Offer Negotiation

Hi Monkeys, just wondering if anyone has gone through offer negotiations post IB? Currently received an offer for a Corporate Development role, Associate Manager level. Negotiating on the offer and HR sort of moving very slow with the process, not so responsive. Not sure if any of you here can provide some tips.

Timeline:

Sept 29th- offer call in the evening

Oct 1st- HR called again proving more detail to the compensation structure. I negotiated back asking for flexibility.

Oct 5th- I followed up, HR responded that he haven't heard back from the Director.

Oct 8th- I followed up again on whether if I can have the written offer with the current terms while the sign-on amount is pending. I'm planning to join and need to plan my notice period. (Long weekend for Canada this week)

Corporate Finance 7 Stories Review

“Raphael was once again great, we worked on TMAY and 4 stories dillgently. He helped me restructure my stories and gave me good points of improvement. Given that I am not the typical student looking to break into finance there is a learning curve that Raphael is helping me navigate well. I left this chat with more information to improve and honestly motivated once again to continue. This is the second time I book a meeting with Raphael and I will continue to book more meeting with him in the near future. ”

Together, he helped built a clear, realistic plan for my next steps moving forward. Beyond the strategic guidance, he made the conversation very engaging, enjoyable, and fun while offering valuable long-term mentorship insights. I feel much more confident about my professional direction and am extremely grateful for his thoughtful support!”
