Deloitte 🐠 and/or recruiters. I received a verbal offer of 100k, 5k sign on today and I’m really disappointed because my current comp for the same role is 103.5k. I’ve already tried to push back and the recruiter told me they cannot offer more. I was really excited about this opportunity but idk if I can take a base pay cut on top of losing out ~8k on stock awards and 401k matching. Any advice? Should I try to negotiate again or decline offer?

They’ll offer more if you say unfortunately I have to
decline. If they don’t come up, at least you won’t be miserable. This is the time to have the upper hand

D1 can you expand? I’m also negotiating an offer right now and am curious why you’d advise against joining.

Move on

I think you have to decline the offer to send the message that it’s unacceptable.

HCOL city or not?

Decline. You don’t take a pay cut for name recognition. Just a negotiation tactic.

I’ll take quick breaks throughout the day but nothing I’d expect to total more than hour. At a loss here.
