My position as Director was recently eliminated due to a restructuring within my team at Comcast and I was given a month to find a new role internally. I applied for a few Sr Director positions and happy that I landed a role in a team where I see a lot of potential for growth. I just got the offer letter and noticed that he base salary offered is just 5% higher than my current salary when usually I have seen compensation increases that are part of promotions is usually closer to 10%. What would you do if you were in my position - counter with a number closer to 10% stating the value I bring to the role given my experience? Or - take the offer?
Whats your leverage to counter? Are you really willing to "not take the offer"?
Couple things: 1. Having been in Comcast for 12 + years, I can hit the ground running on the new team and can add value day 1 2. Based on past experiences with internal promotions in the past, I have received increases in base pay over 8% with each jump and the 5% seemed like a low ball offer. Hence wondering if it would make sense to counter combined with an ask for an extra headcount to accelerate value creation by my team. Thoughts?
So you’re going to ask for more money and a bigger team? Bold move.
What's wrong with asking for both?
What's your TC? Any RSUs? This matters
Where did you end up landing with this? I’m in a similar situation

Meta vs Google for swe
Take what you got. Sounds like they didn't much care if they kept you anyway if they didn't try to reposition you themselves or offer options.
This role is in a different organization and they really want me there
