WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Take a Rival Job Offer to Your Boss · 23 Aug 2021 podcast

Think about what the president is at your organization. matched

I mean, this really depends. matched

Like the last time someone did this, did they just like get sent walking? matched

And does your boss have the ability to say yes or no to this or are they going to have to run it up the chain? matched

And if they have to run it up the chain, what does that person think about whatever it is you really want? matched

So if you really want to work from home and that's kind of your like end goal here, you're trying to kind of use this offer as leverage to get permanent work from home, what does your boss's boss – matched

think about, you know, working from home. matched

I think you really have to go into this with a clear mind as to what the possible avenues are and how people feel about what you're asking for. matched

I think it's all about the way that you frame it. matched

I think if you take it to your boss and you don't like frame it as if like it's this ultimatum, you're on your way out of here. matched

But if you say like a recruiter came to me or I really want to stay, but this is making me think about the job market and my future career here and I don't want to feel like I'm giving up so much, you can show that you're conflicted. matched

And I think... matched

kind of the way in which you communicate this situation will go a long way toward what the outcome is and what your options are. matched

A professor told me, if possible, it also helps to have this conversation in person. matched

Obviously, that's hard with the pandemic. matched

But even if you can sit outside, you know, over a cup of coffee with your boss, there's research showing that people are kind of more likely to get what they're asking for in negotiations if they ask face-to-face versus, you know, over email. matched

One compensation expert I talked to told me that you, you know, ideally, especially if you're going for more money, you want to ask about six months after your company's annual process. matched

So kind of like right in the middle there, if it's too close to the point at which they're going to be giving everyone raises, they might just roll it into your normal raise and you're not going to see that much of a pickup. matched

So I think that's one thing to think about if, you know, if you can control that timing. matched

Yeah, so I talked to a few workers who had been through this before. matched
