Don't bail out. Take the driver's seat and force them to meet your terms. Ask for a personal meeting with Jeff to pitch you and the company and respond personally to the article. Get multiple offers and see if they are really unable to give you a competitive offer. After you've done a thorough evaluation you can decide whether to move ahead; and they can't be upset if you pass given the publicity. But your opponent is on the ropes right now and it's truly the best time to try to score a sweetened offer.
- DaveWalk 11y agoA great point, which I haven't heard anywhere else in this discussion. We the job hunters have the ability to bend the job to our expectation before we start. It's a negotiation, it's an uncomfortable conversation, sure, but it will absolutely pay off no matter what happens in the end. As a bonus, I believe that one gains respect when one speaks up at a job interview and demands what they need to be successful. Also, this works for every job, everywhere. Very wise advice.
