Got offer for 150k with 7.5k bonus. I like the company and the location but it's a pay cut and no relo. Interviews with EY and Accenture this week, Slalom next week. Company wants an answer by 9/11.

Tell them you need more time to make sure everything you’re involved in has a smooth transition. Appreciate the aggressiveness but at the same time changing jobs is a big life choice

The 7k signing bonus is nice but I'm relocating and is prefer help with that vs a bonus. After taxes that money will be around 4k, half of what I expect the move to cost

So if you do the math, the amount they are offering paying me is equitable given the cost of living difference between Chicago and Atlanta. I priced out other moving companies and costs were far more reasonable. That plus the easy commute were the deciding factors for me over EY and Accenture

Also try to negotiate relo if that’s what you want, a company willing to offer 150k is willing to give you a lot of things to have you

Push back on them, tell them you need more time to make the best decision for your career.

Why are you looking to leave? Have you had conversations with your CA? Sounds like money isn’t the motivator here. Give us a shot and see what we can do and see if you get that promotion in Q1.

Yeah, it's not easy, I love my job and the company but, family is family and I need to do what's best for them more than myself. Cheers
