I’m applying for some staff/senior accountant positions with Robert Half. They want me to do a reconciliation assessment that lasts about 40 minutes. I’m wondering if any of you have taken this assessment and what it covers. I’m not seeing how bank reconciliations could take 40 minutes. I may be overthinking it, but it is a test so…

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
