I Start Tomorrow! in These Foolish Things

Well guys, I start my next job tomorrow. Fully remote, and I was able to negotiate $5K more annually, which still doesn’t cover my portion of the medical insurance premiums, but I’m making due until the next gig works out.
I got the title all worked out as well. And I should be able to figure out how to quietly search for additional opportunities during the day since this is all WFH.
I realize that might not be the best way to look at things, but I also know that I had to figure out a way to make this anxiety settle down. And I know that making a living wage is definitely going to help.
I’ll try to save as much as I can while also living life like a normal human being. I need to make more friends and go on more dates. I am lonely. My life goes on hold when I don’t have a job!
So, let’s start manifesting not only important things to come in the future, but better things as well.
Thanks for being there. Here we go…

All right! I will be excited to hear how the first day goes and how you like the new position!

congrats! I'd love to know what technique you used to negotiate your salary. I'm in the middle of salary negotiations now and their top range is my bottom range. I'd love at least $5K more, but not sure how to approach it without scaring them off.
i've been a hiring manager in the past when someone tried to negotiate and I, along with the hiring team, decided that if they were going to do that before the job was taken, what were they going to be like as an employee throughout the year?
I know salary negotiation is normal, but i've actually never had luck with it. would love your guidance!
thanks and congrats again!

Whooooooooooo! Congratulations! It's always easier to get a job if you've got a job so it won't hurt to continue to talk to the other company. And you can always explain away a short employment on your resume! xx

Actually, I think it's the right way to look at things. Employment is just contracting with a lot of the details undiscussed. Employers will let you go when they are done with you, with minimal hesitation. So we should do our professional best but that includes looking out for ourselves and taking the opportunities that come. And you'll make a professional exit when the time and opportunity is right.

Congratulations! :)
