I just got a job offer that’s right at midpoint in the salary range. However, they want to delay my start 3 weeks AND healthcare benefits have a 90 day waiting period. Anyone have some tips on negotiation? I need to either be making more salary, or get a signing bonus… because I’m going to be leaving contract work on the table and I will have to pay for the exchange in the meantime! I’m currently unemployed, on Medicaid

I doubt there's any flexibility on start date or benefits. Signing bonus sounds like a great negotiating option. Getting one would take some of the sting out of having to pay for the exchange.

There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Hey fishes, recently got an offer of 245k plus a bonus, but no specificity and at least 3% cost of living annual raise. My current job I make 150k plus a 20% bonus and an annual cost of living raise anywhere from 2-3.5%. Have been in my current position about a year. Things have been a bit bumpy (not a me issue) I have a new supervisor and was recently given 7 direct reports (I had zero before). The new position while comes with a significant raise is a move to California. Any thoughts?

Hi everybody.
Right now I’m working as a junior product engineer in Amsterdam. From januari on I’ll be a medior product engineer. And now I’m in the middle of negotiating about my salary increase. The salary that I’m being offered feels low (41.5k).
Is there an other product engineer that could tell me if my gut feeling is right or not? Thanks in advance!

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.
