SO is at the offer stage for a fintech. It’s a compliance analyst level role and a lateral move. The trouble is that the offer came in at the same point as her current salary at a bank. The recruiter made it sound like we don’t negotiate with candidates and it’s an exploding offer. After considering the usual tech perks like discounted ESPP, the offer improves marginally. Unsure if it is the recruiter playing hardball or if they truly don’t negotiate for compliance analyst roles. Any advice?

Is this a hot startup? I have no experience in that space but that seems odd to me / a potential red flag

Okay well short of asking anyone who is/has worked there, I guess she can try to negotiate or just suck it up. Sounds like it’s compelling if it’s doing well.

Do you think it will add value to her resume? Sounds like yes due to startup’s status...if that’s the case, then might be worth it.

Your options:
1. Take the job if she’s crazy about the role
2. If interested in the role but not for the offered amount ask for more.
3. Walk away (not sure what you get out of this option but it’s there)

Thanks so much for the offer. I love the company and all the people I met through the process. Really appreciate everyone’s time and hope we can work together at some point. Unfortunately, the monetary portion of the offer is about 20% below what it would take for me to make a move at this time. I hope we can stay in touch; and obviously if your firm is willing to make a change given all the value I could add to your organization, I would be very interested.
