@boardroomconfidential: ⚠️ Warning: HR trap! Never say yes to a verbal offer. The more you agree upfront, the less likely you are to be able to negotiate more later. #negotiationtips #joboffer #jobtips #careertips #careeradvice #corporatetiktok
Problem is most engineering offers must have verbal acceptance prior to receiving in writing.

I agree to one thing over the phone verbally but when I got the contract in writing, it was significantly lower so I declined.

This is why I respond with, “I’m excited to see the formal written offer and will get back to you once I’ve received and reviewed it.”

My last negotiation, I asked for 48 hours to consider the verbal offer. In that time I countered via email. I got everything I asked for. 💁🏾♀️

..and never say “I probably will accept accept but need to look into details first”. “Thanks for the offer I’ll look into it” is the best answer

NEVER accept a verbal offer, say thank you and ask for a written offer!

in this economy, I would say yes right away, ask if I can get the offer letter asap, and start working next week.

That’s why I always think for a few days and discuss with family.

I get wanting to save $, but as a company don't you feel like it could backfire to hire someone at a salary where you're undervaluing them? Couldn't it affect their performance on the job? I feel like letting them counter at least once is a win-win.

Tech recruiter here. At my company (huge corp), we can’t send written offer without a verbal yes. If you never give verbal yes, you’re never hired

Can you do a video on how to politely remove yourself from consideration after going through several interviews?

I’ll give a verbal yes but it’s not a done deal till I sign, for either the company or myself. Verbal agreements *can* be contracts, but 1/2

I once tried to negotiate less than 10% higher (less than 3k) than their original offer and it took them 3 weeks to say NO. 🤦🏻♂️

That doesn’t work in Europe and it creates distrust. One sends the offer with a deadline.

That just happened to me. I was saying I was excited and was going to wait on writing. The manager “can I accept this as yes?!” I felt trapped 1/2

I’m a manager & never try to get a yes out of them on the phone. I say “no need to respond until x day. Let me know if you have questions! Congrats!”
