What do you do when you are offered 20% less?
I just got an offer about 20% less than I value my work. I have 1.5-year experience as a developer.
I like the field but I did not like their approach when they made their offer (over the phone, "how does this look to you?" etc.), which was a bit lower that what they had implied they would offer during the interviews.
What should I do?
- aurizon 8y ago" That is a good start - for the probationary period, at the successful completion of which the salary will go to your phone offer amount" - or something similar. You could also reply at 10% less for the probationary period.
- NonEUCitizen 8y agoYou can turn down the offer.
- sharemywin 8y agoAssume raises suck and a general adversarial view of employees at the company. You might also want to look at benefits. I assumed most companies had similar benefits.
- aregs 8y agoCounter offer that you would accept if they give the additional 20%. If they don't accept then you'll have to decide if you are willing to move forward or not.
- insdel 8y agoThank you very much for your suggestions. They are helpful. By the way, they don't offer more benefits. When I asked them if they do, they replied with some crap on how they are a big company and some more bullshit which did not make much sense. I will follow your advice, thank you.
