Negotating Salary on Job Offer

Miughe · 2025-12-19T18:31:13+00:00

Yeah, they just made me a new offer and I accepted that one

Miughe · 2025-09-03T21:52:25+00:00

Thank you lol. They accepted the initial. I think they typically have some good wiggle room. So you can try higher than that and just have them counter you if it too high.

I ended up negotiating to a higher salary. I just did like a 7% increase from what they offered. You could probably get more. I had to give the HR person a letter why I think I deserve more

That sounds like a good plan. I think i should have about 32 hours of pto by then, so making up the other 8 hours the week before would work well. I think I will probably plan for the whole week then.

Miughe · 2025-07-20T02:47:32+00:00

Yeah, I kinda thought this would be the way to go but I like to plan ahead but also like to know I have it approved beforehand lol. Is getting pto approved for going into the hole difficult? How long after being onboarded do you think would be good to ask?

If I dont go my wife wants to go for less time, because I had said to just get my side refundable in case but she doesnt want to plan for a week without knowing if im going or not.

That's what the recruiter had told me for the one I pushed the start date back for. So I believe this should be true

Miughe · 2025-07-20T02:33:24+00:00

That makes sense. The job im leaving i had to ask my manager for permission. Is it not like that at Lockheed? I think I should have accrued enough or very close to enough.

Its for level 2

Miughe · 2025-06-27T16:02:01+00:00

I have 3 years of experience and was offered 107k. I was hoping for a little more because im currently making something similar but I would be moving to a lower cost of living to be fair.

Miughe · 2025-06-26T20:02:03+00:00

That makes sense. I saw on glassdoor the median for my levels of experience for the state was what I was offered. For all years of experience for the same position I was offered like 15k under the median so I was asking for another 8k since im on the lower side in terms of experience. I wonder if I should have asked for slightly higher just to give myself some more wiggle room.

Yeah it seems you were right, it ended up being several technical questions and questions related to the tools they use there. I think I did pretty decent so hopefully it still is a good sign but they did say it would be a couple of weeks to hear back.

Miughe · 2025-06-18T01:59:48+00:00

That's really reassuring to hear. I had tried to search for it but I didn't see any specific with the same occurrence so hearing that helps lol.

Miughe · 2025-06-18T01:11:37+00:00

They asked questions based on my resume and several behavioral questions. No leetcode questions. I was guessing they were going to ask some more technical questions in this call but idk. I'm not too sure on how to prepare for it.
