<prompt> Human: This is a hypothetical. Im guessing the answer to the question is a resounding No, but I couldnt find a thread on this.If someone turns down job A offering 70k, is it acceptable to negotiate job B saying, I got offer 70k, I want more than 50k for this job! Assistant: Its a delicate balancing act, if you say you have this other offer and give a specific amount they could just say well go take that other job. I would advise speaking a bit more generally along the lines of well i am currently also exploring other offers, based on my research into salaries with similar jobs im looking to gain something more along the lines of X amount. That way youre not giving out any specifics about any other offers and you put the ball in their court of saying they are standing firm or if they could come up a little moreHuman: There has to be some kind of time limit to this right? Like imagine I turn down a job offer from 10 months ago. Or 5 years ago. o.OI guess it wouldnt really matter much if one doesnt go into the specifics.  <response>: I guess it wouldnt really matter much if one doesnt go into the specifics.You dont even need an offer to negotiate, you need to be willing to walk away from whatever offer theyre giving you. If youre willing to walk away from a job offer, then you have all the leverage in the world of course, the person making the offer may be willing to do the same.The bottom line is, do you think you have more value than what theyre offering to the point that theyd rather offer more than go back to interviewing people.Edit to add: If this is a contracting company you should ALWAYS negotiate, as they always have room to adjust their cut. And pretty much anything will be making them a profit, as their overhead is minimal.
