Got an offer at Booz for 130 base; 28% bump. It’s under my asking specific to work, YoE, higher ed, clearance, aptitude/skills, but it’s a lead role speaking to career trajectory. Says non-negotiable. I have other interviews in the making, but I really meshed with and liked the HM. Should I walk?

Is it worth the extra money to go somewhere that you don’t like the hiring manager as much and don’t feel as strongly about the trajectory?

Money isn’t the only form of compensation. Your experience working there matters

You will never interact with the HM ever again, don’t join bc you liked the HM

Lying here does me no good. I’d encourage you to be candid with the HM and really understand what you’ll be doing; an interview is just as much your opportunity to interview them as it is their opportunity to interview you. You got an offer - ask for a call with the HM, ask how much involvement they have with their team and what your relationship will look like. That’s all on the table - this is about you, too, not just about them.

I wouldn't say no, but if you've got other interviews lined up, I would see if you can get another offer before the BAH offer expires. You may be able to get them to match a higher offer if you can show them that you have one. It's common for companies to say they've maxed out their offer when they haven't.

How much under your asking? A 28% bump is nothing to scoff at and reflects a good shift in what the market will pay for you. if they can’t change the salary, maybe you negotiate a sign on bonus or some other type of onetime bump to reflect what you’re bringing to the table in terms of skills and clearance.

Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
