A company I was interviewing with just told me they had dropped the comp budget (seniority and responsibilities remain unchanged). I had told them I was looking for a Senior PMM role at around $140k, and they said the new budget is up to $120k. No equity. I had already gone through recruiter screen, cognitive and personality test, hiring manager interview, delivered a 7-page case interview, and my next step was to present it to a panel. What would you do in my shoes?

If the compensation has dropped and is completely inflexible, I would cut my losses and rescind my candidacy. Don’t waste your effort.

Unless you really want some practice or could use the offer as leverage somewhere else - then present the case

Agree. Not worth your time if it’s non-negotiable.

That’s shady, I think you might have more issues with them in the future

Oh wow where is this? That seems low to begin with but the new budget is more in line with a non sr PMM.

OMG that is soooooo sketchy. If it isn't meeting your comp requirments then I would drop out of the interview process. Not only is that a red flag but it would be pointless to continue when they won't pay you what you need to be paid.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.
