Accepted a job offer (verbally) but I am not satisfied with my salary?
You have made a mistake here when you discussed salary in the interview to begin with. However that does not mean that the situation is unrecoverable. The challenge here is, if you go ahead and negotiate a salary that is higher than you had discussed, you've put yourself back in the mix. You're essentially not accepting the offer you already verbally accepted. This could put you in a compromising position. If you do not play the cards right, you may end up without the job. Whatever you do, do not leave a message on a voice mail that states your new expectation. It sounds like you've played that part well so far. Call, and ask her to phone you back to discuss the details of the offer.. I highly recommend getting the details ironed out before the offer letter is mailed to you. In this case, because it is sensitive due to your verbal acceptance, I would ask the hiring manager if there is any room to negotiate the salary higher at this time. Then listen for the response. Is she accepting? Is she offended? Is there any room at all for negotiation? You need to decide based on that how to proceed. If there is no room for negotiation, then you have two choices. Accept, or continue looking. Whatever happens next, I highly recommend seeking a competing offer from another employer. This will give you some advantage. Best of luck!
Should I accept this job offer? How do I counter a salary offer?
Well, it's a lot more than you're making now, and there probably won't be many positions available in the public schools this late in the summer. And it's more for just the school year rather than your current job which I assume is year 'round. Charter and many private schools tend to have a much lower salary scale than public, especially unionized, districts. What they're offering is probably fairly close to what's available. You might be able to negotiate a little bit more, or maybe not, but aren't going to come close to your former school salary. But if it isn't as draining, the lower money might be worth it - of course, hard to tell if it will really be better or not. You could take the job, then look for a change for next year, It would at least get you back into teaching if that's what you want to do. If you do take it, there's the issue of course of notice for your current job. If that will really mess up your current employer, could you offer to come in for a few hours after the training sessions or on weekends to help keep up with the workload and/or help train a replacement?
My employer cut my salary by 20% after I accepted their offer via email. What should I do?
What are your three important values in life? Align those values against the future employer. Are you agreeable to their quirk?Personally, I decline the offer and blacklist the said company. Other answers have highlighted the reasons you should scrutinise in finalising your decision.
Should I accept my first job offer as a programmer for a low salary just to gain experience in the market?
Salary is a scale.My first IT job, as a Network’s Engineer, I was offered $35k, 1/2 of what my peers were offered, at a private company.At a company with Organized Bargaining, such as public sector in most states, the employees have a negotiated pay scale, meaning that all entry level people get the same rate. You wage/salary are dependent upon your job classification and your years of experience with the company. Sometimes you can start a bit up the scale, but that doesn’t apply to you.So… at a non-union company, they will pay you what they think you’re worth, and they will ask you what you believe you’re worth, up front.At a union company, you’ll need to make sure you interview well, bring in your coding portfolio, and be prepared to answer tough practical or theory based questions, suited to your position.If you’re just looking for “anything” that suits a new programmer, maybe try freelance on the side?
How can I ask for a salary hike after accepting the offer letter?
Once committed, you cannot go back.After acceptance, it is not considered a professional conduct to re-negotiate. If you are looking for better package, then choose the job that will give you that pay. But since you already accepted, moving out of the agreement of acceptance is not a professional conduct either.However, there is indeed a slim chance for you to negotiate. In case you have a competing offer in hand that offers you a better package, you can reconsult with the HR to see if they are open to negotiation. If the HR is ready to listen up, share what you have in your hand and ask if they can match it. If not, you have two choices - stick to the offer or let it go.In any case, I would not ever lie to get a better package. Nor should you.Never check-in to something when you are still waiting for other offers, and never check-out other offers when you have already checked-in.
Employer won't negotiate job offer with me?
I am being offered a job at a really low salery - so low it does not even register at the end of the bell curve according to Salary.com, based on the area and job title. My HR recruiter says that their company does not negotiate job offers, and that is what everyone gets at this entry level position. I find this hard to believe. I plan to have a meeting with my (future?) boss before I accept any offer but he has no power over my salary. Should I tell the HR recruiter about salary.com. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but it doesn't feel right. It's a few thousand dollars lower than the bottom 2 percentile. What should I do?!? Thanks!!
I accepted a job offer verbally, but I have not received any written job offer from the employer. I am worried
When you receive a verbal job offer the correct procedure is to immediately send a letter detailing the substance of your conversation and thanking the person with whom you spoke. This would have covered you in this case. You say it has been a month but you do not say when you were supposed to start. Is the start date approaching? If so, a simple letter stating that you understand that you were to start on x date would work. Something like this: Dear xxxxxx: It was a pleasure to speak with you recently regarding the position of xxxxxx. I look forward to working with you and I am sure that I will be a positive asset to your staff. As agreed, I will report to work on xxxxxxx. Thank you for your time and consideration. If there is a problem I am sure they would contact you.
Did I accept a starting salary too low?
I'm a civil engineer two weeks out of college with a bachelors degree. I live in Buffalo new york, and I just took a job with a smaller company (around 10 employees) and it was 40,000/year. All the national averages are higher. Right around 50k. Should I have gone for more?
