[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this with my current position. I had to provide my prior pay stubs. I had almost all of the qualifications they were looking for so I had bargaining power. I was also able to negotiate a higher annual leave accrual rate. [/quote]

That's great to hear. Did you negotiate with HR after you received an offer? Or did you raise it with someone else?[/quote]

NP here. When HR called to offer me the position I mentioned I would like to negotiate because Step 1 was lower than my current salary. The HR rep tried to dissuade me since I was creating more work for him. But he is not in a position to actually negotiate. He took my concerns back to the hiring manager (the guy would be my future boss). I believe my request had to go up to the SES level where the SES had to write a memo to HR outlining why I should be brought in at a higher step. I was asked to submit two recent pay stubs. It delayed my on boarding by over a month but all worked out in the end. Good luck to you![/quote]
