Just got back from interviews (Senior Product Designer) in San Francisco and Seattle. Ended up getting both, however I’m more into the one in Seattle. Seattle job called me yesterday and verbally informed me that the BC would be $170k, and a $15k SB. However upon landing, an email came through where they claimed to have made a mistake and the SB is actually $10k. I’m moving (potentially) across the country and planned to use the SB to ship my things, and also secure the first/last/deposit on an apt. But with an automatic 25% gov tax, that now leaves me almost $4k less to get everything squared away. How do I go about asking them to go back to $15k without offending them?
Agree. Explain what you said here and ask for it
Just ask. They won’t be offended.
