Hi Everyone,
Need you inputs/suggestions regarding the offer/salary discussion with MSD / Merck for someone with 8-9+ YOE.
They have given me a final figure saying-
"This is the best figure that we have come up with after so many approvals. Can't do any better than this.
Take it or leave it, it's up to you"

Questions-
How flexible are they for your case in terms of salary negotiations?
Do they follow band wise salary(with YOE) or take previous salary as a reference and offer 25-30% on it?

Unless and until you don't hold an offer from quality company or software product company the chance of renegotiation is very less

Try to get offer from some fortune 50 . They do match the offer , I knew someone counter with an offer from Target and they accept the counter and have more hike

helpful

To your second question it depends on what is your current ctc , your current company and to some extend on tech skill

Thanks for the answer. But it seems like they are not budging even after decent/okieesh cctc, current company and skills

Anything around 50 should be fine

Yeah they have offered me around the same but it's just 24-25% above than my CCTC

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers (both 28 yo) and would like to know what makes more sense: buying an expensive home or buying a lower cost one. Our combined income is around 400K but since we just began working post school, our savings are only $70K right now (also 30K in student loan debt). We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)
