Hi everyone, I’m currently in the final stages of interviews for an apprenticeship at a big tech company. When I asked for the compensation range the recruiter gave me a flat number.

If they extend an offer should I negotiate even though it’s an apprenticeship? They continued to reiterate there would be options for conversion to full time at 6 months and 9 months.

Any helpful strategies?

I don't know much about UX salaries but I would try to compare what's offered to the rate of someone with no or little experience from a few websites. Location I think is the biggest factor on pay.

Thanks! Going to do more research on pay in my area

I’d start building a case for why you’re worth more and what you’ve contributed during your time there. I’d also update your portfolio if they try to lowball you and you need to find another job. Probably having other job offers ready could help negotiation too.

But either way always ask for more is my personal rule.

Is that much lower than what you were expecting? If it's aligned with the pay in the area, I think you're fine to just take it

No, it’s within the range I was expecting. I think it’s pretty fair to be honest.

Interested in making the move from data analytics to data science eventually at bigger tech co. Currently at a startup, coming up on 1 year mark this week.

Should I stay at my current role, bide my time, and keep trying to jump to a bigger tech data role or make the switch to another startup now?

I had an interview where the interviewer was acting extremely weird-almost as if she was trying to deter me from wanting the position.
