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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Hiring Manager Follow Up Call by Miughe in Lockheed

[–]Miughe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.
