I wish you had made these videos back in 2015 or Earlier. You have provided a lot of Good Information here and you have pointed out many mistakes that candidates make while negotiating Salary. I wish I had a guide before i negotiated mine.

I attended an online interview two days ago. I spent 4 days preparing for the interview, I was mentally ready and raring to go. The interview started, the Hiring manager didn't even introduce herself and the 1st question she asked was to explain my current job role, and then she straight up asked what my salary is (I come from the middle east and it has become normal for hiring managers/ recruiters to ask this question and the interviewees are expected to give an answer) when I told her how much my salary was, she ended the interview by saying, "Thank you so much for your time, we'll get back to you." , and she disconnected the call...... It was extremely unprofessional, and not to mention, a total utter waste of my time....and I am glad I didn't end up getting a job there. Why are people like this...

[@codygordon59]

Alot of employers are cheap fucks and are offended that people want to be paid at all.

[@fixipszikon6670]

@@codygordon59 Correct.

[@diogomeneses48]

Also to add onto what others said. I'm sure all that preparation was worth it!

[@jakez3171]

In my opinion, they did you a favor by not wasting your time. I went through 3 separate interviews and hours of prep time with a company before the hiring manager tells me that I was overqualified for their position and that they did not have the authorization needed to meet even the low end of my salary range. What really pissed me off was that the HR recruiter in my 1st interview asked for a salary range and said it was manageable. I was extremely pissed!

[@6ftgentle863]

Wow. You should definitely say something to their management team. Often times they give people the interviewer duties and trust that they are being professional. That is not the case all the time. Say something

[@thefallen55555]

In my last salary negotiation, I waited until the end but then they asked me to make an offer first. What I did is ask a little bit more money than what I was thinking I was worth it. And only to make it seem like I really knew what I was talking about, I gave them a number that was not round (like 71 instead of 70). They then offered to me a little bit less and I accepted immediately. One of the best KZbin channels out there, keep up the great work!

[@LAOTHAIASEANINFINANCETRAVEL]

This analogy is perfect and how it ties to the salary range! First don’t get eliminated then become an asset so you “have a leg to stand on” before you start negotiating a salary!

[@abhishekdev258]

True indeed

[@DZ-bb8my]

I went to my first interview ever after watching your videos and I got the job 😊 I can't thank you enough

[@Jziegenhirt]

Great videos! I did this all wrong and somehow was not eliminated first round. Company reached out for first interview via email, I replied asking for salary range, they provided range and I asked for max amount during first interview. Was just asked for second interview and I'm now more confident. Thanks!

[@thejebusite]

Have been in an interview process for a company over the last week, and I followed the advice Bill provided. Thankfully, all the interviews have been over the phone, or online, so have been able to totally script my answers. I took the effort to test run my pre-written answers so I felt comfortable by not sounding I was reading a script, and ensured I was within a set time for each answer. I had literally every question asked that Bill had videos on including my salary expectations. I gave the range, and now, 5 interviews later I am hopeful to get the offer. Having then this video posted today is fantastic timing (for me) so THANK YOU BILL!! So, from personal experience, Bill is totally correct. Great You tube channel

[@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_]

5 interviews is a red flag on itself.

[@thejebusite]

@@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_ no, not at all. 1. The HR interview. 2&3. With the CFO (the second one was me presenting an excel model) 4. Was the VP of procurement, and 5. Was with the president of the company. So, it totally depends on the type of job I suppose.

[@spiritled7896]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, your presentation comes across like good fatherly counsel. You helped me understand the hiring process from the employers perspective, but also your demeanor is calming and encouraging and has helped lower my anxiety about being interviewed. Thank you for serving the community in this way! You’re Awesome!

[@papagiorgiopaparapapowski1139]

Thank you for the video. I had never, until now, understood how the game worked with naming a salary range, because I was not aware of the “Gatekeeper” fase and fear of being offered the lowest end of the range, as well as not being aware that I had more leverage once I got past the further stages of the hiring process. This video goes hand in hand with that other one that teaches about salary expectations. Maybe you can share your knowledge about negotiation in general. Possibly in a series of videos since it is a complex subject. Cheers.

[@ArturD2]

Appreciate all the quality information! I just got an interview to work remotely, my pc decided to install updates just a few minutes before 😂... I called them right away to reschedule asap!

[@berrydoos]

Thank you for your in-depth analysis. I am in the middle of the interview process and I have one with HR tomorrow. I wasn’t sure if I should provide a range or an exact figure. But thank you so much for your insight.

[@danieldimitrov5230]

We also got our eyes on you, Bill, and that’s because you’re the best in business!

[@giselo06]

Nice vid. Looking forward to the series. The salary range for the role I recently took was like 70k-130k on LinkedIn .. I didn’t want to sell myself short but didn’t want to be wayyy out of the park when I responded to a desired range (post interview, pre offer letter). It was a funny semi-awkward negotiation (from my perspective). I was already a contractor so the negotiation was happening over our chat and I basically danced around providing a range ie “yes I have a range in mind, I’m not sure how it compares to the grade level and role here..I’m open to seeing what is offered and taking it from there” It was complete stalemate in chat until she threw out a range first and then I provided my range. I’m very happy with my salary but I think I could’ve gotten more IF I knew what I was doing.

[@murillomozuch1577]

I mean, you got a pretty good job so you will probably be able to further increase your salary in the future by getting more knowledge of the company standards.

[@LisaRamseyArt]

I understand you are a former CEO. As someone who has not worked in such upper management, and does not aspire to do so, I appreciate that your videos still translate down to a lower professional level. Your tone and ability to make this feel like a conversation helps me to feel less intimidated of what level you’ve accomplished in your career. I sincerely apologize for coming in all judgy based on your extraordinarily crisp white shirt and CEOness. I’m glad I took a chance. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@LisaRamseyArt]

Ok, so it isn’t white.

[@whitefanggaming3479]

Thank you for the advise. I always got eliminated on the initial interview. But because of your advise, I finally got on the stage of final interview and now I am waiting for the job offer.

[@mercyfaith2928]

This video is very timely 😀 i really need this one. I was browsing yesterday if you have video about this but found none. And now, it's just uploaded 🥰

[@JIeshaz]

Many thanks for that video. It's logical and simple at sight but honestly I did see that salary range as scary thing especially with the lowest border. It's always better to have some bad offers with you than none. Having an offer doesn't push you to accept it, there is always an option to reject. And it's convinient to have some offers to negotiate with another employer and convince them by telling that you already have another offer.

[@comewhatmayshakespeare4277]

Hi Bill, you are a really expert on the matters you are talking about and I fully like your personal way of thinking and speaking. Sometimes I.

[@blankmedia01]

Using time pressure in negotiation always works a charm. I like the way you went at this topic, will definitely apply it. In the past I think I've been a little less strategic, I usually go with thanks for the offer. Then say I'm going to have to think about it not sure about the salary. Then I let it marinade until they call back, at such a point. I say hey was planning to call you back etc, is there any way we can update the salary without mentioning numbers which pushes things out.

[@frankm2385]

Your prior video made perfect sense and is basically common sense which is not very common. If people can’t understand your basic concepts they may want to try the local burger stand for employment. Awesome videos!

I was asked what my expectations were in my interview yesterday. I guess I'm a day late and a dollar short but I think I answered appropriately. Unfortunately, the salary was basement and very little wiggle room due to the corporation and the position. The hiring manager vows to go to bat to get me every penny he can. And he was making sure to warn me not to burn him lol. Look dude..I've been needing this job like so yesterday!!! Ain't gonna happen!

[@Roscoesadie]

Great video. My current salary is base $3300 a month + 3% on gross. Average ticket is 25k. Once I close 100K in sales I'm going to ask for 5% because 3% is ridiculous.

Love your videos! Here is my tricky situation: Before the covid I was selected for a job (around March 2020), but the pandemic hit and they called up that it will be postponed, but we will keep in touch. They actually called me one time about how I am doing in the lockdown. Now its 10 months later and the same company found me (through linkedin just like before), but a different recruiter if I am interested in a job. Should I call up my previous contact? I do have a job, its just getting a little 'boring', so I wouldnt mind the change.

Great job sir. You're videos are priceless, very educative and informative. God increase your wisdom.

[@thedudeabides1443]

Had a recent offer from a company doing essentially the same duties as my last job but with more travel and less days off-plus the salary was about $75k LESS than my last position. I “gave them” traveling more and taking less time off, and asked them to meet me in the middle for a salary increase. They wouldn’t BUDGE. Needless to say, I walked away.

[@DanielPereira-vc9ms]

Finding a talent for cheap doesn't work very well in some areas. If the market you're applying to has more job openings than candidates, chances are that recruiting someone for cheap will translate into them leaving the company early and the recruitment and training process will have to be restarted, causing delays for the company. This doesn't invalidate anything that you've said, but some companies have already caught on and their recruiters have been instructed to find solid talent and keep them happy inside the range they've been given. Just wanted to share this with you.

[@travishawks7702]

Thanks for the information. I have watched quite a few of your videos and I find them helpful. Please keep them coming! The negotiation series sounds like an amazing idea. I do have two related questions if the time to answer them (maybe the are possible video's). 1) When asking for a higher pay rate, how much more money is reasonable to ask for? That might be tricky to answer with an exact number, but perhaps some tips? 2) When negotiating, how much back and forth can you do? You don't want to risk them resending the offer but people also advise not taking the first offer (which I did right out of college).

How much back and forth, post offer is recommended. I received an offer a the bottom of the salary range from the job post. I replied that I'm super qualified and was hoping for the top end of the that range....they came back with an offer at the middle. Is it poor form to push for the top end?

[@jimgeorger4452]

Ask if there are published company values? When we got a new CEO, he published 7 company values, and they were communicated and posted. At first we rolled our eyes in a “Gag-me “ fashion, but over time it proved to be a basis upon which HR could advocate for employees. So if a manager belittled an employee in public, they violated “Respect for Individual Dignity” and had to account for that.

[@staystrongpeople4942]

So I applied for an accounting position that had a posted salary of 48 to 52k. I had a phone interview on Monday and nothing in regards to salary was mentioned by either of us. I then had an interview today and again nothing was mentioned. I guess it is safe to assume that if they make me an offer it will be in the range of 48k to 52k lol?
