I have been offered an 18-month contract at Microsoft. The pay I said I was good with was $70/hr, at the beginning of the interviews. Previous TC's hourly rate comes out to $63.13/hr. After looking at how much my health insurance will cost with the contracting company (Kforce), it looks like I'll actually be making very little extra vs. my previous position (comes out to about $2k extra annually). I've got the offer letter in hand. Can I negotiate a higher hourly rate at this point? #microsoft #kforce #contract
Yeah you can ask, but be willing to walk away if it doesn't work out.
OP, can I ask what’s ur YOE? If I join KForce as 1YOE, how much is my estimated pay? TC 90k
Going to need a good justification. You could try the health insurance angle
Or inflation angle
Inflation between now and when he accepted the verbal offer a few days ago? That’s not gonna fly
