I had an interview with PepsiCo. I was looking for 140 to 150 salary and they said they could only do 112k. Itā€™s a lot of money to leave on the table. I told them I donā€™t wanna continue with the process mainly cause I donā€™t wanna waste their/my time.

Do other šŸ  s continue with the interview process in hopes of convincing the hiring team to offer you more money because they really like youļæ¼?

My recruiter for PepsiCo was like "ok if you're looking for 150k then CPG is prob not an industry for you" šŸ¤£ this was for a strategy projects manager role

What position/level did you interview for? I was offered 165k base at senior manager level

Worked with Comp and Ben and can confirm.

But definitely proceed, I was told I can only get 140-150k, but they offered me 165k on the spot after I received the offer

Sounds a bit far apart. To get to the 145 itā€™s like you have to start at 155. 112 to 155 would be quite a counter. But what do I know.

You did good OPšŸ™ŒšŸ»

I wouldā€™ve continued thru the interview process. Iā€™ve been offered more then what the recruiter told me during the screening.

Keep going because it is good interview practice. If they don't offer what you want upon passing interviews, you can always decline. If you don't get the offer, then the salary is irrelevant anyway.

Assoc Manager caps at around 130k TC. You can probably get them to bump it there and negotiate a sign on of 20k. Also, blow it out the first year and get promoted to M to get to 150k.

I got a director offer for 185k - I did a hard pass

Yeah but still a significant pay cut - tc wouldnā€™t come close to my current package

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
