Product Manager role. Initial offer came in @220k TC with 150k base (rest RSU & target bonus). Don’t have competing offers, how can I negotiate for $250k TC (flexible on comp mix)? First time negotiating an offer would appreciate advice!

Ask for more. Always. Companies never come at you with their best and expect you to negotiate. Don’t let first Gen mentality stop you. Let it fuel you to tell your community how you did it. And negotiate base. RSUs and bonuses are never guaranteed, come with restrictions, vesting periods, etc. Negotiate base on “market research”. The worst they can say is no.

“For your YOE” do people get paid more for the work you will be doing regardless of yoe? If so, you can still negotiate. If you are successfully taking on the same responsibilities, why should age be a factor?

I have negotiated offers with no other offer. Never accept at face value, it is unlikely they came with their best offer. I tend to ask for several things so there is room for them to say yes to at least something. I tend to say something like “I think $xxx is more in line with the market and what I was expecting for this role” then if they say they can do something less than what you are looking for I ask for something something additional, if you are at top of the range ask for extra PTO, more signing bonus, extra RSUs - what ever is most valuable to you.

Without a competing offer it will be tough. I would try to up the RSU. Either way I would take whatever counter they give. Congrats!

Also low income first gen so bit feel like I’m being greedy at this point but that increase is quite doable for a company right?

Is that RSU per year? Will you get equity refreshers?

Solid offer, well played!

What’s your background. ? What do you do at EY ?

Should have gotten into Deloitte...its harder to get into than Harvard.

Your $100k & new offer of $220k are for same location? Are you based in west coast? If you are moving from low cost to high cost of living location - you can easily ask for more based on that. Even if it’s for same location you can ask for increase in base pay without having any counter offer

Both for NYC. How do you suggest phrasing ask for higher base without counter & no relo?

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
