Thinking about accepting a software engineering offer for BCG Digital Ventures . can anyone working there tell me about the work culture, learning opportunities, and exit opps . Im also interviewing with Zillow and am deciding wether to wait or take an offer. I’m really intrigued by the idea of building ventures and learning alot on the technical and entrepreneurial sides, but the opportunity to work for a tech unicorn is also very intriguing

You ask for a salary survey by your company HR person should have access to this info. Benchmark against industry and other factors like region.
Good practice so you can explain to candidates- budget doesn’t not equal market
Pro
good advice
I would definitely have a talk with human resources. If nobody's willing to take the job, especially in this economy, that's a pretty bad sign. Maybe give them an idea of what the last few people have tried to negotiate for and encourage them to do another salary audit to ensure that the rate is fair.
I kind of feel like it is the norm these days to negotiate, and the advice I see online tells everyone to negotiate no matter what. So I'd probably say it's normal and not to overthink it. If people are negotiating WAY higher salaries, maybe worth looking into but I think some negotiation from everyone is normal

Do you think the salary is below industry standards?
Firstly, make sure the salary range is listed on the job ad if it isn't already. That could help eliminate some applicants you can't afford. Secondly, do a little bit of your own research. Pretend you are your ideal candidate looking for a job and see what's out there. Are the other similar jobs offering significantly more? If they are, approach your management about your strategy in offering a competitive salary range or reducing your qualification requirements, then offering comprehensive training/mentorship to the right person.

agreed- super important to list salary on the job posting to weed out candidates who consider the range to be too low
If every candidate is trying to negotiate, it probably means it’s significantly below market value, or the job is asking too much for the range. I’ve seen jobs that had a lower salary, but certain benefits and perks were brought in to offset it. I would take all of those things into consideration and be up front with the candidate, or rework the range.
If every candidate you’re trying to offer a job to is trying to negotiate the salary, then yes I suggest you take look at your salary range. Particularly if they’re asking for a salary range that is consistent with what’s being offered in your area.
