Former MBB consultant - 8 YOE (5 pre-MBA tech consulting, 3 YOE post). Left after 2 years at MBB to Microsoft Corp Strategy. I am now interviewing for a role within Google for S&O L5 and have an offer call with the recruiter. My current TC is 285K and based on what I have researched in this group the max I can expect for L5 is early 300s. Is this even something I should try to negotiate? For me to move from Seattle to SF, I would certainly need a significant pay bump to even consider. Thank you!

Nope, you likely won’t get the 30% boost to justify moving from Seattle to SF (CoL + tax increase).

The only world in which I think this makes sense is if you think your future prospects at Google are significantly better than your current trajectory.

Stand your ground and ask for it if you get the offer. Nothing to lose and be ready to walk. Negotiate hard.

Last month someone from Natwest posted an opening on a linkedin professional network, I sent him my CV. After couple of days 2 rounds of interview happened and I was told that I am selected, salary was discussd and he told me that offer letter will be released soon. No commumication was done over email. Was he a fraud?

What is the relocation allowance at Natwest ? Thanks

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
