I took an “exit op” with a defense giant and immediately (after 2mo) realized why I left after spending nearly a decade there straight out of undergrad. The company also did a little bait and switch in terms of the position (what was advertised vs what I’m doing), benefits, and organization. I’m basically doing nothing that I was hired in for, including my skill sets. I’m going to resign, and gladly pay back the 25k sign on. Any suggestions on how I make this resignation email as kosher?

I’d say make it clear that they pulled the bait and switch and you moved for specific reasons which were not met.

Paying back $25k and resigning without another job...those are my flags, but good for you if you have your mind set on it.

The defense giants don’t quite have the mobility but I would at least discuss the concern with your leadership.

D1, should’ve made it clear. I also have another job lined up. Back to commercial consulting I go.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.
