Received offer for Cyber Security Senior Consultant role from Deloitte for 95k which I felt was too low. Attempted to negotiate and the recruiter would not budge. Any thoughts as to why?

Too low. Provide a comprehensive of your experience and industry standards/norms and reiterate why you’re asking for what you’re asking for. Be specific.

Might mean recruiter doesn’t value you. If possible, I would reach out to interviewer directly. Recruiters sometimes are subcontracted. Depends how badly you want the position.

Too low for an incoming experienced hire. You will get F’d for years to come (with the % raises) if you come in at that salary. Don’t make my mistake

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
