Not to me. That's a rough schedule. I guess if you live in a LCOL area it might be okay, but I'd do some serious thinking before accepting.
Completely understand that. I have one myself that flies with me whenever I go back home to visit family. He handles it fairly well in his carrier with some meds to help him sleep. If yours reacts the same, traveling with them isn't that big of a deal. But if not, that's even more reason to pass. I'd have such a hard time being away from mine 10 days at a time. Not to mention paying to have someone drop in, feed her and clean the litterbox would add up fast.
It’s not bad, but I always advocate that people negotiate.
Do this - “hey ABC company or recruiter name; I’m really excited by the opportunity to work with you. Can you send me the offer for review?”
Take at least 12-24 hours. I’d take 24. Go back and say “I’m excited to join the team, but I want to ask is the offer negotiable?” (Don’t say anything until they respond).
I’d ask for another 10 @85k. Do a bit of research, come with pay stats for similar roles, in a similar industry, similar city, and at your seniority or experience level. I use Robert half or pay scale.
Just make sure you can justify it if they ask. But the worst thing they can say is no.
Good luck, you got this!!
Thank you so much!
Yes
No.
10 days on schedule seems a bit rough, what industry is this? I guess if you like being on the road and can keep your normal rent very low it could be interesting since your food and living costs for work are taken care of
What’s your current life situation?
It depends on the cost of living where you live. I would struggle on that salary and this seems like a big job that will essentially be your life. If you’re single it will make it hard to meet people with being gone that much. I would look at the big picture of your life and ask for more.
Cost of living isn't bad. For example rent for 2 bed townhouse is 860 etc. I'm ok with being alone but if I can't travel with my cat it's not worth it to me. For that they'd have to book hotel the night before I begin work. It's a lot to consider..I agree
Thanks for your thoughts
No
