Schlim --
Before I received my formal COE by letter, I received a phone call where they told me they would be sending me a COE at Step X.
I countered that Step X was well below my current salary. The recruiter immediately came back with an offer of X+2.
I countered with the fact that another agency was offering me X+6. The person on the phone was not authorized to offer that but told me they would check with their supervisor. The next day I got an e-mail confirming my COE was in the mail with an offer of X+6.
All of this was done in one phone call in about 15 minutes.
All that being said, other than comparing their offer to a higher current salary and/or competing offer, I'm not sure how one would negotiate a higher step. Maybe SurferDude or some of the others here have some additional insight. |

Thanks.
I wonder if they've ever used the poly to see if you really had that +6 offer. ;-)
