ABSTRACT:
A recent CareerBuilder survey found that most workers (56%) do not negotiate for better pay when offered a job. They avoid it because they don’t feel comfortable asking for more money (51%), they are afraid the employer won’t hire them (47%), or they don’t want to appear greedy (36%). Women are particularly hesitant to negotiate.
On the other side, most employers expect a counteroffer! 52 percent say when they first extend a job opportunity, they offer a lower salary than they’re willing to pay, to allow room to negotiate. How much money is being left on the table? More than a quarter of employers say their initial salary offer is 10% less than what they’re willing to offer.
This accumulated salary gap compounds over time. Studies have shown that an individual who fails to negotiate from the start of their career onward could miss out on a million dollars over their lifetime: https://www.businessinsider.com/not-negotiating-costs-workers-1-million-2013-9
