Should I still take the interview but try and negotiate when and if I get the offer?

Also is a salary bump the main (or a very important) reason you’re looking to switch?

Your career is a marathon not a race. I’d spend time to build skills at Ey which will help you further position yourself in 1-2 years

Doesn’t sound worth it. They’re resetting you to zero. You shouldn’t pursue an opportunity that is entry and doesn’t give you credit for your experience.

Yes - allows you to answer fearlessly. You will do well in the interview

Of course. Are there other benefits that you could negotiate for like bonus, pto, rsus etc.?

The email stated that the salary expectation was in the mid to high sixties including the total rewards package.

What level are you? Mid to high 60s still sounds entry level.

I know little about your situation, but I feel like you could encounter better opps down the line. 1y each at two companies at the start of your career may look like you’re jumping around too much. Best of luck

Sounds awful. Stick w EY and you can make well over 100k in a few years.

You are like my friends who quit and went into software development. They all had to take pay cuts and start over. They are happy tho.

Both went from the 85-100 range at EY & D (federal), to 60’s range at startups in the DC area for a few years before getting enough experience to go west coast.

I’m considering changing too, just got promoted but I’m unhappy w my current skill set.

Question, when you know you made it to the final round and have had nothing but glowing feedback from the interviewers. How long do you expect to wait for an offer, rejection, follow up? This is a mid-senior management position which I am well qualified for. I am just new to the tech space.

Side note, we talked compensation and start date already.

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks. The salary was originally discussed as (say Xk) but the recruiter I'm working with said today that they "realigned the goals" and brought the salary down to (Xk-10). I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.
