Feeling a little bit low-balled by a Bay Area public company offering me a role at 145K w/ 9years of experience. Will it sound ridiculous if I counter with $175K? It will still be a COL adjustment down, but more acceptable, especially with my partner relocating with me and him working remotely.

NOPE. Just get ready to site your data, re-emphasize your years of experience and COL. Tell them you want to make it work, but it needs to make financial sense.

Any good data sources to cite? Glassdoor and LinkedIn sometimes show wacky numbers.

Imo I would not relocate for the role even if it was making 175K. Crazy expensive in the bay area. Legitimately 250K is barely middle class.

What is the role?

At the very least ask for a sign-on bonus to help pay for moving.

Can you actually live in that areas on 145k the same lifestyle vs other lower cost places

In recent performance reviews, I received a level change and a pay raise effective March (so retroactive pay). I’ve recently given my notice and am now being told because I’m leaving before the next pay date, I’m no longer eligible for my back pay. Is this legal? This wouldn’t be the first time I’m chasing down money owed to me by this company.

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with. But recently, I've noticed that my manager has been asking me to do more and more work on my own without giving me any additional compensation for my time. He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?
