Hi everyone,
I am interviewing with a company which offers a base salary of 150k (They were straightforward and mentioned it at the first interview). This is 100k lower than my previous base, but I still decided to go forward because the role is very interesting. After 3 rounds of interviews they really like my profile and I actually believe the company is a fit, but the salary is very conservative for the responsibilities involved. I am ready to compromise for 230k. What is my leverage? TIA

If they were clear up front, they probably can’t move above 20% over that. So I would say their max is $175k. You probably are not going to get $200k+

It doesn't hurt to ask but they already told you what the role pays. I doubt they will increase their budget by 80k when they have other people they are interviewing that will take the 150k I hate to say that but its unlikely.

Agreed with what Director 1 said. They were explicitly honest with you. For you to ask for anything higher than 20% above $150k is going to be perceived in a negative manner.

Could consider a performance bonus with some achievable targets to make up the difference.

Did they provide you a total comp target? If they compensate via bonus instead of base I'd say it's worth it.

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.
