Can I change my salary expectations after interview?

Yes, it’s perfectly reasonable to change your expected salary as you learn more about the role, its responsibilities, value to the company, and commitment of your time and knowledge. I sometimes find myself negotiating for a far different position than the one I originally came in to interview for.

How do you negotiate a salary if you already have a range?

You can ask for more benefits (or better benefits), a company car or car allowance, etc. If it’s strictly the cash money you want, you could go back and tell them: “I appreciate that you honored my request for a salary in the range I stated.” Acknowledge it.

What if I asked for too low of a salary?

If you’ve lowballed yourself during an interview, be bold and ask for the salary the recruiter said the role would pay. So, when the dust has settled and you’ve left the interview, focus on writing a really good thank you note that includes why you think you’re worth the extra money.

What if your counter offer is rejected?

If your offer was rejected with a counteroffer, go over it with your agent and determine whether the new terms are suitable for you. If they aren’t, you have the option to keep negotiating in hopes you arrive at a compromise that works for both parties or to reject the counteroffer and move on.

Can you change your desired salary?

Salaries are negotiable, so you can recover from an initial lowball estimate, but be prepared for the fact that the budget just may not be there or the employer may be unwilling to renegotiate salaries.

How often should I renegotiate my salary?

You can renegotiate salary any time you like. It’s best not to do it too often, and it’s best to have a good reason. Telling HR your salary expectation at an interview isn’t a negotiation. They might try to say ‘but you said your expectation was BLAH, you should accept.’ That’s just a sales tactic. Look at the offer you receive.

Should I negotiate my salary after I have given my best offer?

If they have already given their best offer, they may not be open to negotiating anymore. Before coming to a job interview, a responsible applicant will already have researched the rates in the industry.

How can I increase my salary after accepting a job offer?

Is it too late to renegotiate for an immediate raise?

If you’ve already started the job, it’s too late to renegotiate for an immediate raise. Do not wait until you’ve already signed all the paperwork and your information has been entered into the system.
