Two interviews job offer for Sr. Mech Engineer. Since being laid off i have only applied to 3 position and one of them i have a 2nd interview on monday..
Was just sent a offer on the position to look over this weekend (insurance., 401k, duties and responsibility)
Base salary is $6,000 less than the place i was laid off from but they have 8% yearly bonus and a 12% bonus for Rockstar performance. I most likely will counter with something non monatary .....extra PTO, immediate eligibility for 401k or insurance
