Laid off and now getting Low balled

Question

I have just recently been laid off by my company due to cost reduction, and I quickly found some grounding with another similar organisation, but the package the org is offering is way below what I was getting, is there a way to accept this new role, get committed to it for 2 years and possibly bounce back to another role to get my original worth, any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, the market is low balling as there are a bunch of people laid off and the market isn’t as frothy. Just keep your options open if you accept it and jump with the better offer. Always be interviewing and make the best decision for you.

Answer

Yes this is totally an option. You can also try to negotiate it to a what you are getting now.

Answer

Shitty situation... remember, everything is negotiable.

Answer

I'd keep the feelers out and keep looking, Know your worth.

Answer

The market is turning, and it’s not going to come up for air for a bit.  I’d keep interviewing for a bit and try to find the best offer that works for you. Unless your in a financial pinch - then counter the offer this company made, get the most out of them, and take the gig with keeping your eyes open

Answer

Yes, there's a way, and you can also ask for more, based on your value.

Answer

No. Hold your ground and go get more money elsewhere. F that.

Answer

Negotiate, network, and prospect your way into a role.

Answer

Take a job now to get more than Unemployment pays but use it as a paid job search till you find something better.

Answer

In 1 word: YES

Answer

I think it's worth it to get what you can of course, but always put feelers out, even when comfortable. You never know. You're life could change overnight.

Answer

Accept it and keep looking. No problem to get paid now, even if low, then bounce in 2-months when you get what you're looking for.

Answer

Negotiate and take the gig unless you have more options available to you. The market has a ton of sales ppl who were recently laid off so the leverage is on the hiring companies. Just weigh the risks and see what's out there. I've always taken the offer and then kept looking.
