I accepted offer at Google, but current company don't want me to leave so they want to match salary at Google. Can I use this to negotiate for more at Google even though I signed offer already?
Ahh I guess if I decline Google it will be over for me
You can. But they can also retract their offer to you seeing how greedy you are.
Is the match in comp the driving factor? I mean you went looking for another job for a reason...
I said nope because if you tried you're probably gonna get screwed.
Call the recruiter at Google and tell them what’s going on, say you don’t know what to do. Don’t suggest they change the money, let them come to the conclusion, if they can. This way you don’t seem greedy but give them an opportunity to up the money. If you killed it in the interview or are filling a niche role, they will find the money.
Are you wanting to stay in the current company? What company are you in?. Forget about the money part.
I'm currently at Accenture, I'm all for going to Google but I feel like I didn't negotiate for a good salary but with this new update I think it's another chance....but I guess not.
Don't stress out too much. Assume they give but more, is it going to change your life ? probably not. Remember, human heart, when it comes to money is like a monkey. You LL never be satisfied even if you get 50k. Enjoy your new company. Never go with half heart. You LL never able to perform. Btw, what are the numbers?
Thanks for like words 115k 15% 200k wanted more base because rent in SFO crazy
Most companies and most roles, they won’t change an offer. For a few they will. But I’ve never taken a counter-offer from the old company. If they weren’t willing to offer it before I left, and the only way to get that is to threaten to leave, then it’s toxic, and I usually want to go to the company that values me more, without extortion. But it really matters on the two roles, and which has the greater enjoyment and growth path.
I actually don't wanna stay at current company, just wanna use them as lever to increase comp if possible
A different way to go about it, is talk to HR and your new boss. Tell them what’s going on, but that you’re taking their offer. However, you want to agree that if you perform at level X, that you will have some opportunities for growth (and define what those are). So if I perform at X, I get a raise to Y. When you have that discussion, it helps if you have data to back it up. E.g. the salary for those in the top 80% is X... if I’m performing at the top 80%, I expect to get up there as well. (It’s not just about money, but money in role, and how much it would cost them to replace you). That lowers the risk to the company, and is based on performance. And it sets expectations. Informal agreements like that, aren’t legally binding, and they can torpedo your performance reviews, if they want. (Bosses can often only negotiate within certain corporate guidelines). But they are great for well behaved companies and managers to give you leverage in future promotions and salary increases. And if they can’t live up to their promises, you can leave later and have a great justification for it.
Good insight, thank you
Nope
