Negotiating A Counter Offer ~ Need Your Opinion/ Help!!!
This will be my first go around at negotiating an offer (2nd job out of undergrad) and I am interested in seeing what other people's experiences have been like. So my question is, If an Employer were to make an offer that was within your salary range (exactly halfway within your range)
1) Do you accept the "average" offer or is it reasonable to counter/negotiate toward the higher end of that range (asking for $5k more)?
2) And If you were to try to push the envelope by asking for ($5k) more, what is the likely hood of them pulling the offer? is that a possibility?
3) Do you think it shows a lack of respect toward their original offer if I counter towards the higher end?
****I don't want to low ball myself but also dont want to price myself out of the game! PLEASE HELP!****

Interesting video, thanks
Well you are a fresh grad getting a 71k offer. Your resume is your 'product' that makes you a valuable commodity and I'm going to guess your only value is your school name with no experience. Your first offer is 40% higher than the average starting salary for finance grads and instantly puts you in the top 8% of earners in the country. Take the offer you ungrateful shit.
Disregard the former condescension if this isn't your first full time job post grad and you are weighing offers about whether to leave your current employment.
ArcherVice This will be my 2nd job out of undergrad...Do I stick with the decent offer or push for a few thousand more?
If you are perfectly happy with where you are and the comp is the same (or close), you can afford to be patient and name your price so to speak. If you really want to make the move and/or its already a pretty good raise, take it and run with it.
Edit: It really depends on your situation. If you are putting Google on your resume, I would get the name on my resume regardless of the pay. If I'm in a good role with good advancement lined up already, I wouldn't leave into an unknown unless the pay was where I wanted it. They should be prepared to negotiate, they may not be able to give you what you want but it'd be pretty shitty if they pulled the offer just because of that.
