Negotiating Salary
“I had a most painful conversation with a candidate yesterday upon making a job offer on behalf of a client. While I admired his fortitude and effort, I had to cut him off finally..I just couldn’t listen anymore…This doesn’t happen often…I advise you make your best offer first…
that’s it…it doesn’t need to get complicated. Yes, from time to time we all have to negotiate a few things..but if you do your work throughout the process – set and measure expectations..the offer is well rather anti-climatic. It’s anticipated and becomes more of an itinerary (or should)...like when do we move, first day of work..logistics..itinerary/schedule for first day and/or week.
If you find you are negotiating offers more than you’d like, review and revise!”
