How to negotiate a job offer when you are interested?
Negotiating a Job Offer. If you have evaluated the job and are interested in the position but feel the offer could be stronger, consider negotiating. There are a number of steps you can take to negotiate effectively. First, research salaries for the job to get a sense of what you’re worth.
Should you negotiate a higher salary if you’re currently happy?
Salary negotiations can be a tricky game to play. If you’re currently very happy in your job, but an offer finds its way into your lap (say, through a headhunter reaching out, or a previous employer trying to win you back with an offer you can’t refuse), should you leverage this offer to negotiate a higher salary?
Should you negotiate a lowball job offer?
Once they send a revised job offer, then you can proceed with a standard starting salary negotiation. Beware that companies will often revise their lowball job offer to be pretty close to their best-possible job offer, which means your standard salary negotiation strategy may not yield as big a return when used in conjunction with this technique.
When to stop negotiating a salary and benefits package?
Keep in mind that, while you should negotiate for a fair salary and benefits package, you have to know when to stop negotiating and either accept the job offer or walk away. If you push too hard, the employer can withdraw a job offer. You have found a job that you like, and are happy with the compensation package.
