  • how long should I expect an answer after salary negotiation?

    Posted by admin on June 4th, 2010 and filed under salary negotiation | 6 Comments »


    Typically if the company really wants you then you will hear back within a week. If it goes over that then you are probably not going to get it.

      If you tried to negotiate a salary ……….. must likely never……….sorry…….consider this………

      There are thousand and thousands of talented, experience people on the street due to the economy…the competition for any job is extreme. …people will do anything for much less just to feed their kids……..I don’t expect it to get any better before 2012……

      They just went to the next resume……….sorry……

      It is amazing how stupid some of the people who respond to these questions are. Some of the people who ask questions are equally as painful.

      What industry
      What position
      What prompted the negotiation
      How long were you employed/ is this a new hire
      What experience do you have
      Who was the negotiation with(what department managers were present?)
      How long did the entire face to face process take
      What happened during the process
      How did you prepare for it
      How do YOU think it went
      How has your company reacted in the past to previous similar processes

      Come on your question is too vague to expect an intelligent reply. Which is why one of the top contributor’s here gave you one of the most pathetic responses possible.

      Now, during recession….. At this moment is the most important moment for any company which desires to be progressive and forward moving is when they absolutely keep all of their top notch employees, period. Now is also an amazing time to hire, the amount of candidates looking – the pool has not been so large in years. Obviously there are a lot of negatives to this as well. When there are lay offs do you think the best people are laid off – gimme a break. It costs on average $5-10k to hire and train a new employee. How much of a raise did you want? Most likely 1-3 bucks? Well with 2,040 work hours in a year that is still a fraction of the cost to hire a new hire. Also we know beyond any reasonable doubt tenured employees are easier to retain than new hires. So you the tenured offer a sounder investment and quicker ROI.

      I could go on and on why the shmuck(is that a word) was absolutely wrong. Most likely he hires and fires people for a retail porn store and does not give a damn about the quality of employee he hires/fires.

      There is no ’sound’/solid answer. Especially with the vague information you provided. However, 7 days after this negotiation took place write a letter to everyone who sat at the table with you. Let them know you enjoy your employment so much you are not thinking about quitting. However, if you did not get the raise you need to make some personal changes to your finances. Although you did not expect to make changes so quickly things came up. Or be even more open and upfront and call them and ask where you are in the process. We work to get paid – everyone knows that. This is not personal it is about money. 100% of the time 90% of the people work at the company they do for money. We get it. Show you are not that 90%. Even if you need to retract or back track. Money is not the number 1 issue. You will work there regardless. But some very pressing issues arised and now you must deal with them. If you do not have the courage to ask for a response on the spot ask them for a time frame.

      They will either tell you on the spot
      fire you
      Give you your raise

      They were going to do one of these 3 things anyhow, right. Take a little control – it is better to know today than tomorrow.

      My message was a little silly, long winded and not the most articulate. But I just get annoyed with so many self proclaimed experts who are obvious pathetic retards. Re-read it and mine the gems.
