Re: Posted Pay Ranges & Government Jobs
Good input, folks. My plan is to try to get the interviewer(s) to agree
with me as often as possible that I'm a fit, and then call that to their
attention if/when they make an offer. If I get them to agree that I'm a
line-item fit for their requirements, I'd think it would put me in a
position of negotiating strength.
If you're really into gaming the situation, when you hear an offer, repeat the figure - then say nothing for about thirty seconds or more. When you finally say something, remark that it seems a little low, or else ask what chance there is for increases in the first year. You may find that you can get a better offer. But you need nerves of steel and other bodily parts of brass to do something like this.
