r/negotiation

Recently I have applied for a new role in the company and got the job but they offered me double less what market range is. When I asked hiring manager for a salary range the question got avoided bc they said it is a new role in the company, I asked HR for a band and they told me there is no one. I tried to negotiate with a hiring manager but not open to negotiate. Important thing to say is that the role is with more responsibility, generaly the scope is bigger, it is better positioned on the job market (if i want to switch companies), but the biggest issue is that I am highly educated, I have more than several years of experience in the company and they won’t give me more. What would you do?
Would you talk to HR (to see how the process usually looks like) if the hiring manager is trying to trick me, bc I haven’t got any offer (official) except the amount of the pay, so no pension, no benefits. Is that normal in internal processes?

I almost didn’t even get an interview, but someone else canceled and they called me back and asked if I would like to jump on one right away, and I did. That seemed to go really well and one week later I got the phone call they offered me the higher end of the range, which is 29 an hour plus overtime. This job is attractive to me because it’s remote and includes a lot of travel that I’m interested in. Not the best pay in the world i know but i need work now and it seems there is room to grow.

Am I in no position to negotiate a bit higher after I already verbally said yes, especially when I was already a second choice candidate for the original interview?

I recently interviewed for a PNC teller lead position after the branch manager suggested I apply. I did the interview. I was selected, and then a recruiter called me and told me that my salary would be 48k with other benefits, mind you. I have almost no experience in banking, but around 3 years of experience in management and cash handling. I looked up the salary range in my area. It came up to around 50K to 52k on average. So I asked him if this is negotiable, and he said you can try, and I negotiated with the recruiter to match up to 50k, and he straight out denied it for 50 and said he can try, but that’s not possible. 49K is the average in your area. So I asked him to at least match that, to which he said that okay, it is possible, and I will talk to the senior and will get back to you & next thing i know he ghosted me for two days. He replied to me after two days that another candidate has popped up, and they are going to interview him on Tuesday, and he will get back to me after that. I just want to understand what I did wrong for negotiating. If they couldn’t do 49, I would have happily taken 48k. I even sent him an email after that. Okay, if I accept the initial offer, will you guys still be doing the interview, and then he said I have let the door open for other candidates they will interview.

EDIT- I want to thank you everyone for your input. I want to mention 2 things that i forgot to mention in the post.

1. I work at dollar tree as an assistant manager which pays me 50k including atleast 10 hours of OT every week. Which i told them in the interview.
2. I have the offer of stepping up as a manager.

I am sorry for not giving this information before but I want to know if with this knowledge will your opinion change to the situation now?

Only reason i want to switch is because i am not happy with my current situation. I made an irrational decision to negotiate over a $1000. But in my head i was talking about taking a cut.

I’m seeing a lot of requests for ‘help’ to make decisions but what about those who have already walked the gauntlet of a salary negotiation.

Would love to know your story:

1 - What lead to the situation?
2 - What you specifically did?
3 - Would you use the same approach?
4 - Biggest Salary Negotiation lesson.

Thoughts?

Applied for a job with a base salary range of 90-160k. I stated my salary range is from 130-150k base. I was told that 120k is the highest they would consider? HOWW? If the job description says something else? How should I negotiate to ensure I am compensated fairly?

Adding that I am still in the interview stage and have 10 YOE.

Hi, So I work as a technician looking after a building, which involves shift work and night work. But are calculated but we also have a salary as norm.

We are adding some new roles, one is a supervisor role which I have been offered.

I don't want to do anything would Doxx me.

But basically I feel a little cheated in the offer, do you think I should negotiate?

It would be a step up, from a shift tech with a supervisor, still on shift and nights, overtime potential. I would have 5 people under me, looking after things including rostering, leave, emergencies.

Salary wise, base salary it's a 1.5% rise, I asked for 10% to 14%

Including the shift allowance, it's a 5.7%, which still feels like I'm being somewhat cheated. I have constant feedback that everyone is happy, and even received a big raise last year for it.

I also feel like they are offering it in a shadowy way. When we receive the yearly increases (I forgot the word), it's displayed as a breakdown, salary, shift allowance, and super.

This offer was a flat salary with salary and shift allowance combined to make it a bigger number.

I want to negotiate, I havnt done so before, should I? Or just take the deal? Should it be displayed plainly how the new salary increases and such?

Any advice on how to negotiate is appreciated. I have everything worked out and written down, I just need to know how hr have calculated things to confirm it.

It's stressing me out to be honest haha.

Edit: i should add, iv been doing the supervisor role for the past year, but it was never an official position, as the team has grown, now it needs an official title.
