I negotiated with Illumina and they told me I was at the highest end they could get. When I passed on them with an offer from Salesforce, they know are trying to compete. I signed for Salesforce last night, but haven’t completed the background check yet. Can I still back out or will I burn a bridge here? Can I still see if Salesforce wants to compete?#tech #offer #negotiateoffer
You definitely do not want to risk saleforce offer with illumina offer. illumina hires team C nowadays and will set you back in career for couple years
Can you explain what you mean by team C?
This is for design btw not SWE
Don’t accept a counter offer
Why not
You’ve proven you’re not happy and ready to leave. They cannot be assured the counter offer will keep you long term but only short term to possibly replace you. Not always but it’s a chance
