Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

What’s the comp? 15% increase on 200k base is big, 15% increase on 80k isn’t worth it
28k is significant, that’s ~$2300 a month or rent in most real cities. I think you’re justified as long as it’s in line with your career goals and you can spin it. NOTE: this is a one shot gun, change once like this you can explain it away, twice and you’re starting to look bad. Make sure you’re 100% confident this is the move and you’re ok staying in that role for 2+ years
No it wouldn’t look bad if you just remove the 2mo role from your resume and change the dates for this one. But usually to switch roles it makes sense to do so for at least 30% but maybe this is up 30% or more over your role 2-3mo ago? The only reason to settle for less is if this helps you develop a skill set you believe is beneficial to your career long term.
Try to do it in a way that you burn the least bridges possible
