Dealing With Low-Ball Job Offers
Manage episode 398320490 series 2088167
What do you do if a job offer comes in with a low-ball salary? In this episode, I dig into a topic inspired by a listener's email that echoes the experiences of many job seekers. The thrill of a job offer in your inbox can be quickly curtailed by a proposed salary that doesn’t even hit the bottom of your range. The let-down stems from a combination of systemic issues around hiring, genuine frustration and stress, and possibly some unrealistic expectations.
I explain what’s going on behind the scenes in these scenarios and what you can do to set yourself up for job search and salary negotiation success.
Press play to discover insights that cast job hunting in a new light, including:
- Why there’s an extended timeline on job searching today
- What’s happening behind the hiring curtain with supply and demand
- When in the process you’re at the peak of your negotiating power
- How you can be a part of the change to greater salary transparency
