Have a bunch of interviews lined up this week for PM role. I want to basically take the interview to find where I stand in the market and if I get an offer I want to show it as counter offer to negotiate salary. Except (horrible) TC pay nothing wrong with the current job. WLB is a dream. Manager is amazing, co-workers very chill, not much politics. However, if I like the company I interview, pretty excited about a couple of them, but if get rejected by them how long should I wait? And can I apply with updated resume or they will "pull" resume submitted previously? #interview #salarynegotiation #resume TC: 91k (don't laugh) YOE: 9 (see above)
Thanks for honest views. But not really trying to play games. Everywhere I read they say you should have an offer in hand to negotiate a salary increase. On every board here people insist on having a counter offer to negotiate better. I think it's part of the business and nothing personal and being in the position to chose the better offer is a situation every job seeker would like to be in. Good point on having updated resume. Do you consult a professional resume review team?
In some cases you're right. But if your company only will give you a salary increase to stay, what will keep them from thinking you are a flight risk. Think about it from their perspective. Updated as in has updated information. Whether or not a professional reviews it is your call.
Agreed. If they actually axe me I'm willing to relocate and move and take up one of the offers. The intention is genuine but first choice is to work for current company. They allow me to work from anywhere in the world, though not hired as remote employee, as long I get the job done. Work hours are flexible and I live 5 mins away. And been here long enough to know they will likely negotiate but it's not common here for people to negotiate salary.
I wouldn't play games like that. You risk annoying your current company and you may also have issues with the organization you are speaking with. Your current company may start thinking of ways to terminate you and the other companies may feel used and offended by using them as a bargaining chip. If you are rejected, depending on your performance, you can interview again in one year if you did okay but not good enough, too years if you did badly or if you really fouled up, you can be blocked from re-applying ever again on any role. However, each company has it's own policy on this so it's better to ask your recruiter. When you apply again, you should provide an updated resume since they should dispose of it in a timely manner. However, I have had interviews with companies that had a 8+ year old copy of my resume that the hiring manager attempted to use during our interview. Fortunately I had an updated copy to give her. I still didn't get the job, but at least she had my most recent version when she rejected me.
