Looking for advice. A company came back with a counteroffer that I am still not happy with. Can I try to negotiate a second time or is that too much back and forth? What would you say?

Sounds like there is a fundamental mismatch between what you feel you / the role are worth and what this company feels. I would think hard about whether you will feel truly valued if you sign on — that is, unless you are really excited about the role and are willing to settle on comp. If it were me, I’d also want to know whether future comp increases in this role will be difficult, based on the bid/ask here.

Sure, why not? Worst they can say is no.

I mean you can...but how much of a discrepancy is it? And are you 100% sure someone would offer your coveted number?

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you.

I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
