Yes, unless I was currently unemployed.

Yes they won’t likely retract after they give the offer. Makes sense to at least give a counter if you feel necessary.

like

Yeah. But be prepared to have some push back and walk away from the offer in worst case scenario.

Just did. FAANG offer, their best was ~15% lower than my expectations.

Said no and will try to make partner 😂

What type of role are you juggling?

Similarly got an offer for 30% less than expectation though for a local company.

You can politely negotiate under any circumstances. As long as you communicate well they are unlikely to retract an offer. If they can’t give you what you expect now and they say it’s due to covid19 budget issues, maybe ask if/how you could get a raise once things pick up. If they are lowballing in a way that is unrelated to covid19 budget issues, you have no reason to not negotiate.

Yes - politely negotiate. I did this and know others who did as well. Best of luck.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE. People may arrive at different destinations at different times while being on the almost similar path.

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)
