Received a job offer via video call. The hiring manager was thoroughly providing pertinent information and everything was going well. Then as she said, “…with a starting salary of…” the connection cut out. 🤣 Came back on as she was explaining the time period for bonuses.
Don’t worry, I explained what happened and got the numbers. But damn, does the universe have a sense of humor sometimes.

Sigh... Situation is messed up atm. Not sure how to make my first career switch.

I had received an offer from Pwc AC and after negotiating with HR said they would send me the revised offer letter soon, which they failed to do so. Later when I tried contacting them, they are saying the requirement is on hold.

I also have an offer from Deloitte USI and now I’m anxious about it, what if they do the same? I have already left my current job, should I start searching again as backup?

Could anyone please share your experience if you have been in similar situations?

I am the first/only dedicated SDR manager at my company. The role was created mid year in 2021. Earlier this year, I was shown the business case which shows they budgeted $25k more for my salary. As I’m coming up on a year and the job was more than anyone anticipated (I started the cross sell motion, had massive turnover due to our underpaying SDRs, created the entire onboarding process for the team, and interact/support 8 different teams), should I ask for that $25k?
