Anyone ever been successful in convincing a company to reconsider a hiring decision? Was told they were working through some budget approvals in preparation for an offer. Now it sounds like they might be moving on. Want to communicate I’m flexible on my comp number because this is a bit of a dream exit for me, and there was major chemistry in each stage of interview.

You’d get taken to the cleaners on comp if you told them that - literally inviting a low ball offer

If they told you their budget, just say that's exactly what you were looking for

Respectfully, if I saw this I would see it as desperate and would offer you a significant comp decrease bc you showed your hand

Let’s say you’re the top candidate and they can’t afford you, why would you want to get on that team? It shows the money isn’t there and entering an incoming recession that’s sketchy

The idea of the "dream exit" needs to die. It's not a dream exit if you're willing to throw your dignity out the window to join.

The number is be willing to take is still a big boost from my current comp. It’s more that I probably started too high in the range I threw out in the phone screen.
