Frequently asked questions- Salary/ Pay Rise:
Question 2: I have two confirmed job offers. I like company B more, but they are paying considerably less. Do I accept the company B's offer or ask company B to match the offer of the company A? Also, should I try to get more out of company B by telling them that I have another job offer? By the way I am currently unemployed, as I was laid off by my last employer 6 months ago. Answer First, it is a good idea to review & compare the whole salary packages & not just the base salaries. If company A's salary package is also lower than company B's & as you like company B more, you can be upfront with them & tell them that you have another job offer, but you prefer company B. You can try to negotiate with them. Ensure that they don't get the impression that you are not going to go back & forth between the two companies, as that can backfire plus you don't want to burn any bridges. If you are happy with the result, it is best to accept offer B. If you are not happy with the result, you can mention to company A that you have another job offer & see if you can negotiate with them. This really depends on how much risk you want to take, as they are already paying more than company B & you are not currently employed. It would be safer to just accept company A's offer.
