I would make sure that your offer is in range for the position in the new industry.

I took an offer that was +50% base and +60% TC but realized later I could have gotten +80% base and +100% TC.

You already said it's a great offer. Just take it.

Congrats! Care to share details on offer?

Details please OP

Asking for clarification...Do you think one of the other two places will offer more than that?

That’s crazy increases. What type of role at the bank?

Yea crazy unless your salary was just extremely low to begin with

Without any data or real offers, your current offer is going to give you a big old goose egg in terms of an increase if your argument is simply that you MAY get another offer that could be more. You need a justification and if they already met or exceeded what you told them your salary expectations are, it needs to be a really solid explanation.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
