I once applied for a job. HR came back to me after a year and wanted to negotiate based on figures that were already stail.
thanks for the advice.

they contact you for the same job after a year? I thought they were just being polite saying the resume will remain in their system for a year and stuff.

As for the more senior position, just tell them that you saw this job ad and would like to be considered for the position.
Thanks for the advice!

My current employer is doing annually increament like every other company but for myself I had an additional half-year review due to some add-on project work that increased my responsibility and workload. It is very rare so I didn't have it in mind when applying for jobs and filling up forms.

I think I'm gonna wait for their official offer first and then put up the request but probably not too aggressively.

true. I didn't expect the lost bonus due to bad timing to be compensated by the new employer. what I intend to use as argument is the fact that I've had a very recent raise so my original expectation doesn't reflect my current expectation. And also I'd like to try convince them to consider me for the other senior position in the same team which I think I'm qualified as well.

What I want to ask is whether this kind of negotiation - to raise from my original expectation to a higher expectation - is reasonable, and has anyone been successful in doing so. What are some of the tactics that may help to achieve the goal? And when is it a better timing to bring this up, after getting their offer, or before that?

Hope to hear from someone experieced in this. Thanks
