āWe donāt negotiate salariesā is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I donāt appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but thatās negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didnāt want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but itās not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. [ā¦]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
