Just got a $110k offer for a tech consulting position with a mid consultancy firm in a mid-tier city. I have over 10 years experience in-house. When I spoke to them first, I asked minimum $120k and said they can work out something around that. How do you go about negotiating this? What about bonus signature?

If you told them your minimum and they undercut that, it shows either how they deal with compensation or shows strength of the firm. Ton of factors, but if you are currently employed I’d stand my ground. Only reason for giving in is if this is a significant comp increase for you or if this is your dream firm/entering new field

Thanks, boss. You better take that offer before I apply and get offered the role 😈

Current salary is irrelevant to this offer imo.

Lots of guides online for how to phrase the email/prep for the convo (convo is generally preferred but whatever you’re more comfortable with), but in brief just structure as “I am looking for X compensation given my experience, skill, etc.” (obviously fleshed out). Depending on your background, with 20 years experience I think you could be targeting more $$ than the 120 but I’d recommend some due diligence across Glassdoor, levels.fyi, other Fishbowls, etc.

Just go into every conversation in good faith but be firm and confident in your abilities. You’ve got the offer and this company has explicitly said that it wants you, just make sure to that they value you at what you’re actually worth.

if you told them X salary, and they cannot meet it, they should have told you upfront instead of giving you this offer - this is a red flag on how they work..

Look at total comp. 110 base is also 50% more than you're making.

I mean - if was about the money you would've left a while ago at 76k with 10 years experience.

Something else at play

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
