THANKS!!!!!! I am THRILLED!

The company is LARGE - over 20,000 employees, a professional services firm locally based, but with 53 offices in total. 30 years old, so they're established and stable. Great team, great company and I think what will be a great boss!!!

I start in two weeks - so I have nothing to do for two full weeks now except prepare for my job and maybe get out of town.

It’s good to have those weeks to organize everything for starting a new job. Get your clothes situated. Or if you are going to work from home for now, make your second bedroom into a nice office? Could you get your husband to hurry up get his stuff out so you can make that room nice? Two weeks will be a good time for getting ready for a new start.

It"s remote until the early fall. I have an office space already set up at home from my last job. I need to just get out of town and breathe a huge sign of relief!!!!! I no longer have to job search anymore.... five months of unemployment have finally come to an end!!!!

I forgot to mention - I got a 19K salary increase + a 10K bonus structure! WOW oh WOWEEEEEEE!!!!!! So IF i earn that bonus, it's nearly a 30K salary increase from my last position!

That’s an excellent raise!!! Awesome

One time I got 11k increase offer but I felt bad leaving my employment so I am like “I am not sure”, they said what they’ll pay and I was like “when do I start” lol

for 30k increase I’d move to Timbuktu tomorrow . Hahah it’s so great!

Sometimes we don’t even know how much more some place might pay because work places don’t advertise. My husband had to find a new job in the fall because he had to have surgery and his surgeon wouldn’t release him to the old job after it.

So he got an offer at a new place and we were actually prepared for pay cut, well no big deal. In reality they offered 20k more. Same job pretty much. He thought he heard it wrong. “You pay what???” Isn’t it something? Nice surprise!

That’s great!!!! Congrats

Thanks!!!!

yeah they even offered me a base of 3K higher than the high end of my quoted salary range! The internal recruiter went to bat for me and raised it by 3K. It's in fact 8K higher than I thought they would offer without the bonus - but with the bonus? 30K higher than last position? Holy moly!!!!!! I am beyond ecstatic!
