I've been working at a newly established firm for over a month and I haven't signed a contract yet.
HR kept telling me that they needed time to prepare contracts for everyone, but I've asked almost everyone else in my department and they've all said that they signed their contracts 2-3 weeks ago.
I asked the HR girl again and she said "Wow, you haven't signed your contract yet? Ok let me check and see what happened".
I agreed to a starting salary until signing the contract, and was told that after signing the contract the salary would be set depending on my position.
The firm has come together in a somewhat experimental way, allowing people to fall into their positions naturally.
Now that I've been with the firm for over a month, is it to my advantage or theirs?
Can I leverage the fact that I'm now established and comfortable in my position (i.e. they would need a few weeks to train a replacement to my level) and can I use this to negotiate a higher salary?
Or is it to their advantage?

"can I use this to negotiate a higher salary?" - you could try, although apparently you already agreed to a pre-contract starting salary and agreed that your salary would be set depending on your position. Do you want to go back on your word due to your "leverage"? Is that the way you want to come across in your new position in a new company?

"can I use this to negotiate a higher salary?" - you could try, although apparently you already agreed to a pre-contract starting salary and agreed that your salary would be set depending on your position. Do you want to go back on your word due to your "leverage"? Is that the way you want to come across in your new position in a new company?
