If you're at the point where you're haggling over salary, your relationship with your employer could be in trouble: Waving a competing offer at your boss might not end well.
Key Details
- When negotiating your initial job offer, discussing compensation and haggling over salary is fine and often expected.
- When you've already interviewed and received an offer from another company, that indicates you're willing to move on from the many components of your current job.
- You should never take a counteroffer. What almost always happens is that you've made your terms clear: You're just at the company for money.
