Has an offer from firm 1 and they only gave a few days for me to decide. Just finished another round of interviews with firm 2 and I believe the next one would be partner interview. Should I:
1) Ask for more time for the first offer (hesitant to do this because it shows I am considering options and don't immediately want to accept)
2) Negotiate with first offer and buy some time (leaning towards this but might risk them getting back to me very quickly and not enough time for 2nd offer)

Personally I perceive an exploding offer as indication of the company culture.

True. I had some bad experience over it in the past which is why I'm being extremely careful.

Just went through this. Negotiate the offer, just pick something like start date or sign on bonus and be annoying about it. Tell the recruiter from the other firm you have offer in hand as well so they speed up and get more competitive about the offer they give you.

like

Yes. There is an obvious missing component in the offer. Not sure if its deliberate or a tactic so they'd know I would only ask for that (instead of a higher base). Which is why I'm worried that they might come back on the same day and add it back to the offer.

Negotiating an offer now over a small difference. Has held up the offer finalization for a week

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Hi Guys, I came on a previsit and joined and then returned back to my Home Town but while signing the contract i saw that if you leave the company withing 2 year you have to pay entire relocation cost back.

2. Is Pre-Visit considered as a part of relocation, I came because they denied virtual onboarding .

Now my question i didnt take relocation package i was forced to come for onboarding.

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man).

Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.
