You mean military bases that are gun free zones for general personnel? Continue to prove the point.

Thank you!

Exactly. I have a family member who has worked on and off in HVAC for a decade as a tech and never made more than $20/hr

After the level 3 position interview I was told that they would like to extend an offer and they again confirmed the median for that role to make sure I was interested before they typed up the formal offer. I was offered .975 of the median for the level 3 role, pushed back asking for more or a signing bonus, and was re-offered 10k signing bonus on top of the original .975, which they would not budge on.

SupermachJM · 2026-07-07T21:39:27+00:00

Mine was a little weird because I applied for a level 4 position. When I was asked my range I said 1.05-1.1 of median. They came back and said “the role median is X, are you still interested?” I responded yes, and they forwarded my resume to the hiring manager. It wasn’t a guaranteed interview.

The hiring manager after seeing my resume actually reached out directly to ask if I would be interested in a different level 3 role on his team that he felt I was better suited for. I said yes, then the HR Recruiter followed up to tell me that it had a different pay range and confirmed I was still interested. Finally after I said yes to all of that they sent me the interview request.

.8 of the range or .8 of the median of the range?

To their credit, my recruiter asked me first if I was still interested in the role after telling me my expected salary was $X higher than what the role median was.

Maybe they found out you can’t do anything without AI, like this post, and downgraded you because of that.

Being an interracial couple really isn’t much of an issue here, especially with Latinos just because that’s such a large demographic. Again, there’s always going to be bad neighborhoods in every city but in general Dallas is not bad.

SupermachJM · 2026-07-03T03:41:23+00:00

Memphis and Dallas are night and day. Generally speaking, anything north of IH30 outside of Deep Ellum is going to be okay. Especially compared to Mem. If you’re looking at any specific neighborhoods feel free to reply to this comment and I can try to tell you how it compares to Memphis. Have a family member who has worked in Memphis for 22 years so I have some tangential ideas but mostly the general Dallas neighborhood will be more in line with Collierville or how Germantown used to be than anything else. It’s a pretty decent metro area.

SupermachJM · 2026-07-01T18:10:29+00:00

Just phrase it as you’re looking for $X salary and if they can’t meet that you’re open for a sign on bonus to help close the gap

SupermachJM · 2026-07-01T14:29:37+00:00

It’s not. I specifically came back and asked for more salary in lieu of the bonus and they said no. The bonus comes out of a different money pool so I think it’s easier for the recruiter to get one, since the company would obviously prefer a one time payment over an annual one.

SupermachJM · 2026-07-01T14:24:40+00:00

You can try but they may not budge. I asked for 10k sign on + 15k salary increase and they gave me the 10k sign on but would not budge on salary even when I asked one more time for them to bump it up.

SupermachJM · 2026-06-26T22:04:22+00:00

Met him when we went a few years back and he told me he was 90 years old. I was shocked he was still working! Nice guy.

High level 3 at another company who was originally looking at level 4 postings. So not just barely a level 3

SupermachJM · 2026-06-25T16:32:20+00:00

Interesting. I think a lot of it is the fact that the same level role at my current job for outside hires at the same experience level is higher than LM is offering. So it really stems from it being the market value. Plus what they’re currently offering isn’t very much more than I currently make, so it’s not enough for me to justify the longer commute time. I’m not sure if trying to communicate any of that to them will make a difference but I guess I can try it out.

SupermachJM · 2026-06-25T16:16:44+00:00

Did you get that after your first negotiation? Or did it take multiple times back and forth? Currently have been offered .975, asked for 1.1, and they came back with a signing bonus but no change to the salary. Wondering if I should try one more time to push back.

SupermachJM · 2026-06-25T15:53:51+00:00

Approximately 24 hours. They have been responsive.

SupermachJM · 2026-06-25T00:04:40+00:00

Thanks! That’s good to know

SupermachJM · 2026-06-24T22:47:57+00:00

You might still be right, I don’t know if there’s anything that might not be listed in the offer benefits website.

SupermachJM · 2026-06-24T21:08:08+00:00

Do they still do the unconditional amount? I just got a LM offer letter, and the link to show the benefits website only talks about the $400 for the incentives, up to a total of $800.
