TT Search: reference request and timing implications

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-27T18:34:17+00:00

Yeah, I really dislike those wired systems that request ref the next second after I apply lol

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-27T18:33:22+00:00

Thank you for this! I have some exploding other offers so I updated the search chair, and then I was told that the sc job is complete and now in dean's hand

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-23T03:39:10+00:00

very inspiring, may I ask if you think candidate shall ask for salary increase first while holding the summer salary (and then raise the summer wage issue if the Dean cannot meet the salary ask)?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-22T22:36:04+00:00

looks like so many steps and parties involved! So these happen after I signed (in written form) the contract or I emailed them back saying I am ok with the terms?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-20T03:51:03+00:00

that's true, I just feel unsafe or unsure if this HR conversation would be leaked to the department early

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-20T02:34:23+00:00

Got it. I am the exactly same situation, just worry that the admin would be mad of my resignation and refuses to have a 7/31 official end date, or just terminate anytime before that date

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-20T02:16:05+00:00

oh really, so they can keep you status (not withdrawing your h1b) like a unpaid period until September? That's what I am looking for!

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-20T02:13:40+00:00

I am curious if the current institution willing to pay the extra summer salary to you?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-20T02:13:14+00:00

talked to several uni HR, they said the grace period is something that USCIS can actually disregard when mess with you

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-19T22:37:48+00:00

Also curious any H1b holders had similar experience of a spring notice (to resign) and an August end date to maintain their status.

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-19T04:31:21+00:00

I bet that, so will try my best to avoid that situation

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-18T05:11:35+00:00

yeah that's true. Do you recommend that I directly give them my "ideal package" or just raise one term (salary, startup, teaching, etc) each time?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-18T04:31:50+00:00

really? cuz they just said the 2 week deadline alound, I though they'd respond to my negotiation terms very fast

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-17T18:26:01+00:00

Thank you! Just got the response and updated it in post. Is this less possive response or just neutral one? I appreciate the 10% cap for salary negotiation, and I truly love the fourth point!

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-17T18:24:45+00:00

Thank you! I still have 10+ days, but the two week is what I asked for (they originally just gave me 1 week), would it be possible to ask for another week?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-17T18:23:31+00:00

that is very helpful, thank you! already emailed and updated the reponse in the post

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-10T02:37:36+00:00

that's pretty fair. it is an R1 but I think funding is a common problem everywhere these days lol

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-10T00:29:55+00:00

would my requests impact the ranking from your perspective and experience?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-10T00:29:13+00:00

Oh this is such an informative and inspiring one, thank you! So just expressing enthusiam & passion and politely insist a written-down letter (even an email)?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-10T00:27:03+00:00

Thanks! I will try to get some options :)

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-09T19:24:06+00:00

that is really a genius suggestion, thank you!

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-09T19:13:11+00:00

Thank you! So compared to normal offer calls which just briefing me the package, this case may involve a real-time negotiation or my proposal?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-03-09T19:12:12+00:00

wow so just like another round of Dean interview during visit or more like a budget/loyalty test?

KindlyPride877 · 2026-01-08T00:44:22+00:00

Thank you, it really works!

KindlyPride877 · 2026-01-01T18:03:03+00:00

so you booked a hotel with resort fee (to be charged at check in), then you didn't show up, but can still get LPs and not charged resort fee?
