At the start of the month, spoke w a CD I knew about a spot at his agency. He said my salary request was a bit high & told me his cap. Fine, still interested. After a couple of weeks of nothing, their recruiter calls me on Thursday to tell me more about the agency and the role, then says the salary parameters & it’s $5k less than what the CD said. I told her the number he said & she said she’d talk w him. Did I just ruin my shot? And when should I follow up?

I’d have waited until the offer was in hand to mention the 5k. If it was a huge difference I might have spoken up but 5k is in the range of typical negotiations and you’d have a strong case of “x told me the cap was x, and I deserve that because of x, y and z.”
Asking for it now is pointless and maybe annoying.

I should add, my dilemma is that I interviewed with another place last week on the same day and they’ve already requested a 2nd interview for this week. I’d much rather go to the other shop and I’m trying to see if there’s still interest from them before this place offers me a gig.

How is a vp below a cd? Also 5k is tough to fight over unless its on principle. Its like $55 a paycheck.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Trying to decide between 3 offers remote/Columbus

Teletracking is 125k cash 5k bonus

I know about Square the most and if they paid closer to Veeva and Teletracking I’d probably go there but it seems like they underpay.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
