We've seen candidates lose thousands by making these avoidable errors. Don't be one of them.
Accepting the first offer without negotiating
Typical cost: £5,000-15,000
Initial offers almost always have room. Even a 'final' offer usually isn't. A polite counter costs you nothing.
Giving a salary range instead of a specific number
Typical cost: Anchors at the bottom of your range
Say '£65,000' not '£60-70k'. Ranges signal that you'll accept the low end. Be specific and confident.
Negotiating without market data
Typical cost: Weak negotiating position
Use Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, and LinkedIn Salary Insights. Our AI pulls 2026 market data for your specific role and location.
Only negotiating base salary
Typical cost: Missing £5-20k in total comp
Signing bonus, equity, pension match, remote days, holiday allowance, and learning budget are all negotiable. Our tool covers the full package.
Using ultimatums or aggressive language
Typical cost: Relationship damage or rescinded offer
Frame as collaboration: 'I'd love to find a number that works for both of us.' Never threaten to walk unless you genuinely will.
Negotiating by phone when caught off guard
Typical cost: Unprepared = weaker outcome
If they call with the offer, say 'Thanks! Can I review the full package and get back to you tomorrow?' Then prepare your response properly.
Negotiation norms vary by market. Here's what to know depending on where you're applying.
ApplyArc's AI adjusts its suggestions based on market. Specify UK or US when generating your counter-offer.
Negotiation is almost always worth it. But there are a few situations where it's better to accept the offer and move on. Knowing when to hold back is just as important as knowing how to push. Pick your battles wisely and you'll build a reputation as someone fair and strategic.
If the company came in above your research range, pushing further can backfire. Say thank you and sign.
If you're unemployed with no other offers and bills are due, sometimes accepting and planning your next move in 12-18 months is the smarter play.
Some government roles, union positions, and early-stage startups have genuinely fixed compensation. Negotiate perks instead: remote days, start date, or professional development budget.
If a mentor or friend referred you and specifically said the offer is firm, trust their insider knowledge. The relationship is worth more than an extra £2k.
70% of people who negotiate get more. Be one of them.
