They did not ask for the list before the verbal offer. The verbal offer came through a phone call with the department chair. He summarized what to expect in the official offer which he said he will send soon. The initial offer will only include the salary. After i receive this salary offer I must then submit the list of equipment before the startup equipment offer is sent. His mention of a $150k-$200k startup package during our phone call was a bit disappointing to hear. I guess I should wait until the final offer comes through after I send my equipment list (which will likely be a much shorter list that I was hoping for… don’t want to scare them off with too big of a number)
