I found out I was competing with an internal candidate and wasn’t sure how that affected my leverage on salary. It felt like a different dynamic than a fully external search. Have you noticed salary flexibility change when internal candidates are involved?

Seems odd that they would share this information with you. Normally companies identify top candidate make offer and move on. But I’ve never seen them offer 2 people a job and negotiate at the same time.

Same here, I was surprised

I wouldn't let it impact your negotiation at all. Your skills are your skills, regardless of the competition. And who knows, they could be making significantly more or less than you and it shouldn't have been a factor at all.

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
