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?

I understand that the offer letter should take a week. But to initiate a resignation, I need an offer letter.

EY MD 🐠 , I’m a newly promoted MD and have a few questions on comp timelines I’m hoping you can help answer since there have been 0 comms to MDs on this 😔:
1. I’ve heard we don’t find out new salaries until mid-Aug with others below PP. Given others new comp doesn’t start until Oct, do you know if that’s when our new comp starts too even though our new titles are already effective?
2. Does the MD rating/comp timeline continue to follow the timeline for others going forward after the first yr?

Honest constructive advise required - I am 37, left consulting as a SM now want to come back and being asked to come in as a SM and been told in 2 years there will be a path to Partnership….should I be fighting for direct MD or should I take the SM path and grow organically
