After weeks of no contact Goldman Sachs have finally come back to me with an offer of £75k for an associate role within Global markets ops (collateral management) in London. I initially gave them salary expectation of £80-85k and have 2 competing offers around £80k range. I’ve tried to negotiate and tried to ask for higher but they won’t budge or match my other offers. They’re saying the pay is in line with the peer group and my experience (7.5 years). Am I being lowballed? Goldman Sachs

They will probably make up the gap with bonuses, but if the other companies offer great WLB, I personally would accept those instead.

The hours would be similar at other places if not more so probably makes more sense to accept GS. What are GS bonuses like?

Is this job worth walking away from due to a 6% pay difference?

If so, decline.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

When pushing for a tier promotion (level 2 to level 3), is there a best way to also say what I want to be paid?

I’ll have 5 when I push for the promotion, so I’d want more than the base level of pay in the range.

In addition, I have a vacation already planned in first 2 weeks of July. Should I add the delayed start date to my negotiation?
