So after what I thought were two hilariously bad interviews I got an offer. I wasn't too confident on the offer they were going to make so I made an initial offer of $60,000. They came back with $53,000 stating that my technical interview wasn't that great but I have lots of potential and that's why they countered with what they did. I completely agree that my interview was garbage and they are essentially acting on faith. How do I go about asking for more knowing this information and being in this situation? Overall it's a slight bump in pay to what I make now but I'd be completely happy with 55,000. The going from permatemp to full time with benefits is the main draw here so I guess I'm not too terribly worried if they say no.

C-Euro posted:Does this ever pan out? During the interview for my current job, when discussing career growth my manager stated that "for pay, the company likes to start people on the lower end of salary scale, but is aggressive with raises if they think you're valuable". Has anybody been fed the "aggressive growth" or "potential" line with regards to starting compensation, and then actually reaped the rewards? Yea I'm not really expecting any sort of drastic pay raises but with a year of work and another certification or two under my belt I should be able to leverage this position for something that pays more in line with industry standards pretty easily. They definitely have the advantage on this one. Luckily it's still a pay raise with benefits compared to my current job.

Well that was easy enough. My initial want was 60,000 with an initial offer of theirs being 53,000. I split the difference between the two and looks like we settled with 56,500.

Keep the line, ditch the "not first choice"

I think some examples of deflection on salary talk and such would be helpful for an OP
