Re: Handling Potential Job Offer Negotiation

Yeah, I got a job offer and I can negotiate it to the following compensation package Salary: $170,000 RSU: $180,000 ($45,000 per year with a 1 year cliff) Relo Reimbursement: $5,000 grossed up lump sum Seems decent for the NYC area, especially for someone who is a state government employee previously with no upwards career trajectory. I'm leaning towards accepting and leaving my hometown for the NYC area. Am a little scared to do it because (1) it goes out of comfort zone (2) finding a place to live in the NYC city is a significant challenge and I am liable for any employment agreement/contract violations if I don't appear on site at such and such an agreed upon time.

Re: Handling Potential Job Offer Negotiation

The recruiter needs to be doing more of this work. She should know the industry and what similar placements have secured, either through her own placements or others in her firm. Businesses can be leary of government employees moving into the private sector...I'm sure you are aware of the stereotype. You are unlikely to get a top offer as a result. You can mitigate that via high level performance on the job. Unlike government employment where step increases and promotions are pretty much automatic, a great private employer will reward performance via bonuses and increased compensation because they can't afford to lose a top performer over a 25-50% salary disparity. Good luck. And insist your recruiter do her job. I get the impression he is...

I do think this is a very different scenario by location. In our county the (county contracted) trash crews run up and down the street and pickup each can by hand and empty it into the back of the truck. It's got to be a miserable job. But, they've always taken time to say hi to us and especially my young kids, to the point of even bringing a gift for my youngest's 2nd birthday since he had bragged that it was his birthday to them.

Her job does not require complete silence. She does. She struggles with a focus disorder and plans to seek out available treatment options in 2024.

When she was studying for exams, she used to check into a hotel for days and request no calls. Sure, there were occasional hallway or room noises, but for some reason they bothered her less than at home.
How does she plan to overcome this if she doesn't force herself to deal with the minor noises?

Re: laid-off - tips for interviewing

Its important because the potential employer may contact you most recent former employer. Technically that employer can only confirm employment dates and job title, but often are asked if you would be eligible for re-hire in the future. If they answer the eligible for rehire question, you would want to anticipate what they will say and not let it contradict what you say. They can ask whatever they want, but my understanding is that absolute majority of the companies would only confirm the title and employment dates. It is hit or miss on the rehire eligible question. Some places won’t some will and a few dill only answer if the answer is yes. It’s also a useless question. Because often times laid off employees are not eligible for rehire as...
