Jmast7 09/09/11 6:48:00 AM #1:	So I received my very first official job offer yesterday – it’s a terrific offer and I’m definitely going to accept it at some point – but everyone I’ve spoken with has told me that I should ask for more and I’m not really sure how to approach this when I call HR later today. Without going into too much detail, I currently work in academic research. This job was originally posted as a temporary position in industry (basically 3 years with the possibility of being promoted to a permanent position based on performance) with a relatively modest salary for the industry. But I have pretty decent experience in the field and I know I gave a knockout interview, so I was prepared to counter whatever they offered me by asking for both a guarantee I’d be promoted within two years and for a higher base salary. But they preempted me in both. Not only did they offer me the higher, permanent position off the bat, I’m starting close to the top of the pay scale for that position as well. So there’s really not much I can ask for in terms of salary or title and, quite honestly, I’m pretty thrilled with the offer in general. But all the friends and family I spoke to last night say I should still ask for more – signing bonus, more stock options, etc. – and while I suppose it doesn’t hurt to ask, I’m doubtful they’ll give me anything else given what they’ve already offered. So how should I approach this on the phone? I’m planning on calling HR later today in mid-afternoon. And keep in mind that even though I have decent experience in the field, I've never worked in industry before. I’m kind of looking for anecdotes as to how other people negotiated, successfully or not. Did you call, e-mail, and how long did it take? <.< -- Baseball, though, supports our sense of wonder, our appreciation of what might happen and our love for framing it against what has come before it - T.

bbbtime 09/09/11 7:01:00 AM #7:	Hmm, a good way of getting leverage is if you have another job offer (or say you do). If you haven't mentioned that you were going for other jobs then I don't think you can use that now, to be honest if the offer is better than you were expecting and they've gone out on a limb to make it better than advertised, I think that asking for more would come across a bit greedy. Accept it, work hard, and ask for a raise once you have some tangible proof that you deserve it. -- Velcro - what a rip off. <cite>bbbtime posted [p:313140] in Anyone hav...

In fact the various HR people I have talked to seldom expect or want a negotiation. They give you the offer, you accept it or they go to the next person in what is probably a pretty long list. You can try and negotiate, but if they turn down your attempt stop immediately. Negotiating against an already great offer could just make you look greedy and could cost you the job.

bbbtime 09/09/11 7:12:00 AM #17:	I think it's very easy for people to egg you on when it's not their job to lose, at then end of the day you're only going to get better terms if you play hardball, if you just phone up and say can I have more money they're not just going to give it to you without a fight. It's going to be a negotiation like you said, and if you pull out too early you might look a bit silly for asking in the first place, if you hold on too long you might lose the job.

Except I'm just an intern with an indefinite timeframe Weren't you thinking about heading back to school or something? Also, were you the one I was talking with who was doing EMT work? <.< I will miss Yale. Won't miss the commute, but I will miss the atmosphere and my colleagues. And the occasional Chinese dish from the hospital carts. =) From: SovietGwindor \| Posted: 9/9/2011 3:17:22 PM \| #023 what part of academia did you work in? Why do you ask, BTW?

AlecTrevelyan006 09/10/11 8:53:00 AM #30:	Yeah I actually did get into a program to try to get me into med school, but thanks to applying late in rolling admissions they contacted me and were like "Hey, congrats, you got in! Now be here moved in and ready to start and pay us a year's tuition, all in the next 10 days". Luckily, got the admission deferred a year so I'll spend another year finding the money to pay for it and getting more publications. And yes I was the one doing the EMT work and teaching MCAT as well. And ahhhh the carts. I prefer the "Good healthy not oily" cart that's right near the walk to the cafateria, but my friend swears by "healthy way". -- Gamefaqs' #1 Testicle Bettor: Proud owner of many testes http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6553/alec.png <cite>AlecTrevelyan006 posted [p:313163] in Anyone hav...
