Hello! I was offered $95k for a consulting role in Chicago. I would be relocating from Alabama. After looking at housing options, an additional $20k would be more comfortable especially since they are not offering a relocation package and they expect me to be on site within a month.

Nope. I wouldn't take that to live in Chicago. I live in BFE, NC and was paid that when I first started with this company 10 years ago.

Thanks for the feedback. After looking at the cost of living just to rent in comparison to me owning in Alabama, I couldn’t validate the math. They offered a sign on bonus of $8k which was enticing but wouldn’t last long in all actuality.

Counter and see if they’ll go up, explain your reasoning. Sounds like you’re going to turn it down otherwise so I don’t see the harm in trying, especially since they are over their max already. Seems like they want you.

What salary did you provide initially at the start of the process? What's their range? If you initially discussed a different salary, counter. If you initially said 95k was good, you could counter, but it's likely they could rescind the offer.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
