I passed the 1st interview and got called in for the 2nd round. Everything went REALLY WELL, and I got the job offer the next day. But of course, not every story has a happy ending. The salary... is not what I expected. Right now I’m talking with HR, not the boss. Should I directly negotiate my salary with the boss? Is it okay to ask for his contact from HR to discuss salary expectations personally? I believe HR is not gonna get me the numbers I want. If any, they only gonna reduce it 😒

Umm, usually HR tends to stick to their budget no matter how well you did in the interview. Even if you ask to speak to the boss, they’ll probably just redirect you back. For me, might not be worth the awkwardness.

Honestly, I'd be careful about going around HR to the boss directly, that could rub HR the wrong way and they're usually the gatekeepers for this stuff. Plus the boss probably set a budget range that HR is working within anyway.

Nice one on acing the interviews! 🙌 Negotiating salary is totally normal, dont worry! HR might just need a little nudge to meet you halfway. Just be kind, confident, and clear about what you’re hoping for. All the best!

I’m not afraid of hr I know how they used their power against people….!!!!! They might conquer the company but they step out they are nothing…!!!! They are having a lot of attention now!!!!!! People are not happy with the hr personnel especially the higher ups. And when they have those hr conferences people are spying on them as well, what they were talking and teaching in the conference!!!!!! Hr goes around destroying people’s lives and livelihood and people’s rice bowl!!!!!

I think when u join company is initially totally depends on what HR offers. once u join then only depends on boss during appraisal that too will depend on if u are exceptionally performing well

I think it’s okay to ask HR about salary flexibility. Put it in a way like you’re excited but want to align expectations. Pstt, people forget negotiation is part of the process.
