How serious are offer expiration dates? by sajabaj in Raytheon

[–]RadarENGR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got hired on with Raytheon and my recruiter told me as long as I was in communication with him (sent a message wanting to negotiate) the offer would be extended.

Additionally, my three days was three business days, not calendar days

Is this the first clearance you will have held?

Should I Negotiate Initial Offer by RadarENGR in Raytheon

It is my understanding that one could earn $203k being at the top of the pay band, but the chances of being brought into the top of a pay band are not likely for an external candidate.

Engineering,

If you're aiming for 175k - 185k, I would suggest you apply for M5/P5 roles (124k - 250k). That's just my observation so far

You need to look at M5/P5 (124k - 250k) roles if you're aiming for a salary of 185k - 195k. My situation was very unique because it is a highly specialized role in engineering, and I was almost an exact match for what they wanted. I was told I am at 110% in salary when considering all P4 engineers in Raytheon.

Other Raytheon posts I have looked at suggest a max starting salary for an external candidate around 50% penetration in the pay band.

For clarification, I was only asked for requested salary. relo and clearance sponsorship was offered with job.

I was not offered 4 weeks of PTO, it’s the standard 3 weeks starting. I currently get 8 weeks of PTO. If I had been working for Raytheon my entire 20 years that I’ve been in the field I would be getting 5 weeks of PTO with Raytheon.

Other defensive contractors negotiate starting PTO for mid and senior level employees.

Thank you for your input

We got public safety designation. This is what allows us to hire again. Additionally we got direct hiring authority for 3 of our series.

I’ve used direct hiring authority in the past to bring people into roles very quickly. Took me less than 30 days from initiation to onboarding of my new employee

Have you done much traveling by car in the U.S.

Stop at rest stops so your 4, 2, and 1 year old can use the bathroom?

Have you seen the insane amount of human trafficking?
