Got an offer that is less than what I made as an intern this past summer. When I told the recruiter that I was making 20k more as an intern she goes "unfortunately the salary is going to be non-negotiable." Like Jesus why did you tell me at the beginning that your salaries were competitive? They are also unwilling to give me more time consider the offer (only giving 2 weeks). It is the only offer I have at his point, but I'm going to turn it down because I'm expecting a return offer that is at least 2.5 times this lowball offer. How do I politely tell her that the salary might be competitive with rates in India but in the US this is not competitive at all? Offer: 75k cash (might be some bonus). General Motors.
You should have known gm pays no where close to Bay Area tech... wasted effort on your end.
Just tell them thank you for the offer but you’ll have to decline it as you had a significantly higher offer elsewhere. They will understand and they would do the same exact thing.
Hey @Blind, this says I deleted my own comment but I didn’t
Just politely said there are other opportunities you would like to explore and is unable to commit to the current offer.
It is GM, you should know they don't pay. Don't go there. It will poison your resume
Bro it is gm. Lol forget it
Don't simply reject an offer unless you signed another one and have a starting date coming up. Sign the low-ball offer, then wait till the last day before you would start and only then reject. Always hedge your positions, always delay making such decisions.
Well. Turn it down after two weeks. Tell them you support the UAW and cannot work for GM based on how they treat their workers.
Oh. I hear apple treats their workers pretty well. Refer me to Apple?
You’ve discovered what offers look like outside of tech hubs from non-tech companies. This is a competitive offer for the type of engineers they’re looking for, which clearly isn’t you. Say no and set your sights higher for the next company.

I was polite over the phone because you never know, she might end up as a recruiter at a decent company one day.
