I haven’t experienced what you claim. I’ve succeeded to the 99th percentile with wage negotiation the last 2 times I job hopped (both FAANG). The trick is you really do need to do the work to collect a poker-hand of competing offers with which to have leverage. You can then say “I won’t take your offer unless you make it (top of band, L+1, remote)” etc.
This has not backfired on me. It just takes 8 times more effort than getting hired at one place. I figured the benefit would compound.
- KaiserPro 2y agoWait so you got an offer at a FAANG for one level, and you negotiated to go up a level in pay, but not actually go up a level?
- bluGill 2y agoEvery company is different. Congratulations for pulling that off. It won't work everywhere though. The real trick is figuring out where they can negotiate - there is always something.
