Hello everyone
would appreciate your feedback please.
i went for a job interview, was asked my expected salary and I gave. Thereafter i was offered the job on wednesday by the new firm and on that same day, my current employer gave me my annual pay increment (which was much higher than the usual increment we get previously).
I was told by a few pple that I should negotiate for a higher pay. And after consulting my friend who works in an employment agency, I decided to give it a try to ask for a slightly higher pay.
Usually the new firm is very quick and has been giving me prompt replies (within the same day). But after I told them about my desire to negotiate, they told me they will review and get back to me asap. But it has been about 2 days and no reply.
just wondering... is it normal that interviewees negotiate for higher pay after they are selected? Does it reflect badly on the person?
and how would you react if you are in this situation?
so sorry about the long post. I am not sweating over this but just curious whether it was a bad move.
thanks alot!
