Most play hardball. LinkedIn gives people 48 hours that you can negotiate into a week.

lol most of my swe friends got months to decide on their faang offers. not sure how it works for us lowly business folks

I wish haha. They get a bunch of special perks we don’t get like
- 2-4 weeks to decide, plus will extend out for competing offers
- Join date up to 3 months later
- Offer is good for up to 1 year after passing with no need to reinterview (you’ll need to re-team match if you decline initially)
- If you leave you can come back 1 year later no questions asked / need to reinterview
- Ability to switch between offer locations without reinterview at time of offer

I got up to 3 weeks to decide and could pick my start date any time over the next 4 months for a non-SWE role

I took over a week to decide, and started a little over a month after my acceptance. I did not ask for a ton of time though, I could’ve probably negotiated more time.

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?

The other would mean taking a year off work and pursuing the LL. M, Thanks for help
