Just got an offer for a role that’s high-impact, cross-functional, and clearly demanding. But the salary was 25% below market! I had been upfront about my expectations so it was disappointing to see how far off the mark they were. It makes me wonder if they were hoping I’d just be flattered to be asked. I’m still debating if it’s worth negotiating or just walking away. What would you do?

If you have done the market research and see it as 25% below that, try to negotiate and see if they match what you are asking. If they say no, walk away.. what's the harm.

Unless, you really want this job and what they are offering is still above your current pay.. you can think about it.. ask to add a little extra

I always negotiate. If they say no then walk away.

If you’re already employed and making good (enough) money, I’d wait for something that’s better pay and something you actually want.

If you’re unemployed, take it. The market is only going to get worse.

Counter!

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
