This week we’re speaking with a woman who went against a recruiter's advice and negotiated a higher starting salary. Location: New York, NYTitle: HR GeneralistPrevious salary: $80kNegotiated Salary: $85kWhat was the situation when you decided to negotiate? I wasn’t looking for a new job, but one day a recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I was upfront with my situation: I wasn’t really looking to leave and I was happy where I was. I had a great interview with the CFO and I could tell that he thought I’d be a great fit for the role.
