Anyone get more than stated expected salary at WeWork?
Recruiters will usually ask desired comp. Has anyone gotten more than the range or hard number they initially stated after killing it during the interview? Or did you get less? Or were you offered exactly what you asked for? If so, ever negotiated up?
Never tell your expected salary
How do you answer expected salary ? If it’s plain text I usually put “negotiable” if it’s integer I put 0 ... curious what others do
Realistically, how do you respond to that during a convo? There are pushy recruiters who refuse to back down. Experienced it recently.
Never name your number first
I’ve always been afraid of negotiation until recently. I decided to state ranges and say it depends on the full packages. Some people won’t move forward unless you state the price.
Never give them expected comp first.
I gave them range. Without competing offers their offer hit lower bound of range. After competing offers appeared they improved theirs.
I gave Amazon a range, it was a fairly low-ball salary since I had no idea what I was doing (this was like a form before the interview was scheduled). Ended up getting something higher than the high end of the range. It probably still hurt my offer (and I didn't negotiate, but if I did it would have made it harder), but who knows.
The only time you should ever give a number is if you know their range and are trying to anchor them higher — however 9 out of 10 times its best to deflect the question. Just respond with the same question, “what is the range for the role? (I don’t see how my previously compensation should impact this..)” in California I believe there’s some law that protects candidates where they have to tell you range if they ask you.
Besides the CEO?
