Offer Negotiation and Decision

 It’s time to cover the delicate dance around money, and to (almost) quote Shakespeare, “To accept, or not to accept, that is the question”.

How do I negotiate the package most effectively, where I don’t leave money on the table, but also don’t lose the opportunity by being greedy?

How do I know if I should accept the role or not? How do I work out if the nerves I’m feeling about the change are genuinely a concern, or just my “Lizard Brain” jumping in to the unwelcome rescue? Read on to find out…..

 

Offer Negotiation

  1. Look at the entire package – basic salary isn’t everything
  2. Be realistic – a raise of 10% is about right; ask your recruiter for market insights here on sector averages
  3. What development opportunities might there be for you by taking this role? Even a move for parity could result in big progression in the future if you make the right move

Making a decision

The first thing to remember is why you started this journey in the first place. Look at what drove you to explore options.

Then ask yourself

  • How will this new opportunity solve the challenges I am experiencing in my current role?
  • What opportunities to learn, grow and develop might this new opportunity present me?
  • Can I see myself working with the people in this new company?

And finally……. Can I see myself working in this team?

 

You’ll know if it’s the right role for you – use your gut feel.

Crucially, don’t be afraid of taking a new role – it can be quite nerve-racking with the Amygdala brain telling you that you’re taking a risk, but this is why you look at how the new opportunity will address your pains that you have now, or help you grow and learn new things.

You can always speak to team members and your new boss before accepting to run through any last questions.
