Will negotiating salaries lead to the offer being pulled out ?
Hi everyone.
First of all, thanks for reading.
I might get an offer soon. Speaking with the HR about the salary range, I’d guess she tried to make me lower my salary expectations. I won’t go there in detail but I think I’ll have to negotiate the salary they would offer me, and anyway, I’ve heard we should do it most of the time.
The question is, if being polite and assertive, could the offer be pulled out at some point ?
Let’s say, I get an offer per email, which is what she told me would happen. I’d call her to ask for something let’s say 5-10% higher. She would have to come back to me to confirm. Is it possible they just say « we moved on with somebody else » or just « no » and end the communications with me without being able to find a compromise OR even to accept the first offer ?
Because actually I would be the only risk of negotiating at this point.
I can imagine telling her I’m worth this much because I bring this much experience which is also very specific, and that it would be better because I plan to stay for the long run (a lower salary prompting peoole to look for something else etc, which I wouldn’t explicitely say).
Thanks a lot. I’ve never negotiatied my salary so far so your help is more than welcome !
I wish you a nice day
