salary negotiation: pasar malam style

What is the professional way to negotiate salaries? isn't everyone trying to fleece each other? all stuff about win-win and see the big picture are nonsense. every dollar counts and now!!!

The only joker around is you – the way you do salary negotiation is unprofessional like pasar malam style is a disgrace to both your company and the HR world.

We called him and offered him 8.5k.

Now he tells us "I know you are billing the client for 20k, so please pay me 15k".

I cannot find another guy in the market and this guys is just too difficult to deal with.

Jokers like this make a mockery of the system.

I went to SCB for a Business Analyst role. Been thru 2 rounds already. Salary not yet been discussed, let alone negotiated.
How many more rounds might follow? In how many months? It is already Sept....

I anyway do not have the contact details of HR.
How many weeks/months for the process to be completed - reject/success is fine - I just need to know the outcome.

Move on with your life.

Dun bother to call, they will not entertain u one. They process thousands of applicants for hundreds of VP jobs everyday, nobody will go & dig out your file details to give you an update.

Just standard reply "processing" is all u will get.

Singaporeans should apply through jobsbank and not through the main portal. At least MOM can check how many applications from Singaporeans. By applying through the main portal, Singaporeans are encouraging the companies to get foreigners.

Foreigners should apply through the portal, Singaporeans through the jobsbank.

Beats me - how come there are 30 openings but only 12 applicants?
How many of these have been interviewed and rejected? Any offers made?

Are you sure is that high? Looking at the job and openings, looks more like general sales accounts exec...
