Is 90k in a MCOL (ATL) good coming out of audit with 2 years of experience? (Senior 1). Just got an offer and wondering if I can negotiate

What firm? Bonus potential? Seems decent given no FDD experience and 2 yrs total experience.

But to answer your question, there’s almost always room for negotiation. Even if it’s just a signing bonus

Big 4, they do bonuses but no idea what that typically looks like

From what I’ve heard, $90k salary so good for S1 in ATL (I typically hear mid-80s on this bowl for S1 in ATL)

As A&M1 said, always room to negotiate. I know S1s in HCOL making $100k. Don’t think it hurts to ask for $100k with $10k signing, and they meet you in the middle ($95k and $5k signing).

I was over $100k as S1 in similar COL but had previous industry experience.

Was recently offered a job in Hawaii that would be a much larger role than I currently have (deputy chief architect).

Do you think it’s worth giving up quality of life/spending value decrease to accept the larger career and possibly expedite my career progression?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

Hi Fishes,

Need your honest opinions, I have offers from India (InMobi) and Luxoft, Poland.
India offer is 10% more as compared to Poland one in terms of CTC, India offer has handsome joining bonus and stocks as well
My aspiration is to work in abroad & travel , but not feeling comfortable to go with a lower salary there
I am a Cloud & DevOps Professional with 7.5 YOE
If I miss this Poland opportunity now, do you think I will have possibilities of getting onsite jobs in future at this level?
