Help!
I received a call from a recruiter unexpectedly. I got excited about the job and when she asked me how much I was looking for I told her $ amount. she was happy with that and said she was excited she found me due to experience I have. I then went on glassdoor to look at this company reviews and found out their benefits especially health insurance is not the greatest. This will cost more $ out of my pocket and commute is longer too. Can I still ask for more $ without getting people upset?

Absolutely. Tell them just that. “From my market research it appears the benefits offered at X are less than my current, in order to adjust for the additional cost, I would actually need x to entertain a move”

Think it is fine if you bring it up in a professional way, and it makes sense to you wouldn’t have known all the benefits and other things right off anyways. Better to ask and be compensated how you want before you get settled in anyways. Wishing you luck and good negotiations!

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations.

People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
