I received a verbal offer today for a revenue manager position at a construction company. I’ll be making more than 30k more than my current position so I’ll be kinda crazy not to take it. But they just told me that it is contract to hire 6 months to a year. The salary discussed with the recruiter was about $15k more as well. How should I address these concerns? After I receive my written offer of course.

If you’re employed, you have leverage. But you have to be willing to walk away.

Let them know you’re excited about the role, but not looking for contract, and you need to be at $x dollars for it to be worth the move, as previously discussed with the recruiter.

Ask them if it’s something they can accommodate.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
