I am going through the final stages of the hiring process for another company and we are about to come into and talk about salary. The HR lady told me that I should expect around $45k but it would depend on the departmental manager. She called me this morning and told me that he's thinking more around $42k. That would technically be a lateral movement in pay for me as I basically make that right now. I was looking towards maybe $46k-48k.
Is it best to stick to my guns about it or should I be flexible? Any advice on speaking points when I actually meet them face to face to discuss this? My current spot right now was talking about giving me a pay raise. What's the best way to use that as leverage? Most jobs I've applied to has been, this is the pay and that is it so I don't have much experience with it.
