Counter Offer
- Sometimes you may receive an offer that is under your expectations which we suggested you review the pros and cons for your current employment against the new offering. Salary and compensation packages are highly measured; They are not the only elements to build a successful, long-term career. You may also consider company values, culture, people and the reason you would look for a change of career as a start.
Salary negotiation
Usually, this negotiation process only happens to the more experienced positions, based on the market price level, your past work achievements and experiences and abilities. Most entry-level position’s salary and benefits are final set in stone which does not allow for the opportunity of negotiation.
