- olah_1 6y agoBuddy of mine that was hiring for a team put it this way: HR determines the upper and lower range of the salary for positions. It’s actually in your boss’ best interest that you’re brought on at the highest in that range so that you’re the happiest you can be in the role. So you’re really just negotiating with a third party (HR) that you’ll never talk to again in your day to day. Maybe someone else can speak to HR incentives though. Are they incentivized to low ball you? Not sure. Either way, it’s just business.
- killtimeatwork 6y agoIn many companies, the boss actually has a yearly budget that he spends on his people's salaries as well as other costs. So, the less he pays you, the more money he has left for other needs. BTW I'm curious if FAANGs are arranged in this way as well, does anyone know?
