Have You Ever Lost A Job Offer Because You Negotiated Your Salary Too High? by Robertkenny(m): 3:07am On Jun 15, 2021

Recently i got an interview in one of the leading IT Company. It is CMMI level company so i thought to try. I gave written test and technical round of interview, then again technical round with manager and he put me on hold.
After i asked the reason to HR, she told me manager put you on hold. Again after 3 months i got a call that now you have to give final round of interview.
I went there for another technical round and got selected. This time my appraisal is due in current company which is on next month so i can’t accept first offer which is 15% raise.
I have 50k salary so it’s obvious I will get 15% in current company so i asked for 30% raise and she offered me 54k on hand. My current on hand is around 45k so i told her that i won’t join at these much less and if she wants to renegotiate, i am open for that. She after offered me 55k. I was like shocked that is this called negotiation. She is asking me for 1k more. Am i at grocery store or what? I said no.
She said she is chasing me from few days to convince me but now she won’t. So i said, if your offer is convincing, no need to chase anyone. What does it make sense to give someone 1k more? She said, if you want to join at the offer, call me or reply me.
I never replied and called.

Thank you Bogger for sharing my story.

I didn't lost their job, they actually lost what experience I am bringing to the table.
I am a software developer, employers never stopped knocking on our doors, but must we jump aboard every organization grin

I remember payqart recruiter interviewing me, he said they can only pay 350k, I told him 500k for the role I am applying for. I am making 250k working part time as a consultant, tell me why I will want to be coming to work everyday sitting in Lagos traffic, and also investing in clothing for just 100k. He said they will get back at me, which they never did.

You can't lose a job because of that. The coy just purposely didn't want to recruit you.
They can tell you what they'll like to pay you if they really wanted you

To hell with offline jobs but as per how I operate and mentor prodigies as regards ONLINE JOBS negotiation power the best way to get an impressive pay is to have a fee benchmark alongside your work testimonials in your portfolio.
That way anyone approaching you is preview to your charges and won't bore you for negotiations or you can outrightly turn down or refer those that can't afford your fee charge.

In another news if you an entrepreneur or have a venture you need to activate and boost your product or services online my sales boost locomotive that will guarantee you of @least 100 active clients in 50days goes for $100. For more details or deal reach out via the facebook ID on my profile.

Yes

I negotiated because I know I bring more that what was offered.

They renegotiated and it was still not up to desired. I told them I couldn't sign the deal. 2 years later they contacted if I am still interested for proposed amount. I told them no, as I just added another certification to what I had.

You bleeped up Sha. For your friend to bring the money to your house sef shows he's a good fellow. He knew the principle of lending. He was willing to Lend an amount he can afford to forfeit.

Yes and I won't call it a loss, I was only considering it then because the employer and I had a mutual friend. Truth is you are worth what you say you're worth and unless you demand it you won't get it. Besides working for yourself should be everybody's aim
