Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

That’s what I keep thinking. It’s honestly a really interesting role, but the way this has been handled hasn’t been excellent thus far. I’ll give it another go at renegotiating and decide whether or not this is worth taking.

Tell them thank you, show excitement and be appreciative but always negotiate the first offer. Explain why you should be towards the higher end of the band and highlight the value you will add. Remember, the first offer is almost always not the best they can do. Personally I would counter with140k base, 20k bonus, 10k sign on (assuming you have the skills/experience/knowledge to put you at the high end of the band) Good luck! You got this

I’d still renegotiate

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
