Congratulations! You have successfully gone through multiple rounds of interviews and you’ve received an offer. What’s next? Are you so relieved and pleased that you accept the offer on the spot or do you enter into some form of negotiations? Most employers will expect you to negotiate with a few exceptions. Some public, government, and university jobs have set institution-wide pay scales with established benefits. There might be a union which is representing all employees in negotiating a contract. However, in most other instances it is acceptable and expected that there be some negotiations.
