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…

So about 8 mos into my 1st year I accepted a PE/VC role that starts in Nov. I was pretty unhappy and felt like IB wasn’t for me.

I still dread working every weekend & over holidays but I feel more confident about my work. We had reviews and turns out I’m top bucket/highest ranked analyst in my class (NYC EB) and now I feel guilty about leaving. Anyone have thoughts here?
