Recently got an offer in LCOL/MCOL for a senior tax accountant role for 87k. 3 years of public experience and have been in industry for almost a year. Current job pays about 5k more, but is a bit of a rarity in my city. New job’s team and culture are more appealing to me. Is the offer reasonable or should I try to negotiate? I’ve never negotiated before so I’m scared they might pull the offer. Thanks!

I would tell them that you’re currently at 92k so you don’t think that you’ll be able to move for a pay cut. If they really want you they’ll realize they need to come with a better offer. Chances are very slim that they’d pull it, they will instead tell you that they can’t do any better than their current offer. At that point it’s up to you. Personally I’m not in the business of taking pay cuts.

How much more are you negotiating for and is it worth it to push for that amount?

I think I would try to ask for 5k more to get me to my current salary. Just not sure if it’s worth it bc I feel like the job market has been kinda tough (IMO)?

Is job in industry or PA?

I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

First time posting here but… I’m currently a 1st year Tax Analyst making 58,000 plus bonus. I was never informed on how raises work for this company, but it’s the end of the year and there has not been any talk of performance evaluation, which I assumed was when compensation would be covered. This is my first “real” industry job so I’m not too sure. Is it too soon in my career to consider looking else where? The area I live has a pretty height cost of living. (F23)

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
