How should I negotiate my comp at a back office role at a large hedge fund? They seem super desperate to fill this role and I think my knowledge of process improvement is a huge asset. I originally told HR that I was expecting 120 but I realize that was a mistake on my end, should I just state that was the bare minimum?

I would reach out and state that you'd like to discuss/have a conversation about comp. Then mention the new figure not your old one (120). The worst they can say is no, good on you for wanting more for yourself.

I agree with this. Usually when you say an amount its the amount you want, not the minimum you will take. I would just reach out and try. It never hurts.

Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?
