Hi all,
This sub has recently inspired me to take my experience out into the market and see if I can get a higher paying wage with a different company.
Well, good news! It worked. I got a good offer with a 30% increase in my salary, but I am still evaluating different options and still interviewing. This might be a terrible analogy but I don't want to go to the dance with the first boy that asks me out. I want to find the right one. This offer is good but I think I have better options out there, and quite frankly I want to give my current employer an opportunity to respond with a counter offer, or I just want to wait to see how they'll respond out of curiosity.
The offering company has given me 3 days to respond. I said, I need more time, and they told me to accept it and if something changes we can work that later. I don't feel comfortable doing this. What are your opinions on this? Also any tips on negotiating higher relocation or other bits with switching companies?
