This is total loserthink. Saying literally that will assuredly get results.
Mature managers and owners are well aware that hiring is a commercial act and that commercial acts are about money. Signaling that you’re willing to walk from the negotiation is key to getting good compensation. Strategically, you wait until they’ve already invested thousands of dollars in labor costs interviewing you first.
- laurent92 5y agoStrategically then, wait until you are 4 months in the job, when they’ve paid the commission to the recruiter (finding and contacting interesting people is a job, paid ~20% of the gross salary), and THEN you raise the price. Expect to receive a flying chair. If you get out of it alive, you’ll get a better salary.
- User23 5y agoI assume you’re being sarcastic, but if you change 4 months to a year and play hardball in your first review it’s not a terrible plan. This is assuming you spent that first year creating big value.
- dan-robertson 5y agoRight, if you have a good BATNA then you will actually be negotiating and not just bluffing. I think lots of people get hung up on thinking of business interactions as personal ones, just because they have been interacting with people. Small businesses may act in more personal ways but most larger companies will generally be pretty faceless and make decisions they think are good without bearing grudges because people treated them like a faceless corporation trying to make good business decisions.
