Hey :) So I have two offers (= comp). The problem with my 1st choice, is there's 60% chance I start in early 2023 and 40% chances that I don't start until July (or later). Deadline for my 2nd choice is today. Main con of the second choice is they're working from home, and in person work is something I want (for mentorship & friendships)... but WFM starting January >> In person starting in July. Thoughts? Thinking of accepting 2nd choice and declining if offer 1 confirms January intake. TIA!

Take offer 1 and start in jan. Also take offer 2 and if you want to switch over. It’s a douche move but who cares, if either company was to cancel positions, they wouldn’t ask you twice. So cradle the first one until you hit timing for the second one.

You can also ask company 1 if they will start you early in jan

If you are good, you Will be fine. If companies can rescind offers, we too should be able to rescind acceptances

If you know you want in-person, don't pick the WFH option. Especially early in your career, in-person apprenticeship will be very valuable

Thank you. My thoughts as well! I'm just a bit scared of the risk of the in-person job and having to start in july 2023 or later... + given the economic uncertainty, I'm scared altogether that they decide to rescind the offer later on.

Don’t take WFH as your first job.

Aw, you seem sweet. You could take offer 2 and quit if offer 1 comes in July and If you are truly unhappy with offer 2.

This is not how you want to start your career, but it may better position you bc you will have more experience and will be promoted very quickly.

Thank you hehe <3. Yees makes sense. I'm just wondering how bad would it be if company 1 tells me I'm all good to start in January, and I already signed with offer 2. Would they hate me forever and ban me from every job they have?

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
