I found out that some of my less senior less tenure co-workers were getting paid 40% more than me at my old job too after I handed in notice. After they found out how much I was getting chiselled, they weren't surprised that I was leaving either.

ProSlayer posted:Cross-posting from the Oldies thread: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I see this line of thinking a lot and don't really understand it. So your apartment would be $1300 more in Boston than Austin. That's $1300 x 12 = $15600 a year, say $25,000 pre-tax. So you're basically going to be giving up $50K a year in compensation to get a cheaper apartment? Most stuff is going to cost similar amounts between Boston and Austin.

idk 50k to get to live in Austin instead of Boston seems fair to me

Got conditional terms sent to me. Offer is 130k and 15k lump sum relocation. I make 86k in NJ. Am I being crazy in thinking that this may not be enough money to move cross country to Santa Monica? At least I got given a number first.

15k is plenty of money for a cross country move

i mean i wouldnt move to santa monica for anything less than like 350 but thats because santa monica sounds terrible to me

i made less when i worked in LA and lived in westwood just fine. it's expensive but it's not the bay area. but here's a big big pro: it's not new jersey plus once you break into the six figgie club it's easier to move up from there

Got an offer coming in next week. It's a big pay raise, and the job sounds easier than what I'm doing now, but it's working for a large vendor so I'll be working on a narrower range of projects. I'm a bit nervous about what vendor work looks like on a resume; thoughts?

yotj update: turns out finding a remote gig after leaving two jobs in as many years is tougher than just walking into the open-office and saying "hire me, binch" Talking to a place founded by some German microkernel folks who are working on theorem-proved hypervisors tho, so fingers crossed I get to dereference a pointer again soon

Just had someone call me with the intention of making an offer but was asking what number I wanted. Are you supposed to give a number at this point? They hadn't emailed me anything yet and I really just wanted to see their initial offer so I just said I wasn't sure. I don't know if they were happy about that but they said they'd be sending me an offer in the next few days. The thing is I have an onsite at a FAANG next week so I don't want to exactly commit or burn a bridge if that doesn't pan out... I hate interviews.

That was for sure a ploy to get you to name a number lower than they were going to offer.

you can say a number first if you know what you're doing and have a very good idea of what your market / skill intersection is looking like. put more simply: if you have to ask, you shouldn't be offering a number

Now an HR person there wants to call me to talk about the offer. I highly suspect they're going to ask for a number again. What are some good deflections?

Just tell them to make their best offer and you will consider it. But what number would you accept? "I don't disclose that before receiving an offer."
|
# ? Apr 23, 2019 23:52 |
|
To be honest, if you're at the offer stage, this would seem like the best time to state a number if any. At this point you should know everything you need to know about the job to estimate an appropriate compensation. Just state a large number, not a hilariously large number, but still something you think they'll say no to, say that's it's a target and not a demand, and then negotiate.

Or if you just have no idea of your own worth and what that company is likely to pay (rookie error no.1), then sure just keep stonewalling. But IMO there's nothing wrong with being forthcoming at this stage if you know they want you and not someone else.
