Received a offer from Accenture for 115k and 5K sign on bonus for a data science position. The range I gave to the recruiter was 120-125k before the interview process and he said okay so thats why I continued interviewing but now he’s saying max is 115 because I only have 1 year “work experience”. Any feedback?? Should I continue interviewing with other companies? Do they really value years of experience more than your skills? :/

That's a strong offer for 1 YOE. You may have skills beyond that, but that is very hard to prove without more experience.

You’ve only been working for a year lol that’s a really high offer for that. And yea, YOE matters more in most companies.

Hmm i need to start looking then. I have more experience than you and I got offered less.

I don’t think it’s cool that the recruiter did that and I’d be mad. But, skills with no/little work experience are skills in a vacuum. Applying your skills in the work environment, delivering products, working in teams etc. are how you grow and gain practical experience that becomes more valuable.

It could be that he was assessed at a lower level after he went through the interview.

I can almost guarantee your skill set isn’t worth 125k a year with 1 yoe my guy don’t be upset over that offer

1 YOE and you’re still getting 120k TC at the end of the day. That’s within the range you asked. Plus there’s a possibility you might get bonuses throughout the year. That’s a solid offer imo

With YOE you gain skills that one can’t learn in a book, but in theory your skills and experience should tie together . Also, are you federal ? If so, that’s a great offer. I wish I was making 115 one year out of undergrad. My only suggest would be FANg, which the base won’t be as high; but you should be able to get a good amount of RSUs.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
