I was offered 80K for a Chemical Process Engineer in a Chemical Manufacturing. They are asking 5 years experience. I have 6 but in the Biotec Industry. It is a good salary offer or should I negotiate the offer ? I will need to move from Houston to Killeen.

As someone who’s used to live in a city, not enough money can convince me to move from Houston to Killeen. On a separate note, $80K salary for process engineer w/ 5 year+ experience is below market.

Killeen is a military town and there is not much to do. I was there for 6 years and it is very boring.

Lol @ Killeen.

Ask for more. As a recruiter, never take the 1st offer is usually a low ball. Raise it by at least 2% more

Hi I was just offered a CM Manager position at Evelance aka Anthem with moderate salary 100k with 10% bonus. I was previously making 110k with 10%.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
