Need help deciding if this offer is worth moving for. Received an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton for an Associate level Sr. Systems Engineer in Los Angeles for $135k base. I countered $150k and a $15k singing bonus and asked if I could be brought on as a lead associate since I've been a lead/manager for a while in my current company.
Current company TC: $125k in Utah.
YOE: 7 with M.S. and MBA

Can you name a few such head hunters ?
They do want you to get higher pay, but secondary to you getting hired. They don't get anything if you are out of the pay band/range of the position and don't accept/get offered the position. They tend to try and keep you in the range the hiring manager expressed. Watch out for salary coaching advice, as this is a big sign that they are trying to fit you in a position that does not pay as much as you might want.
I've heard x months or a year salary depending on level of course. Not certain though.
So that arrangement would suggest that the headhunters' interests are aligned with the candidates'... i.e., the more you get, the more they make, which sounds great to me as a potential candidate...but I also know they DON'T represent my interests, only their firm's interests, so that's why I wondered if there might be some other sort of arrangement that keeps their incentives more aligned with the hiring firm's.
Getting you a few extra bucks is worth less to them than turning over the search rapidly.
They very likely could be getting a flat rate with x percent of people placed else they lose the contract.
@D, Interested here. Can you share contacts?
My headhunter was a predator. He flexed so I had to nuke his spacecraft.
