Isn't that typically the question when negotiating anything? How often do we truly walk away with the absolute best deal that we can get? Even if, how often can we say with 100% confidence that the deal was the best that can be offered?
I think people hate to admit that things can just be "good enough", because the phrase "good enough" sounds like we settled without putting forth enough effort. It's a false dichotomy. Things can be good enough in one area yet outstanding in others.
- kzhahou 11y agoWe're taking about whether to negotiate vs. just taking first offer from company. Even if money isn't your TOP priority (vs flexible hours, etc) and you love the work opportunity being offered to you, you should still negotiate up front and try to get the company to come up higher. It's MUCH easier than asking for a raise or promotion later -- something as simple as saying "can you come up a bit higher?" on a phone call --those seven little words-- could pay for your summer vacation!
