46% of people accept the first salary offer. If you’re changing jobs this summer, don't leave money on the table
When switching companies, it's easy to focus so much on nailing the interview that you panic when the actual offer arrives.
But here’s the reality: negotiation isn’t a personal favor, it’s a business transaction. Yet, the moment a candidate asks for a counter-offer or pushes back on benefits, the vibe from HR often shifts from "we love you" to "you're being difficult."
If you are changing jobs this summer, remember that the budget for a new hire is almost always higher than the budget for internal raises.
Are you sitting on an offer right now and hesitant to push back, what's holding you back?
