer y, and you ultimately agree on z, what is the percentage represented by (z-x)/x.  Got it?

It's got to be a function of y, although I would say z asymptotically approaches zero if y increases too much above x.

I think that was my first one of the day tho. It was just a major brag, but not really, because it shows you how poor I was working in radio.

How in the world would z approach zero?  Who counter offers with 0?  I think you mean z approaches x?  That doesn't make any sense either.  It's like you're suggesting some sort of laffer curve relationship.

No, I'm saying if your counter is too high they are going pull the offer altogether.

That would be a different function considering I stipulated that both parties ultimately agree on z.

My 15% bump was an offer match by current employer when competitor offered a job.

Several years ago, hiring manager offered $x. I told him I wasn't interested unless base was $Y. He agreed. 18% higher.

[Mikeyis4dcats]

Job to job.

that's not a counter offer as I thought you meant.  A counter offer is when you get a raise offered with the current employer.   To me responding to an offer with a higher number is just negotiation. 

[Mrs. Gooch]

Job to job.

that's not a counter offer.  A counter offer is when you get a raise offered with the current employer

I'm pretty sure a counter offer is when a company offers you a job with a salary and then you counter with a higher salary that you would like to be paid for that job. Could be a new company or a different job at the company you currently work for.

[star seed 7]

I think it is a counteroffer. You are literally countering their offer

[star seed 7]

To answer emo, 19%

[wetwillie]

Man the economy appears to be really whipping ass right now.

I think you are taking this hyperbola of Mrs. Gooch too hyperbole.

[michigancat]

Who the eff thinks a counter offer is separate from a negotiation?
