That's why you always try and get them to give a number first. "Oh, that's negotiable, what do you have budgeted for the position?" - Ender Apr 15, 07:36
on the other hand - when they know what you make/want and then they ask if you can be " flexible" - Epiphany Apr 15, 07:27 8
- But, that's when you can start talking about benefits. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 07:29 7
  - three extra days vacation time, to start. (this is always negotiable.) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 15, 07:36
  - well, those are either going to be there or not. it's not like you can get them to throw some in when they were going to be there - zork Apr 15, 07:32 3
    - We've had people here negotiate telecommuting and extra days off. We have no room financially, of course, but you can work out special schedules and - Amy Apr 15, 07:38
    - I don't know what I'd ask for. I don't think my company does bonuses. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 07:33 1
      - like I said "not unless you're some big exec" -- nm - zork Apr 15, 07:33
  - in my industry, bennies are pretty standard. not much wiggle there. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 07:30 1
    - at this stage - I can't give up my vacation time - Epiphany Apr 15, 07:35
and either way, unless you are close to their number, you look like the wrong person (not good enough or will be resentful) -- nm - zork Apr 15, 07:24
I was honest and said it depends, but would likely not take less than my current salary and then gave the amount. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 15, 07:23
