Facebook Offer

Hi all- I received a Fb offer yesterday and the $ weren’t what I was expecting. I scheduled a follow up in 2 days to begin negotiating process. I want to level set my expectations but my question is how many times is it appropriate to go back and forth? I figure I’m going to shoot for the moon, the recruiter will have to revert back to comp committee and when she comes back with numbers is that final or would it be worth it to further try and negotiate?

2-3 times should be more than enough.

Also, I don’t think you should shoot for the moon. Setting up your minimum expectations should be enough for a negotiation process (assuming this is aligned with industry standards). If pay is way inferior than expected it’s probably not going to get to where you want it and may be a case of misjudging the position.

Best of luck!!

Thanks. I think it’s a combination of both. Have a minimum expectation you are absolutely not willing to go under, but also shooting for slightly higher. My thought is 1) if you start at minimum and they give you that human nature will only leave you feeling I could of gotten more. And 2) when shooting higher you could possibly win, but more than likely they’ll meet you half way landing at the minimum. Starting at minimum and meeting you half way could be lower, if that makes sense.

Ugh what role was it for? I’m interviewing there too and this makes me less motivated

Program Mgr position!

Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.
