Negotiate Your Offers!
Summary
negotiating over pay or stock options or whatever; I’m talking about the actual things you’re agreeing to, like non-solicitation clauses (promises not to try to recruit other employees away after you leave, for some period of time). So I talked with the HR person who was in charge of hiring me and they got some changes made, and eventually I signed the offer. This sounds a lot like privilege, and I admit that since I was not in financial hardship and had prior work experience (and thus presumably other options), I knew I didn’t have to take whatever they offered me. And remember, at most places the hiring manager is not going to be involved in the legal details of your offer, so there’s not much chance of them being grumpy about it other than “we’d like to know as soon as possible” and “we’d like you to start as soon as possible”. And this advice probably doesn’t apply to other professions; in particular, anywhere where the interview process is simple and there’s a broad candidate pool, the company might just tell you to take it or leave it.
