I’m currently being considered for a job and received a call last week from HR to discuss the organization’s health/retirement benefits and what my salary expectations are. Still no official offer yet, but I was told that the process could take some time. Is the call from HR a good sign? I’m nervous about how long it’s taking for the organization to officially say whether they’d like to move forward with me or not.

If you have a job now don’t stress it, they will give an offer as soon as possible. They may need some approvals for the pay if you asked for something above the standard range for it as well. Usually I hear back within a few hours at most when in the negotiation process though

I am in a similar situation and I also got a call from the HR to confirm some things and when I asked when can I expect the offer, she said, she will circle back with the team! Made me think if they are really considering me for the position!

Salary expectations are often used to filter candidates, especially early in the process. Make sure you have some market comps and provide a range or ask what the salary range for the position is

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
