[quote=Anonymous]Of course there are different answers in the other thread linked to above than the answers here. The thread in the other forum doesn't mention what kind of job, which makes a huge difference.

In the other thread, it would be easy to assume that the OP was posting about a job that might require specialized skills, which is why they may have bargaining power after an offer is made. If someone is a rocket scientist, and the company thinks they are a specific fit, then, yes, they might have power to negotiate after an offer is made.

Nannies don't have that kind of power. It's pretty easy to be a nanny, so if you wait until after an offer is made, a family can just decide to rescind the offer and move on to other candidates. Chances are they can find a good fit with another candidate. The company employing the rocket scientist might not.

So comparing the threads and bitching about all MBs is silly.

OP, I would hire a candidate who told me in the interview for sure, if I really wanted her for the job. I'd probably even hire her if she told me in the negotiation stage. The only time I would have a problem would be if she told me after she started working. I'd feel lied to by then.

Good luck on your job search. [/quote]
