All the major firms will match. And things will remain the same or get worse for associates, in return for a tiny bit more money.

Hey all!

I have 2 job offers and need to make a decision by the end of the week, for a data analyst position.

Company A base salary 90k
Company B base salary 95k

During the hiring process I mentioned to company A my salary expectation (80k~90k) and this is the company I would like to join.

I do not know if I should mention to company A that I got another offer for 95k and negotiate the base salary.

Any thoughts?
