Negotiate on the call when first offered verbally if your plan is negotiate.

Just negotiate after who cares, apologize for the back and forth, tell them that you were unsure of when the appropriate time was to negotiate the offer and then go on to tell them what you are looking for. Don’t call them back immediately saying you forgot, it’ll make you look like you are trying to squeeze them

Hm, if I was in your situation. I would email Monday afternoon, ask for 15 min, and then right on the call after hello/how are you, I would say something like: I had the weekend to think about the offer, and as you know I’m looking for the right opportunity that capitalizes on my (skill 1) and (skill 2). If EY can meet me at 130k base with a 10k sign on then I’m prepared to move forward.

Thank you

That’s too low of an offer. You have 7 years experience, a PMP and most importantly a TS clearance that you are bringing to the table which they do not have to go through the painful process of getting you. No wonder they’re all too eager to get you to commit.

EY GPS tends to be lower, but I think you should at least try for $130k unless you absolutely need to leave where you are currently.

Is this for SC or M?

Just TS

Frankly it’s low, just tell them what your looking for and either they come up or you let them go.

I can’t say for sure but you and I have about the same years of experience, I’ve done industry and gov too but been doing commercial for the past few years, no PMP and no security clearance, and I do tech consulting. My pay is significantly more than EY offered you even when I first joined the firm. Someone earlier mentioned 130k and I think that’s much closer to what you are worth even with federal sector pay being less than commercial. Throw in the fact that TS Tech roles are hard to fill because there aren’t enough TS folks, I’d say you could do even better by 10 - 15k base or a larger sign on bonus.

The price of that band is WAY TOO LOW

I made that in private sector as an analyst without consideration of MBA and TS/SCI with Poly. And that was a Tier 2 firm.

You’re worth what you accept. Keep that in mind OP

At this point I think we just need to chill and let OP think on this and do what he or she is going to do anyway. Something tells me they’re ok with the 110 and nothing anyone says is going to change that.

Hi Fishes,

I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
