My husband was offered a position yesterday and he''s pretty sure he''s going to accept it. He''s also pretty sure that he''s going to get another offer from a different company. He''d prefer the first one because of its location and because he''s worked for this co. previously (and in the same dept. with the same people).
I can''t negotiate salary in my field so I can''t really give him advice. I don''t like salary.com but that''s what he''s been using to see what his position could be worth. The problem is that the range is so wide that it''s not really helpful. Plus, in today''s economy (I hate that phrase), things could look different in real life than on a generic website.
So, does anyone have any advice? Thank you!
The things that the co. is willing to do are:
1. give my husband a signing bonus (which we''ll use to help pay for our moving expenses since they won''t contribute to that)
2. they''re very flexible about his start date: mid-June
3. a $5K a year tuition reimbursement
He hasn''t gotten the official offer letter with the complete package outlining everything yet (like 401K info -- although it used to be 6% vested) but that''s the jist.
