Can you turn down an offer by saying the salary they offered was not enough to make me move?

That seems like an odd reason to turn down an offer. Most clear thinking rational people turn down offers because they don't like the way the person is dressed or they did not smile enough during the interview

Yes, but you could also say “i would really like to come work for you, but i need a salary of $100,000. Your current offer of $92,000 is not the market rate for someone of my level of experience and competence.”

But you also have to be willing to leave if they do spend time to negotiate and offer you more. If you still wouldn't leave then salary isn't why you're not taking the offer

Not that you couldn't still turn down the offer. But that's just my two cents. Why waste time if 10-20k more would only just make it harder to say no when you do want to say no now already

Did you already try negotiating and that was their final amount or is that not the true / only reason?

*calling big Pharma professionals* my friend wanted me to hop on and ask about a salary that she has received working as a quality insurance coordinator for one of the top 15 pharmaceutical companies. She is making 65,000 Canadian and that would narrow down to 50,000 USD, she wanted some insight on how much quality assurance or regulatory affairs associates or other levels make? Also is she being underpaid or is that the current market rate at the moment. Thanks in advance

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
