I have received an offer for a senior commercial insurance account manager position from a large insurance brokerage in the U.S. The salary offered was below the minimum salary range for the position. I counteroffered for the minimum annual salary for the position. I was denied and offered $2,000 more annually without a reason for decline. I have over 20 years of experience. However, I never had a senior commercial account manager title in the past. How should I proceed?

Questionable when the company is going against their minimum range set, especially with no reasoning given. If you need the job and can use the experience to get something else, I’d consider it like that. Also, if there are any other red flags to worry about.

Thank you so much for your advice. My husband had a similar response. I really do need a job since I am not employed. I am just a little disappointed about their response.

That's unfortunate, but it seems to be an indicator of the current job market. It's an employer's market, there are more people looking than there are open positions. So companies have lowered the offers they're making. If you need a job, you might as well take it, and see how it works out. You can always keep looking, after all.

Thank you for your sound advice.

Since you’re looking to get a job quick, I’d just go for it. While it is disappointing, it could get your foot back in the door and at least with the new title, you can leverage a higher salary for your next job.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Thank you!
