I’m on $86k + super as an Assistant Accountant, 2 days WFH. I’ve been offered a Financial Accountant role at $90k + super. It’s a better title, bigger company, but the work is less diverse and it’s 5 days in the office, increasing my costs

I asked the external recruiter about salary, as the job ads showed 95–100k, she said “that’s the package,” but later I confirmed it was 95–100k PLUS super, so the offer is below the advertised range

Is it worth going back and pushing again on salary?

I wouldn’t accept going in office with a better title for 4K more.. you should try to negotiate.

You should definitely try to negotiate for more. It's not that big a bump as it is, and when you factor in 5 days in office it's almost like going backwards. Make a calm case for more, and see what you can do.

I wouldn't take it. Its not that much of an increase for you to really notice it and I wouldn't want to go in the office five days a week. That is just me though.

There’s always room to negotiation in my experience, you won’t know unless you try. Good luck to you!

Do what you think is best for you! If you need that extra cash then accept

Couldn't hurt. What do you have to lose?

I believe they can do better on the salary, so ask! I personally would not leave for that increase they offered.

I am in the office 2 days per week, and remote the rest of the week, and I would want more than $4k to go into the office 5 days per week, even if it's the same distance I am driving now.

Depending how far the commute is, the drive will get old really quick, especially if it's longer than what you have now.

Push for 100k. 4K after taxes is about 2k. It’s ~$75-$80 additional per paycheck. Is it worth it to you to drive 5 days a week for that small amount?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

What is the highest percentage increase you have negotiatied for an internal position? Wondering if all companies typically bump 5-10% for the next paygrade range or is there opportunity for 20-30% jumps.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
