I think it's time to walk on this one, but I wanted some advice first. A recruiter ignored me for two weeks, then came back with a lowball offer. I feel like they expect me to just be happy they responded at all. Is that manipulative of them, or is this normal in the hiring process now? Do I negotiate now that they already made me feel like an afterthought?

It's both manipulative and normal. This job market is fun, isn't it? They know candidates don't have many options and are more than happy to take advantage. Do you know what you will do? I would probably take it if I needed a job, but keep job hunting for a better salary. You could try negotiating, but you risk the offer being rescinded.

I got an offer letter, did everything they needed; background, drug test, covid & flu shot as well as a TB test. They sent me a pre-adverse letter. What does that mean? How would you respond?

like

I would respond advising you would like to discuss that with the hiring manager as that was not the figure previously discussed. I honestly wonder if the hiring party knows half of the lowball junk being relayed by the recruiter to the candidate. Just expect to move on.

The hiring process is not fast. If they lowball you, then you come back with 20% - 30% on top of whatever you will settle for. That is how it’s worked forever.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. 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?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
