How much to counter for this in-house offer: $285k base, $57k bonus, $23k 401k?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 5th, 2025 8:27 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio The posted salary range in the job listing was $270k-$360k base.
I was offered: $285k base $57k bonus (i.e. 20%) $23k 401k (i.e. 8% match)
How much should I counter for? I'm thinking:
$315k base $63k bonus (i.e. sticking with 20%) $25k 401k (i.e. sticking with 8% match--I don't think this is negotiable) $30k signing bonus |

I would also ask about base increases. Lockstep annually based on %? Discretionary? |

Date: May 7th, 2025 1:33 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio Just do ask for an extra $100k in bonus money. You're on thin ice as the job seeker. E.g., see the post below from the guy who said he pulled an offer from a candidate who wanted too much. That's not uncommon. They'll have no qualms moving onto the next guy if it looks like I'll be trouble. So, I asked for a bump, but I'm trying to be reasonable.

The most an employer and employee can contribute together for 2025 is $70,000 if the employee is under 50 or $77,500 if the employee is 50 or older. Subtracting the maximum employee contribution limit for 2024 gives us $46,500 if the employee is under 50 or $54,000 if the employee is 50 or older. That's the most the employer can contribute to a 401(k) account and the employer can't contribute more than the employee's salary."

Date: May 7th, 2025 12:51 AM Author: arrogant base Hmm interesting. I’ve always heard (like directly from recruiters at big companies) that the cover letter was critical to get past the term search automation. But I haven’t actually tried your method, and though I tend to get responses at a pretty high rate, I often let a posting sit for a week or so while I get around to writing the cover letter. Thinking I should try out your method and see what unfolds. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5720867&forum_id=2:#48910106) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 8:46 PM Author: Confused sandwich Seems like a good counter. Many in-house roles are very stingy on base pay raises and push it more towards bonus as you get more senior. At my company, someone with that salary would be getting a 40% bonus, so you may want to push for more there.
IDK if they can go to 8% on 401(k). 6% is usually the highpoint and it may be something set plan-wide. But it's worth an ask. If they can't give you that, ask for more RSUs but they are pretty shitty IMO unless they vest relatively quickly. (Mine vest in equal tranches over 4 years which is very lame.) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 8:50 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio Thanks. Yes, my goal is to push the base up as much as possible. I'd much rather have an additional dollar in base than an additional dollar in bonus, especially to start out with as it will set that level for the duration of my tenure.
Do you think I should ask for more than $315k? That's "only" the middle of their posted range. I want to maximize the base, but I don't want to ask for so much that they don't enggage.
They already offered an 8% 401k match. I think it's standard for them for the level of this role. |

|
Date: May 5th, 2025 8:58 PM Author: Confused sandwich It depends what the middle of the range represents. At my company, it's the "mid-range point," and it represents what someone in the middle of their tenure in that role would be earning. For internal hires that would be a promotion, it would be hard to get that, and you usually and up starting somewhere about 20-30% above the lowest end. If you are making a lateral move from outside, you should ask for slightly above the mid-range. I would ask for $315 but accept $300 which is what I imagine they have in mind. But they really hate paying in-house counsel high base salaries for whatever reason. (At my company, you are basically capped at however much you make when you cross 250K in base salary, but we get much larger bonuses.)

|
Date: May 5th, 2025 9:16 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio It's really tough to know from the outside. My impression from doing several interviews with different companies seems to be that the posted range is more or less meaningless and/or they target offering an amount well below the midpoint of the "range." I did several interviews where the range was, e.g., $200-$300 base, then they would say they expected to offer $210-$220 as the base.
For this one, it would be great to get above $300 base, but I don't want to overplay my hand. |

The fact there’s no stock is weird, but maybe that’s how they are (or not a public company?).
You can ask for another $20k on salary and maybe you’d get $10. Asking for $30k more is a bit off putting. But do it if you want. Downside is that if they hire you, they may be thinking that you’re gonna be a squeaky wheel and you may start off on the wrong foot in your boss’s eyes.
Asking for a signing bonus is fine.
Asking for the higher bonus and 401(k) matches weird. The 401(k) match may be standardize the company and nobody thinks about that anyways. And the bonus is like a chump change in terms of what you’re asking them to add so I don’t know why you would bother. |

|
Date: May 5th, 2025 9:35 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio Do you really see asking for $30k more as off putting? Negotiating salary is basically expected. $30k here is only 10% more and would only take me to the middle of the posted range. I'm leaning toward asking for a bit more than that, hoping to land at $25k above what they offered.
I'm thinking it won't ask for higher bonus or 401k percentages (and i think the 401k percentage is set in stone). Because those are percentages of the base, they'll scale up with an increase in base. |

You’re probably fine to make a small counter, but don’t come off as a pain in the ass.

|
Date: May 6th, 2025 9:45 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio It's a tough game to play. I countered for about 12% more, to get to the midpoint of the posted base for the job, plus a signing bonus. That seems reasonable. We'll see what unfolds.
The stories of people getting offers pulled are rough. Some negotiation is almost expected. |

|
Date: May 6th, 2025 10:38 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio Thank. Will do. Two interesting bits from my discussion with the recruiter about this.
(1) She said the GC already approved the offer, he'll need to approve any changes, and he's unlikely to do so. Not sure if her saying that is a negotiation tactic or what.
(2) She said they reconsider salaries annually, and this year, someone with strong positive reviews could have received a 4% raise. To me, that said you better get your base as high as you can now, because it's not going up much from here. I already knew that was likely the case, but it was interesting to hear her say it.

And at this place, AGC is a pretty senior title. There aren't many attorneys above it. So, a promotion might be unlikely. That said, it seems like a good place to work and it's a solid offer. I hope they'll offer a little more and I can join. |

I think it’s less of an issue of asking for 20 or 30 more v what you do when they counter with 5k more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5720867&forum_id=2:#48910110) |

Date: May 6th, 2025 10:32 PM Author: Aphrodisiac half-breed i never know how to play this stuff but i hope you'll tell us how it goes. fwiw i'd ask for $20k base and be happy with $10. i also think it could be a good angle to ask for a higher target bonus percentage - noting that it's discretionary - because you are signaling that you are confident in your ability to knock it out of the park. but i'd pick one or the other, wouldn't ask for both. i do think the risk is nonzero that an offer gets pulled if you counter too hard (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5720867&forum_id=2:#48909817) |

Date: May 6th, 2025 10:46 PM Author: Orchid irate theater digit ratio I asked for $30k more, to get to the midpoint of the posted range. It seemed fair and only about 12% over the initial offer. I tried to do it tactfully.
The best negotiating tactic is signaling that you're willing to walk away. You can't really do that too strongly here because they surely have many other qualified candidates who would be quite happy to take the offer you're saying you'll walk away from.
There is a certain type of person who would enjoy this. For me, it's a pain, and I'll be glad when it's over. |

Right, because a lawyer with over a decade of knowledge, talent, and relevant experience, should always show obsequious deference when begging for a new job. |

I presume that means they will give me something more, at least a signing bonus. I'm not sure why the GC (of this giant company) needed to weigh in on a request to move a potentially incoming AGC's salary up 11%. |
