Newer hiring manager here. My finalist gave us their range at the beginning of the interview process that was a bit above our budget for the position but in the ballpark. In our initial offer, we met them at the very top of their range and I got HR/finance approval to stretch. They have countered with a higher ask in salary despite being aware of this info. I can’t help but have a bad taste in my mouth and my leadership is not pleased. Would you stick to the initial offer or rescind altogether?

That’s poor form. Did they give an explanation?

Their years of experience and relocation costs. Things that should have been factored into original range.

Agreed. Doesn’t show a great thought process/ability to make a case.

Stick to the initial offer. This isn’t worth dropping an otherwise solid candidate over.

Wait what lol you’re mad that they are negotiating? Everyone negotiates… it would be crazy not to. If you’re at your max, just be honest and tell him. Although if you rescind it sounds like he’d be dodging a bullet…

If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
