Just accepted an offer with AFS for $105k base and $10k sign on bonus. Negotiated from $95k base and $7k sign on. Should I have asked for more? 2.5 YOE and current salary is $70k. I was pretty satisfied so I accepted the offer, but comparison on this app is truly the thief of joy...

It is a great bump compared to your current pay, even with inflation factored in. You’re not alone - try to ignore all those posts.

Do you have a clearance? I’d say that’s a great offer especially considering your comp at 70k. Nice work!

Thats a big detail. AFS pay generally sucks, but they seem to be desperate for cleared technical folks. Thats good for AFS.

It’s too late. Don’t beat yourself up about what you should have done. You accepted a great offer. Best of luck in your new role.

That's a fine offer for AFS. The TS is probably why it went up to 105k. You don't have much room for negotiation. Ignore the numbers here. Most people are beyond 2.5 years. A lot of people are not in AFS (which works less hours).

What level? I’m at AFS with 2.5 YOE making 83K…

Role for AFS is L9 consultant/specialist

Stay two years and try to work on cloud projects and get a clearance. Then you can double this.
