Just got an offer from Boeing and I’m wondering if I should negotiate my salary
Hi everyone! I just got an offer for a Level 2 Data Analyst role for $85K, and I am so excited! I was wondering if it's possible for me to negotiate 10-15% on top what I was given. I live in Southern California and it's really expensive so I’d like to ask for a little more. I have 5 years of experience in aerospace manufacturing and 2 years of data analytics experience, so I think I can make a good case for a counter offer. Also, is the $85K they're offering my annual salary, not including a performance based bonus? I've read it can be up to 7% at Boeing, but I’m not sure if that's true. So should I negotiate or could I get my offer rescinded for asking for too much? I don't want to screw myself out of a potential job. Any thoughts/advice on how I should go about doing this would be much appreciated. Thanks! Update: I’m in the process of negotiating my salary. Asking for 8.5% increase, which I think is fair. Originally considered asking for 10-15% but didn’t want to look greedy. Update 2: Was able to successfully negotiate $5k extra, making my base salary $90k. Still a little lower than I would have wanted, but I’m happy for the most part. 😃
Just say you will be thrilled if they can get you to or close to 100k and let them get back to you
Yeah I’m gonna ask for the 10-15%. I was scared at first but everyone is saying it’s perfectly normal to counter offer and the worst they can say is no
I would check Glassdoor salary ranges for your position. Remember your location is HCOL so you can definitely shoot for more. Personally I wouldn’t take less than 120k base salary
Based off the salaries on Glassdoor, they’re offering around the median amount for the role, the only thing is I live in a very HCOL area so I think a slight bump in my salary is fair
Always negotiate, even if they say they don’t.
Yeah I am. I don’t wanna be greedy so I’m asking for an 8.5% salary bump. Was thinking 10-15% but felt it was too much for an L2 position.
Absolutely negotiate. They’re not going to rescind your offer unless you come across as a huge jerk. Did they give you any stock? Sometimes that can be easier to negotiate.
Ok great, I’ll reach out to the recruiter tomorrow and make a case for myself. No stock unfortunately :/ do you have any advice on how I should go about asking/making a case for myself?
Tbh I’m not well versed in the world of Data roles and how they pay but something along the lines of “My x years of experience amount towards $$$ in the market and I’d like to counter with a salary of $xxx”. You could also ask for a sign on bonus, which helps your year 1 total comp. Best of luck
