Always get a raise. NYC will take more taxes anyway

Go for it! I did the same, was in a similar situation and still got the raise I wanted. It probably costs me a little when it came to small annual raises but I think it worked in my favor overall

Doubt you’re being paid much higher, honestly. Check yourself

Hi All,

Im 3.8 YOE Software QA engineer, I have got offer in HPE and Qualcomm. Apart from salary i just wanna know which company has better for long term.
Qualcomm - Manual testing (wifi)
HPE - Cloud QA

Which role is good for my career and future scope (wifi testing or cloud). And which company is good in terms of culture and work life balance....i heard qualcomm has too much pressure (around 80% of the company) and on the other hand HPE has good cultural values. Please suggest...

TIA!!

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
