My friend goes for an interview,and since he is desperate he says he wants 40k,now one of the guys being interviewd says 60k which is what the company is offering,on top of that the interviewer knows one of the referees and is actually promised the job,but she is having doubt coz the 60k is just slightly above what he gets and the new co. Doesn't have benefits i.e hospital etc..Assuming the 60k guy rejects the offer and my 40k buddy is hired,is there a possibility he will be given the 60k.any1 with such an experince of quoting a lower figures.NO JOKES

Thankyou,but hapo makosa imeshafanyika''....we start from there

They will pay her what they pay staff at that level which is 60K. Different salaries on one line are a cause of many headaches. If you quote low you'll most likely get the 60K unless it is a CEO job or highly specialized job or special individual,where it's heard to get someone,or a thick company. BTW in kawa jobs quoting too high and qualifying it/insisting is a blunder . I think you saw the posting on salaries here,companies pay more or less the same for the same level.

Learn something new everyday

if the company got a salary scale then they may pay him 60K....

otherwise,they will pay him less than 40K for a start (what he had quoted) and may be 40K upon passing the probation....


When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly....

My friend,the world has changed. It's now a get more out of your employee for less world. If she asked for 40k then 40k is what she'll get.
