Siemens Hello all, plz provide me some insights about engineer - design and development position for the CT department of siemens healthineers (wlb, hikes). I got an offer for this dept. The work sounds interesting to me but I'm worrying abt tech stack as it is a bit old (.net framework)
Informatica openings any?
9+ experience
I want to build my career in analytics. I have offer from EY India, EXL and LatentView Analytics.
EY is more on the side of project management and process improvement in SaaS, as told. While there is hands-on in other two.
If I don't consider pay, which company is the best to go for considering work and culture(peope friendly).
YoE: 5
Tech Stack: SQL, Python, Tableau, PowerBI

I would not mention what is being discussed elsewhere unless they specifically ask. If you're bluffing, mention $100k. 90k still sounds low for M2.
It’s a semi-bluff. Wouldn’t want to leave the firm, as I have a really steady situation here with decent WLB (55 hours a week during the peak of busy season, with 40-45 being the expectation in the offseason) and have “proved myself” to the partner group.
At my old firm, I’d fit right back in like a glove, but I wouldn’t really enjoy the clientele, nor the commute (as opposed to working from home 3 days a week).
I just can’t justify this pay I’m getting for much longer though.
I wouldn’t even discuss, I would just take the 90k and walk. That’s ridiculously low
Bruh. You in a third world country?

Yes I would bring it up, but are they the right person to talk to about any salary changes? I talked with my partner in charge and tax department head, but they have an open door policy. We discussed and I told them that I spoke with other firms and I was making $70k and local market was at least $75k and California 100% remote tax positions were paying $85k+, they thought they were market rate so they didn’t budge. I quit since annual raises were 5% and promotion raises were 10%. It would take a while for to get even close to the numbers that were presented to me from other firms. The loyalty “penalty” or “free agent premium” is a huge problem in PA and it makes more financial sense to switch firms.
In my experience it always better to come to the table with another offer at hand, unless this is a coach that you really trust
You should be asking minimum 95k… and a big bonus to make up for the low pay!
Have you gotten an offer anywhere else?
I’m an A3 at $85k HCOL. Time to leave
I don't trust any career coach that was arbitrarily assigned. Also not sure if they have any sway in comp. I would just go to the partner for comp discussion
Definitely ask, and if the reply is "we'll get back to you" or "no," seriously consider the other offers, and let the next conversation be a resignation. No need to twist arms at this time by mentioning what other places are offering, they can find out for themselves before or after you leave. Also, counteroffers are often a temporary delay until you're replaced w/ a cheaper worker. Firm partners always take care of themselves, you do the same here.
@AS1: I’m already seriously considering the other offers, because I doubt these guys are going to bump me from the mid-70s to even $85k (which I would consider from them as a hometown discount).
Will definitely bring it up next time I get to meet with the PIC and department head at my office as they seem to have more sway than my coach who is a newer partner in the department.
