[QUOTE="Gus Petch, post: 3961378, member: 5452"] That was my understanding. The grade I've been offered encompasses and exceeds my present salary by a bit, but the step they offered is around $20K a year less than what I presently earn. I asked during the interview about negotiating an acceptable step and the hiring manager indicated that something could be worked out based on my years of experience, professional licensure, etc. The person from the staffing office contacted me later to extend the tentative offer and I indicated that I would need more money. I was advised to submit my most three recent pay stubs as well as justifications and this would be handed off to management to begin the process of making a different offer. I spoke to the person from the staffing office the next day and was told to "wait and relax." Now I'm in the anxiety phase. How long does this usually take? Does the agency make an honest effort to try and at least match what you're presently earning? [/QUOTE]
