Hi all, I'm a contingent worker in BMS and my manager put in a request to extend my contract for another year. Can I negotiate a pay raise? All of the FTEs get a 3.0% annual raise (merit-based) and I would like the same. Who do I reach out to about this, my manager or contract agency, and would it leave a bad taste?

I'm an R&D scientist in computational biology, if that helps. Thanks

You would bring this up with your agency, that’s who pays your salary.

Hi Fishes,

I have an offer of around 39 LPA + bonus and my wife is holding an offer of 32 LPA in India. Now I have received another offer from a fintech organization in Berlin, Germany who are providing me 69k Euros as base salary + 5k Euros as RSU and also an on call support of 5k Euros annually + complete relocation assistance package. My wife currently doesn't have any offer for Germany and might need to search for a job after reaching there. Is it worth? Need your suggestions please.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Dear Recruiters,

Please keep reaching out. It’s great. But please also tell your bosses that your job and mine are both made easier when you’re empowered to discuss basics like hourly commitment and rate with me.

Hate to be this guy, but I don’t have time to send my resume, portfolio, experience, availability, and hourly rate to your boss, only to find out that the role is 40 hrs a week when I barely have 10 to give. That’s what LinkedIn/my website is for.
