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.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
