In before TDLR;
so here is a little background:
- Been with the company for 15 years and have grown from an entry level analyst into a Director.
- I have been relocated 3 times by my company each with a slight promotion attached. My current relocation we had a slight negotiation on salary but I ended up caving to grow my career.
- After 2 years I have help the company begin to turn around and improve process. Since I have been here 3 directors and the GM have been let go and I continue to receive high performance reviews.
- I signed up thinking 3-4 years here so I am getting closer to thinking about returning home.
- There is some family pressure to get back to Texas
I recently had a company reach out to me asking for an interview. After talking to the HR about the position she asked about total compensation. She thought I was going to be outside the range, but still wanted to present me to the hiring manager. Fast forward 3+ interviews later, the last one in which they flew to the middle of Mississippi to meet me, an offer is coming Tuesday. It does not sound like it will be a huge increase versus what I make currently, but it will relo us back to the D/FW area.
The discussion I want to have is around the following
1. My near future - . When are they thinking about moving me back to Texas. (This was the plan all along, time was TBD)
2. Executive Leadership Team - With all the turnover several director roles are still not filled and work being down is by me. What does the future of the team look like and what should my role be doing.
3. Compensation - Based on data I have acquired from recruiters reaching out to me, it appears my skill set is in great demand in the marketplace currently. I believe based on the improvement I have made to the business unit over the past 2 years (examples given) I have proven without a doubt that I am a valuable piece to this business unit.
Comp ask with be x.x% increase in base, bump from Director B to Director A which comes higher bonus payout % and increase in SAR's and RSU's.
I am leaning towards doing it as soon as possible as my ask it going to have to be run up the chain for approval and it will take a while. I am afraid to wait until the offer as either way I do not think I could have an answer back by the time I need to accept or decline the potential offer.
or
Should I wait until I have an offer that I am willing to accept before I have this discussion.
I am trying to avoid accepting an offer and finding out later my current company wants me to stay and is willing to acquiesce to my request. I think I can probably buy a week with the new offer, I'll look at the offer for 48 hours, ask for a few additional perks and hopefully that will buy another day or two.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
