Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

You should always counter. You get nothing to lose by just asking. The worst is they come back to say that’s the best they can do. At that point you can decide if you want to accept the offer or not.

If you don’t ask, you won’t get it.

Hi guys,

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Hi all - this is my first post here and would love your input. I have several open positions in my org and find that the salaries are all over the place. I have PM's (PM1) with 3 years experience asking for 110K - is that accurate with that you are seeing? Additionally BA's with the same level of experience asking for 130K. Seems really high for people with seeming little experience. Please let me know what you think.

I have an offer for a newly created collections strategy project manager at a mid sized credit union for $95k, 7-9% bonus, and 3 weeks PTO.

I did ask to go up to $100k, but was told my offer was already above the target range.

I like the company and my colleagues to be.

Good offer?
