So I spoke to the recruiter for a company, they gave me x salary. I agreed.


Went through the interview, 2 months later, they gave me an offer that is 16% less than the original salary due to budget restraints. No sign on bonus, no relocation.

I am so fed up with this market.

I currently have another offer from a different company that has a slightly higher salary, sign on bonus, end of year bonus. But the job itself is not something that I can grow in.

I am going to continue recruiting but one is hybrid and the other isnt. The hybrid comp is the one that reduced my salary by x…..so I feel like I can easily recruit with that offer than another.

Is relocation required?

Move on. To put it in blunt terms, they want you at least 16% less than they did before, so you should reciprocate by wanting them 16% less plus a premium penalty for bad form. While there are few guarantees in the US, voting with your feet is your privilege in an at-will work environment.
