I've received what I think is a good job offer, but they are demanding an answer by tomorrow. It feels incredibly rushed, and I haven’t even had a chance to look at the benefits and salary enough to know if I should negotiate. Have you ever felt forced to accept quickly because you were scared the offer would vanish? I'm not sure what to do.

Take the offer or lose the position. It’s an EmployER job market now. Time for negotiating was during your phone screen and interview. You should have known what your asking salary was when you applied and asked or been given the benefits after your interview. I’m speaking as a Recruiting Manager - Hiring Managers don’t like to feel squeezed by last minute negotiations and it will definitely start you off on the wrong foot. I hope you will either accept the offer or decline it within the timeframe.

Yeah, when someone offers you a job I just accept it and if you dont like the pay and benefits I look for something else while being employed

The market isn’t in our favor, but if you are already having concerns over this job, this might be the final straw, and I’d take that seriously. Take an hour to sit down, get into it, and then follow what your gut says.

They want an offer by tomorrow because the market is in their favor and if you take your time they have a backup in mind already.

The standard waiting time was typically two business days, so next day is not that huge a change. And seriously, you should be capable of assessing the numbers in a day, it can't be that complicated. Just check the numbers and make a decision and let them know, no need to waste any time worrying about it.

Take it

Take it, and if the salary is too low and the benefits are not what you had hoped for, look for something better while you're employed and you're generating some income for yourself and family if you have a family.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
