I'm in the middle of negotiations, and when discussing vacation time, the hiring manager said that they issue their vacation time in the form of hours, not days. Like, instead of getting 5 days off, you'd get 40 hours. This would make sense for an hourly position, but this is a salaried position I'm going for. It's a weird setup, right?

It’s the norm in consulting for full time and not hourly positions. Just look at a day as 8 hours.

It's a bit confusing because you won't work after the 40 hours, so it's still 5 days.. You will still have an hour before and after your work schedule anyway to enjoy vacation, so it's literally the same thing, just the wording is different.

Nope, this is the norm in my experience. It all works out the same in the end. I think they structure it this way so it's easier to make sense of accrual rates.

Agreed, this is how they do it in consulting. If I recall many companies do that and just have a standard set hour for a day (usually 8).

I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

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”.
