What’s the average for your area? Sometimes national average can skew higher or lower because of HCOL cities or not enough data etc.
Also, would it be a raise for you if you accepted? Room to grow at the new company? Could still be worth it unless you’d rather continue your search for a better offer.

I m in SoCal. It wud b same salary as last role which had bonus and this one’s doesn’t and the health ins here is expensive vs last job. I’ve also been unemployed for a while so not feeling like i have much choice or options. That said, I am very grateful to have the offer and will accept…just trying to negotiate…have never had luck negotiating in the past.

I’m a Marketing Manager now for a startup in Cali and my base is more than that. I think you could maybe negotiate a bit more?

Yeah- maybe take it but negotiate sign on bonus or equity? You can leverage it for a higher paying job later too

How do you deal with counter offers? I have an offer to join a larger tech company in a more senior role, with bonus and RSUs that my current start up can’t match. But my current company want me to stay. They offered an increased base salary which is still below the new offer and I went back and said no, so they might increase. This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?

Hi Fellow Fishes! I need some urgent advice. I had accepted a job offer at a really good company with a good role and team. I am due to start that new job on Monday 30th Aug. Now the thing is I have a better job offer from one of my dream companies-i would be really stupid not to take that offer. So I would be declining the job at the first company just 2 days before i am supposed to start! I know its a good problem to have but a very unpleasant conversation with them. How do i soften the blow?

Hi! I have an offer internally within my current org for a level above my current paygrade and they are pushing me to sign the offer.

I don’t want to sign up internally and then later if faang works out I would have to say no to these internal folks..

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.
