Real talk, what do you think inflation really was this past year? 7% is so obviously fake news to stop people from panicking. Everywhere I go stuff is 10,20, even up to 50% more expensive and I’m not talking gas. EDIT: I’m in a HCOL city

Should I negotiate without any competing offers?

Company: Walmart Tech Labs
Location: Hoboken
Base: 150k
Bonus: 24k (16%)
RSU: 25k / year for 3 years

Offered TC: 180k
YOE: 3

I initially thought TC was 199k, but it’s actually 180k. Should I say something like “I was expecting 220. Is there anything you can do like a sign on bonus/raise base a bit to help get to 220?” To see if they can bump it up a bit?

I just don’t want to negotiate and get the offer rescinded.
