This is one of the most tricky and most vulnerable positions for some because they want to get the best salary they can from their new recruiter and are careful not to get underpaid. If you are ignorant about the salary range expectation you will be doing yourself a disservice and your recruiter a favour if you accept a salary offer that is way below what you should have received.

Therefore, before you begin salary negotiations with your new recruiter, you need to find out how much the job is worth in comparison to other companies and how much the company pays employers on your level and position.

Here’s how to negotiate for a good pay:

Wait for an Offer

During the interview process don’t jump the gun and mention your salary expectation. It throws the employer off and it shows you off as someone who is after the money and not for the love of the job. Wait for when the recruiter/employers makes an offer.

Hold back long enough

The truth is that your recruiter/ employer to be doesn’t need your previous salary or current salary for this new role. There is already a stipulated salary range for someone of your qualification and expertise. So if asked, hold back by not saying your salary or your expectation but give a range with which they can work with. If they get persistent, tell them …” you will like to know more about the responsibilities and the challenges of the job prior to discussing salary”… then base a range not a figure surrounding that information.

Take Your Time

Don’t rush to accept an offer. The goal is to always sleep over an offer and make a decision. If the contract details doesn’t sit well with you, refuse it, not all jobs we get are meant for us. Sometimes, thinking over an offer can give you a better offer.

If the job offer is below your expectation say NO. It’s not by force. Refuse it. Most times you will get a call back on a salary revision. Don’t just say yes and swallow it.

Salary With Benefits

What are their benefits like? Are the benefits that follow the “take home pay” preferable for you. What is the pay after tax and other benefits that follow like bonuses, vacation.

Don’t Refuse a Job you need

Intuition is a winner all the time. Don’t refuse a job offer you have always wanted in an industry and company you admire. A lot of people have left better paying jobs to start off another job that paid less but was a CV booster to them and they went on to occupying better positions and earning more money. The goal is to look for a better position in than your previous place.

Great thread

pls what happens in a situation where you get an offer with a bigger pay in a smaller coy than the one you are in . . .

Free your mind from some types of opinions...what is good for the goose may kill the gander.

lol

Excellent but like you know there is always an exception

All these things are just theory. Not practicable except you are an expatriate/consultant being brought in to do a certain job.

I remember attending an interview not quite long and I was asked what am expecting as salary. Knowing fully well there is a salary range for my level, I told them they should apply the salary range for my grade, but the boss was just insistent that I name my price because he knows I must definitely have an expectation.
I later mentioned a little above my researched figure and he asked if I would consider anything lower.

You see Nigerian recruiters are just twisted, you can't just follow some 5 steps in negotiating with them.

I don't think point 3 is for Entry level jobs or Graduate trainee jobs except na your papa company.

Good enough points though.

Nice tips

oh

Very good.

Free your mind from useless copied opinions...what is good for the goose may kill the gander.

I do not think the opinion is useless but rather, there are different responses to different scenarios. There are interviews where they make you an offer immediately and you don't have the luxury of time to sleep over it, then it comes down to either you accept it or its past on to the next person.
So it is the ultimate decision of the interviewee to read the situation and respond accordingly.

Nice

Stories! Don't go and shoot yourself oh! If you have experience and skills, just do a little research about their pay then add ur own and call a figure for them. No need for ranges. If u give them ranges, they will always take the least. And when you say the company has a structure or a system so you will go with their own pay, they can decide to pay you the smallest of their ranges in their system.
I recently got a job, but during the interview, i was asked of the salary and was beating about the bush like mouse until they finally forced me to name a figure which I stated. Only for these guys to call me to resume out of 15 guys that did the interview. Not only that, they changed my reporting station from the one that was closer to my area which I called the salary for to another location that was fking far from my place. Above all, they also indicated in the employment letter that I will be supervising 5 locations that were darn far apart. Though the pay was far higher than my previous place of work oh...Obob for wetin na! I took leave from my place of work and proceeded to the new place of work to test run..mehn! I was always waking up by 3:30am and leaving the house by 4am just to meet up with the resumption time of 7:30am. My guy, I did the job for 3 days nobody tell me say na death warrant be this, I just tendered my resignation letter asap. They called me back and I told them the workload/stress was too much and not measurable with the pay. They asked me what I wanted, I told them salary review and additional worker. Dem just add small thing, I no gree oh, I still resigned and went back to my previous place of work.
The bottomline of the story is, don't shoot yourself, everything is negotiating power with confidence and making them to realized the stern stuff u are made of.
I went for one interview like that, with all my trainings/certs/experience, I called what was obtainable as salary for the position in the company. Only that I added some amount to it. Immediately I mentioned that, the interviewer replied by saying " you mean with all these certs, experience and training/exposure, u called this amount, na na, u no try at all, they all shook their heads in disappointments" , they were like I under-priced myself, for that reason I was not taken. Na one guy wey go call better money dem pick jare. The thing is just know ur worth and that's all.

when u go for a job interview & u see op (that is always writing about jobs on #land) also waiting to be interviewed
