The first stage of job hunting process is sell yourself.
The second stage is negotiate a good salary.
找工篇: Offer Negotiation (您知道被東家相中了, 心中暗喜. 但您想多要點銀子, 但又怕自個嘴笨, 或怕東家說您不雷峰…)
You enter the Negotiation Stage after you have the offer in hand (or after you know for SURE THEY WILL extend you an offer).
Whether you negotiate or not depends on the strength of your negotiation skills and how good/bad the offer is.
Sometimes companies say their first offer is the best offer; no more negotiating.
However, most companies leave room open and anticipate you negotiating with them.
It is better to negotiate face to face or on the phone
Do your home work, be well prepared, know what to say.
Have a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C.
However, there are friends who have successfully negotiated a salary through email.
Before you send out email, think about these questions:
What will you do if they do not reply to your email by the deadline of the offer?
How do you know they will not meet what you want?
What will you do if they can not meet what your email asked?
Communication can solve all problems. You need to communicate with them anyway.
The bottom line is to keep the offer, unless you have other offers.
Start the talk in a nice professional way. They will respect you more once they realize your conditions are reasonable. Your goal is to try to create a win/win situation for you and for the company. That way, you will get what you want through the company satisfying your wants, and they will not need to repeat the long hiring process.
Please don’t be greedy. 人家騎馬咱騎驢, 回頭看,後邊還有推車漢---知足常樂!
The Hiring manager will withdraw the offer if he/she feels that you are asking for too high a price.
Yes, if the offer is At-Will, you can reject it even after you have signed to accept it. You should always make the decision based on what is the best for you and your 掌櫃的/冤家.
Rejecting an offer is very easy. 在完成與您最想去的公司的談判之前, 不要過早拒絕手裏的其它offer, 更不要過早的辭去現有的工作.
