Was verbally given a verbal offer from the recruiter yesterday, I didn’t negotiate much because I thought the salary was pretty good for manager level and my experience. A few hours later he emails...

Pls... where is this firm so that I can cash in on a 100% salary bump! 😂

...and said he miscommunicated and was giving me offers for SM level instead, so he would have to adjust comp & title to be lower. I was under the impression that the amount was for M level and I was pretty happy about it.

I’m now unsure about the firm because there’s been quite a lot of little “oops sorry”s during this process. How should I talk through this with the recruiter on Monday? I of course don’t want my offer to be lower than what I was given, but am not sure what the convo approach should be now.

M to SM comp quite honestly is not that bad...

If I’m reading this correctly, same salary, higher title? It’s better the be the lowest paid senior manager than the highest paid manager. Your annual compensation adjustments can be far more generous when you’re not near the top of the band.

Thanks please do let us know! And good luck!

Verbally given a verbal offer 😂

Maybe, I get a solid 9 or so hours actually. So no shame

If you have a job and are up for promotion, always negociate. If you end up in the upper end of a M salary band, your raise will be lower. I'd also do due-delligence on the culture and how they deliever work.

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!
