At what level in your career you need to get a lawyer to help better negotiate a job offer? Is that just for C-suit roles?

Its helpful at any level. You are dealing with a commitment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. You may not need the lawyer negotiating on your behalf but it helps to have them review the contract, NDA, etc.

Despite what HR says, anything is negotiable. I remember early in my career, i got the company to agree to put a clause around minimum guaranteed severance if i would be terminated

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.
