I received an offer that expires today (they only officially gave me a few days). They didn’t offer any signing bonus or relocation because I told recruiter last week that I didn’t have anything else going on (I know I’m so bad at this stuff). I emailed partner who sent me offer 2 days ago about changing start date and relocation support but no response (I then also tried calling recruiter and emailing her yesterday but also no response). I feel uncomfortable signing under these circumstances bu

You have good reason to wait it out in my opinion.
But it just depends on how bad you want to work for someone who can't answer a single email and wants to play games with the negotiation process.

Then take it but keep looking I guess?

Depends on how badly you want a job. What’s the worst case if you wait it out and don’t get a new offer? If you are okay with the possibility of that outcome, then I’ll say hold your horses. If not take it

But I guess I have no choice ? (The salary is standard / expected, I just feel like I’m being lowballed on the signing/relocation bonus but I also totally understand why they haven’t offered any)

Or do I roll the dice and let offer expire while I wait to hear back?

F/u is a crazy way to abreviate “follow up”

Don’t sign it!

Can I ask which firm is this?

It’s a boutique consulting firm

I just don’t understand why they’d be playing games with me at this stage. Do they not really want me? Are they hoping I’ll decline?

What if I sign and they continue to be annoying and I want to renege - is that an option? How bad would that be?

Is there a way to sign contingent on some relocation support and pushed out start date (they did say it was tentative when they gave verbal offer) ?

I’ve met people like this too, and there are people whom I’ve helped but think they don’t deserve to be in the firm afterwards. Great job that you’ve helped, I’d like to be your friend too!

Wait so
1. You have an offer you don’t like
2. You’ve sent negotiations by email
3. You haven’t heard back

Why are you in a rush here? Just wait it out. Worst case you lose an offer that you weren’t that excited about anyways

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
