Great advice. This is just what I was looking for. Thank you.
what does this fat hog know about anything???
this may have been true in the past, but now when people don’t have jobs… well… there is not much negotiation… really… I’ve tried on 3 different occasions, turned down first two and accepted the third… I’ll be making $20K less than before the layoff
Reversing the the negotiation position is very useful. I like the word “flexibility” and will carry this into future negotiations
Excellent advice. Thank you.
I just got a job offer and when I went into orientation she just showed me what I was going to get paid and she kind of expected me to sign. I did it and I really regret it. Its about 25% less then what others in the same field are offering. I don;t know how i can go back and renegotiate. I haven;t started yet so hopefully the window is not closed. I don;t even knw how to bring up the topic now.
@sweetreview That stinks. I am not an expert, and I don’t know how you can bring it up, but I do know what a BATNA is: Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. If you are willing to walk away, you may not get the job, but at least you won’t be ripped off and miserable every day. My BATNA is being at home all day, and I kind of like it.
Thank you that was really informative.
