The company I currently work for has been doing mass layoffs. I am trying to get ahead and start applying now before the inevitable.

I applied for a company that is consistently rated one of the best places to work in my city. When I was reading the position information I misread the salary information. The base is $15k less than I make currently. I'm still interviewing for it because I need job security, but how do I let them know I'd like $5-10k more than what they have listed?

You should just tell them you want to get paid 5-10k more than the listed base salary.

I would just ask a question like "is the salary posted the correct range?" and then just let then know that's under what you are currently paid. I would just keep it simple since you are trying to potentially negotiate out of their range, so they may just say no. but you gotta ask to get what you want.

I am sorry to hear that. I know how tough the job market is right now. I would definitely recommend networking and trying to get referrals to help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
