I was recently given an offer, and I countered with $5K more ( still within their hiring band). They returned with an offer only $2K higher. What do you think is the reason for not meeting my request? I wonder if it has to do with budget, or if they don't want to look too accommodating.

It could actually just be a budgeting issue. Or perhaps they don't want to start you at the top of the band to allow for increases prior to moving to the next pay band. They met you 40% of the way, which isn't bad.

that's true- thanks for the perspective

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
