A friend recently interviewed at Bloomberg for Sr. S/W Eng. position and team matching calls have also occurred. HR keeps asking expected compensation but friend keeps pushing back and saying other interviews are in process. HR said offer will come out next week, then will be non-negotiable and only 1 week to accept. Is this the way Bloomberg handles offers?

Current TC: ~100k

  • If BBG is not your first choice then just reject the offer, the market is hot

      It's not about being first choice. They are inclined but want to know how the offer process is in general or whether the HR is just pushing

  • Looks like Bloomberg is not “your friend” first choice. So just throw them a number that he will sign

    I am about to start at BBG. After interviews, when the recruiter asked my number I literally said “sorry, but I would prefer you start that conversation”. I did mention I was interviewing elsewhere, but I didn’t have any offers. I am glad I said that because when he got back to me the number was much higher than I would have expected for 3yoe, almost 300k.

    Just don't answer, or say you are interviewing elsewhere and salary is a big considering factor.

      That is fine. But wanted to know whether they don't give even 2 weeks to consider the offer and it's non-negotiable once offer letter is generated?
