Finally negotiated instead of just saying thank you and taking the first number
#negotiation#offers#salary
Got an offer, said I needed a couple days, then actually looked up comp data instead of guessing. Went back with a specific number and the reasoning behind it instead of just "can you do more." Recruiter came back with an 8% bump and an extra week of PTO within a day. Not a huge ask apparently, just nobody had asked before. Wish I'd done this on my last three offers instead of assuming the first number was final.

AnonymousAnon How'd you find comp data that felt trustworthy? I never know if the numbers I'm looking at are actually current for my area.

AnonymousAnon This is a great reminder that the worst they can say is no. I always assumed asking would blow up the offer until I actually tried it and nothing bad happened.
