What To Do After Getting a Job Offer - Search Firm Mumbai Tips While it’s gratifying to be treated with such respect from the employer who is hurting to have you on board as soon as possible, now is not the time to throw caution to the wind. You still want to make sure this is the right job for you. You still want to preserve your bargaining position. And you still want to establish the expectations, goals, and responsibilities of your new role. You want the company or the top recruitment company to make an offer first. If you volunteer your expectations first, you may be naming a salary or other requirements (e.g., flex time, a commission, or a title) that remove you from consideration, even though you might have found their offer acceptable. Or you may be asking for less than they were willing to give. In that case, you’ll not only shortchange yourself, but may even cause them to think that you aren’t quite as valuable as they had believed. So, get the company or the recruitment firm to define the position, the responsibilities, and the compensation first, preferably in writing. Then do your negotiations. Suppose you find the offer totally acceptable? You’ll still want to do some negotiating, even if you decide to accept the original terms. This is to prevent buyer’s remorse—maybe you’ve been offered too much! Maybe the salary review should be delayed beyond the normal 6 months to compensate! Weighing Your Own Requirements Earlier, I recommended that you must prepare a weighted list of must-haves and nice-to-haves as part of your preparation for interviewing. Now’s the time to refer to that list. How does this job measure up? Is it a 95, an 85, or maybe a poor 35? If it’s so bad, why are you considering it? Something better should come along soon – maybe a call from a leading executive search firm will arrive sooner than expected. Just keep working at it in the ways I recommend. If it’s a 95, why keep looking? Nothing’s perfect, and very little is 95! But if the job rates somewhere in between, you have a tougher decision. Perhaps you have one offer, several prospects, and a few more distant possibilities. Try using your rating scale to see what’s good and not so good about each. Then try to clarify whether the apparent differences are real and whether you have omitted any factors that are important to you, but are not named as one of your must-haves or nice-to-haves. If you’re considering several positions that are within a few points of each other and well into the 80's or 90's, there probably is no wrong choice. Just develop all these opportunities to the best of your ability. You may find that some of what’s attractive about one position (tuition reimbursements, moving allowances, sign-on bonuses, etc.) can be negotiated for another position.
