While we are going strong..

Since I have just started, i thought let me carry on the momentum.
Since the interviews have started, i was wondering about the 'negotiator's curse'. If at the end of the interview, you do negotiate quite hard, does the interviewer feel that he has selected a capable candidate? esp. for procurment roles or does he feel irritated that you are trying to act greedy even though you got a great offer. On the other hand if you don't negotiate, does it mean he has got a loser? Comments?

In life the most important lesson one can learn is to maintan a balance. Negotitations during interviews fall under the same purview:) Adding to your random quotes:)

thats perhaps the reason they have diff stages in an interview ... simlilar to the sales cylce ....

Initial presentations ... "product" evaluation .... negotiations

so by the last HR interview basic funda is clear - you want them they want you too !!!

There is fine line between good negotiations and hard negotiations ..... i feel nego during the job interview should be the former afterall you both might soon be on the same side !!!!
