Have been offered an $80K base + $15K bonus for a position I really want. I make $60K base now. They cited "internal parity" for the lower number, but I feel it's below market, especially with the potential extra work of West Coast hours from the East Coast. Any advice on countering a "final" offer?

I'm not sure I understand why you are concerned about countering that offer. It's a significant move upward from where you are, yet you're referring to it as a "lower number." Given the job market and the economy I think the smart move would be to accept it and not put yourself in the position of looking unserious.

It sounds like significantly more than you currently make for a remote role, which is becoming increasingly rare. Plenty of companies have been rescinding offers over any number of things they wouldn't have years ago (like someone doing something as normal as countering).

If you have the data to support the counter you want to make then by all means give it an honest go and good luck! Just keep in mind how precarious a job market this is.

That is still more than you are making now. I would suggest countering though so you don't leave any money on the table. I would ask for 90k and see what they say.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions?
