What do you use Python for at work?
As someone who did a purely consumer insights role (no technical skills like sql required), 70 is about what I've seen. However, if you have the technical chops and the role isn't what you wanna do long term, hold out for another role that's more in line with your skills and will def pay more than 70
For an offer of 70k, if you aren't desperate, then you don't have to take the job.
It is all a matter of your trade-offs though. If you actually want this job, think it will aid your career, and can make due on 70k, then no issues.
I think that boils it down. You got an offer. That's great. It sounds like it doesn't meet what you're looking for.
Just make sure you're grounded against the market for your area (like with Glassdoor or another company) and aren't crazy. It's easier to get low offers than high ones.
Thank you everyone, your advice has been super helpful!
UPDATE: for the folks interested...I decided to hold out and just got an offer much much higher...thanks again for the advice everyone!!
Congratulations!
Hi there! Can we get more context?
City/industry you're from & going to/is TC all cash/what's your hard skills like vs what is the job asking for?
Did you throw out that 70k number or did they give the number?
More details will help. Thank you.
If the title is Analyst at an agency, they might not be able to go over $70k. If it’s an “insights” or “research” position vs media analytics, pay bands are often lower as well. Sometimes they can get permission to increase role level to Sr Analyst to get the person they want. If you genuinely are prepared to walk, then you can try telling them “sorry, I just can’t for that” and that may make them more likely to increase the offer. Agencies usually make decisions based on desperation, not logic or fairness.
I'm 3 for 3 on the screenshot Glassdoor approach. If you can demonstrate that 85k is market value for the role, location and YOE and they still refuse to budge then you have your answer. I wouldn't want to work for a company that knowingly pays me less than I'm worth.
You're worth exactly what the market is willing to offer. Is this the first offer you have right now? I think it's quite on the lower side for somebody technical and would expect another 10% at least. If it's too low, walk away.
OP, sometimes it's a budget issue. They have the vacancy, they have a budget and the budget might be lower or higher than where the market is currently at... it's not about you being worth less.
If you don't feel right about the number and you are confident you can get more, walk away.
Agree with what everyone else is saying. Some other things to consider are 401k matching rate (is it higher or same as what your company offers now?), PTO days, career opportunity (is it a well known company that will look good on your resume for future job opportunities?)
