複習一下上次篇最後的一個應對:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Recruiter: Congrats, Brian. I got good news for you. The team really likes you and we want to give you an offer. Can you tell me your salary expectation now?
Me: Thanks. That's great news to hear. I also had a good time with the team. Since I don't know the position level, role's expectation, and the company budget for the person with my skills and experience, I think it will be better that you provide the offer number first.

Recruiter: Great news, Brian, after I discussed with the hiring manager, we would like to offer you the software engineer position based in our San Francisco HQ office. The base salary would be $90,000/year. 1000 unit of RSU vesting in 4 years, $5,000 sign on bonus, and 10% target bonus yearly.
Me: Thank you for the wonderful news and the offer details. I felt really excited when I interviewed with the team and can't wait to work on the project the team will focus on this year.
Me: Based on the market data, to be compensated fairly with my skills, education level, and experience, I'm looking at the base salary range of $110,000 to $120,000/year and 2000 unit of RSU. I want to get to a number we can collaboratively agree on.
H1B Salary Database: 利用 2019 年公司幫忙申請工作簽證的資料來知道美國公司請外國人職位及薪水概況。 一個很重要的談判溝通技巧是提到你想要 “to be compensated fairly”, 以及 “I want to get to a number we can collaboratively agree on”。一方面來說,期待公司可以給你一個符合市場行情的薪水, 同時也表達了我希望可以和公司一起合作談出一個雙方都可以接受的數字。 談判不是爭執, 需要兩方都願意一起為最終的結果來努力才有可能有好的結果。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Thank you so much for your opportunity. I can't wait to get started. I look forward to working with you on this and to executing the top goals in the next six months.
Thank you for providing me the updated written offer. After reviewing the written offer and the benefit plan, I have a few concerns that I wish to discuss with you.
I’m currently in the middle of my job search and would be forgoing some opportunities and offers I am excited about; For example, I'm about to have on-site interview at Facebook and Google soon and I have other offers at hands. I enjoyed the time speaking with the team at OOO, and really excited about the projects there. If OOO can increase the base salary by $10, 000 to a total of USD $XXX,XXX/Yr., I’d end my job search now and accept offer at OOO today.
Thanks. I am really excited for the chance of becoming part of the OOOO family. I look forward to hearing from you.
我的 email 是希望 increase the base salary by $10, 000, 你也可以改成 sign on bonus, RSU, relocation bonus 等等。很多公司為了怕最後候選人還是接受其他公司, 都願意最後再加一些籌碼讓你簽約。尤其是我強調 "end my job search now and accept offer today", 都會讓公司知道你是認真想要加入他們, 如果沒有完全答應你提出的最後要求,可能也能提供給你接近你的數字的 counter offer。
