Best response you’ve learned when they decline your requests during negotiations? I once got push back and whispered I didn’t know if I could accept it. And said I’d make more getting paid hourly. Which was true - but also meant I’d work OT everyday. They met in the low middle. But I accepted. Kinda regretting it but I’m okay for now.

My go-to has become “That’s disappointing, I was hoping this role valued the experience I bring.” Then I go silent. If they budge, I'll consider the offer for sure. But if not, I’ve learned most jobs want champagne work for tap water pay, and regret tends to hit right after signing anyway.

I'm amending it to "hose water pay" because people identify more with that today. :D

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

Given all the recent buzz about expected large raises around the big 4, I’d like to level set on the average salary for a 4th/5th year female senior manager in federal tax ( credits & methods group) in the Midwest - Chicago/Minneapolis/Detroit market. Anyone willing to share a range if they work in a similar area of tax / similar level? I recognize all groups vary greatly in salary expectations, so looking for input specific to my area. Current expectations set at 140-160k. Reasonable?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
