Would appreciate feedback. Received a verbal offer this morning for Cloud Engineer from Accenture in San Francisco and believe the offer is low. Recruiter told me $100k/yr TC (I don't have a breakdown of the offer). Seems low for the SF Bay Area, no?

Fwiw, college hires in SF get offered 85k plus 15k signing bonus.

How many YOE?

Assuming that all 5 of your YOE are relevant to tech or consulting, 100k is extremely low. FYI, I was offered 90k by Accenture (Bay Area) with 1 YOE and still thought it was too low.

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call.

Is this a red flag?

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
