Salary negotiations just started for me at a company that I’ve been through four interview rounds with. I gave them a pretty broad bracket I’d like my salary to fall in, and they came back with an offer including a base salary of the bottom value of the bracket. Thoughts on how I should respond?

What do the industry comps look like? You could leverage that data to pull up your number.

Alternatively, respond back with the high end of your range and hope to end in the middle

If you have been through four interviews, it sounds like they are pretty serious about finding the right person for the role. If they want you, they'll have to pay you what you are worth. I would go back to them with a counter. The worst they can say is no.

I would ask for 10% above what they offered. Formerly working at blackrock , the bonuses are solid, so should be fairly compensated when you consider total comp

Hopefully you didn't lowball you salary. Go back at them with a counter, or even work out other benefits to the side of sticking with the lower salary.

Ask them what’s their current paybands-highest and lowest for the similar position that you applied to. If the company is in CA or NY, they are obliged to. To see where your offer stations which tells how they perceive your values. Even if you’re at the top band from their standard, still write a long specific bullet pointed letter that shows values you’ll add and why you deserve more than the current offer. If you’re at the bottom of their current band as well, then more reason to do so.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
