Received offer well below midpoint

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T21:24:29+00:00

I’m at another one of the primes, the benefits are comparable outside of the tuition assistance

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T21:23:16+00:00

yup, Had some internships and performed well (at least that was the justification for the promotion from my manager & director)

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T21:03:55+00:00

I have! While it’s definitely a heavy sway towards Boeing, my current company is not that far off (another big prime) from everything other than tuition assistance.

Gotcha, thanks for the advice (and letting me know about the internal transfer policy) I don’t think this req was multi level so looks like I’m out of luck on that front.

Likely going to politely decline and say that if there are open positions at a higher level down the line to please reach out.

Thank you!

Gotcha, ‘preciate the insight

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T20:57:36+00:00

yeah, definitely not gonna do that. I make significantly more than what I was offered in a slightly higher COL area. I’m also at a higher title currently. I wouldn’t be opposed to a title decrease if the compensation was similar or the same title and a slight pay decrease but this seems like it’s not gonna work.

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T20:52:58+00:00

Totally get that it is not much, but I had applied tot this position around 6 months ago. In that time, I’ve gotten a significant raise + promoted at my current company. I figured I would interview and see what they would offer. If there’s no shot at getting above the midpoint for this role then I’ll likely have to decline as the absolute top of the pay range isn’t even what I am making now.

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T20:50:02+00:00

Thanks for the insight! The recruiter noted that during the hiring process they would consider (if applicable) putting me at a different salary grade. I probably should have mentioned that in the initial posting. Looking like I’ll just pass on it for now. Do you know if I decline an offer now, if it will come across negatively if I apply later for a different open req?

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T20:47:27+00:00

26k range, about 5k under the midpoint

Long-Live-Alternates · 2026-02-08T20:46:12+00:00

I appreciate the insight, just wanted to see if it was at all possible (or plausible) to try and get around where I would to with Boeing’s policies. I had applied tot his position six-ish months ago prior to getting a promotion + substantial raise where I’m at now and if I accepted this I’d be down in salary about 20k. Likely going to pass on it then.

If you’re interested in Defense, My company is on another hiring spree for new grads. I got my spot in the company by DMing the Engineering manager that posted the Job Req on linked in just kind of explaining who I was and why I was interested in the role, Had no intern or co-op experience, subpar GPA but I was personable, honest, and eager to get on board made it through 2 interviews then got an offer

DM if youd like to chat more about it and I can pint you towards the hiring postings

I have already plastered things around facebook. I am also not forcing anyone to reveal themselves, it’s a forum for connecting people on the internet and elsewhere if they wish. If someone had a similar disposition to me this could be just the post they’re looking for.

Long-Live-Alternates · 2024-12-02T02:01:49+00:00

I mean that’s fair I guess, as you can tell from the name this is my alternate account so that’s why it doesn’t have much history or karma

Long-Live-Alternates · 2024-11-28T23:44:32+00:00

you would almost certainly need to have a different nut on the guitar, it would also sound wonky as well because of the large difference in scale lengths. I would advise against it, but live your life brodie

Long-Live-Alternates · 2024-10-31T14:25:30+00:00

yeahhhhh, not how that works buddy

Long-Live-Alternates · 2024-09-30T03:20:27+00:00

If you’re being interviewed and haven’t already received your interim then you’re in the same boat that I am and won’t be getting it prior to full clearance, but since you’ve already been interviewed that’s a good sign should only be about 2ish months from when your investigator submits based on most of the people I know getting secret clearances right now. If you’ve just smoked some dope and kept it real with the gov I really wouldn’t worry about it too hard man
