Magnetic North posted:That is what I figured you'd all say. Not sure what I'll do to respond, since he has answered all my questions and that is what I usually use to deflect. When he kept insisting I literally said "I've heard you're not supposed to say a number" which is when he said this other stuff, which I didn't necessarily agree with but it sounded a little like 'anchoring' so I was not immediately dismissive. I would continue not saying a number, but it sounds like this recruiter may force you to say one so you may want to have one prepared. If the recruiter presses strongly enough at a certain point you may have to anchor at a number you give or walk. If it's early in the process I'd generally recommend walking because it's a bad sign, but if you've already interviewed or desperate then you might as well give anumber that you'd be happy with.

Red posted:I had a great interview with a panel on Friday, and they asked for my references this morning. They want to bring in someone ASAP before the current person leaves. I asked if they could provide the proposed salary before I provide references, and their offer was $500 more than my on-paper salary, plus a signing bonus. However, my current position also provides a yearly $5-7k bonus (which is due at the end of the month, so I'd be forfeiting that); so I responded that I couldn't accept a pay reduction. They responded: Don't ask if they can get closer, just state what you want e.g. my target is $X. If they can't meet X then they'll respond with a number anyway. For the signing bonus portion, you can ask for them to cover your bonus you're leaving behind.

priznat posted:Not sure if this would be the thread for it, but when leaving a job do companies usually cut off RSU vesting if they’re in a notice period? While they probably could do so I've never heard of it happening. I'd be more concerned about being immediately fired upon giving notice.

Femtosecond: has the US firm given you an offer? If not then wait until then, if so and it's too low for you to take then you should counter with what it would take for you to take the job over the Canadian offer. You don't need to give an explanation for your counter number beyond that you have a competing offer.

While I agree that you should value startup equity at zero because this unlikely to be worth anything the logical conclusion is to not work at startups because they will value the equity and the total compensation will be significantly less than at a public company that gives equity.
