Warning, HR trap. When I was a VP, I would call job candidates and give them a verbal offer over the phone before sending them a written one, and before I hung up, I pleasantly but directly try to get them to give me a verbal yes. It's half sales tactic, half-jet eye-mind trick. If a candidate agrees even verbally, you gain a lot of leverage. Why? Technically, there are legal grounds in some places that could deem this as an official acceptance, but that's not the point. You aren't trying to trap anyone. The leverage comes from creating the perception that the agreement is done and dusted. The more a person agrees up front, the less likely they are to re-nag or negotiate more later. With that in mind, if you're the candidate, do the exact opposite. Politely say, "Thanks for the offer, and keep your poker face." Never give them a verbal yes. Tell them you look forward to going over the details, and you'll be back in touch soon. Doesn't have to be complicated. For more tips and tricks from maximizing your compensation, hit follow, and I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.

🤯 If you joined Nvidia 5 years ago as a junior employee with a $400k equity grant vested over 4 years, just that initial grant would be worth about $13M today. Not bad. Here's the lesson: yes stock options and RSUs are lottery tickets BUT you cannot get wealthy—truly wealthy—without equity. There is no way that cash comp alone can make you rich, even at places like Nvidia, Amazon, Apple etc. Heck, even Tim Cook's salary is only $3m - and let's face it, the rest of us are never going to be him. So yes, make sure that cash and benefits are the driving forces of every offer BUT also, don't gloss over the equity and just take what they give you. That's a recipe for regret—and trust me, I've been there. #executive #corporatetiktok #corporatelife #corporate #careeradvice #careertiktok #career #saas #startup #startups
