Apr 1, 2021 4 Comments

Role is senior devops infrastructure engineer.
Interview went awesome. Offer is 150K

However, I made a counter for 185K -195K.

Haven’t heard back. It’s been a little more than a week now.

Also, I have a current TS /SCI clearance with Poly + Security+ which is needed for PU on their systems

Location: Aurora Colorado.

Current TC: 126K
YoE: 5
Current location: Dallas, Texas

    I was eyeing that position a month ago. I think that is a fair counter considering YoE and having TS/SCI with poly

  • You're not going to get $180k as an Associate. That being said, I'd expect them to counter with $160k assuming the contract they want you on can support it.

    Our hiring is a bit of a mess, so I wouldn't fret about not hearing back immediately. Definitely follow up though.

  • 185-195 is reaching for the stars and that’s high end of a Lead Associate imo. If you really wanna get paid, you need to go to tech with a devops infra skill set. BAH is not a high paying company 150k base, 1-5% raise per year, an additional 5-10% on promo years, no bonus until SA, which is 2 promos ahead.

  • 150 base or TC? Sounds like you’d come in as Associate which is good for your YOE. I also think that’s a great offer...I’d be surprised if they gave you a cent more...maybe you could negotiate a nice sign on. You won’t make that anywhere else in consulting even with that clearance with 5 YOE so if that’s 150 base then I’d take it.
