Have an offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role but it seems like this one requires 2-3 days in the office - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

If you accepted the offer and they later changed it, you did the right thing to walk away. Perhaps you could have called them on it and negotiated a better deal, but if they were going to pull a shady move like that it's probably better to just put the place behind you.
I did call them on it, but they said that the original offer would apply after the 6-month probation. My wife thinks that I should have given them a higher number instead... well, I live, I learn... Next time I wont be so honest.
That's reprehensible behavior and a painful way to learn to never give your current salary to a potential employer. Good on you for not accepting that nonsense.

I think that’s a good decision. Adjusting their offer down sounds like a big red flag.
