So, after seven long months I was finally offered a new job but the salary is about 30% less then what I was making before. Would I be risking this opportunity if I tried to get them to increase their offer? Like, they wouldn't change their minds about hiring me if I pushed for a higher salary, would they?

I don't see the harm in asking if there is a little wiggle room in the salary

No ask for more

IMHO, always ask - politely but ask. Is there any room for negotiation?

how big is the agency you are considering?

I also ask about the review/raise schedule. As a new employee hired in XYZ month 2025, when will I be eligible for review/additional compensation.

If/when they won't move or have just come back with a smallish bump, I have gotten additional PTO, and shortened the 401k contribution and/or full investiture wait time. With the RTO mandates - there maybe flexibility on the # of days - or not.

At a strategic moment I have also asked, in light of all the recent mergers, what is the severance package at ABC?

In the end this will be your life - for a while. As the commercial says- you are worth it.

You could ask if there’s any room $ and more importantly room for growth. But take care, the market seems rather awful, so it might be worth having this role while you keep looking.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

What's the future of SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) I have been offered this role.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
