Joe Tech Job Offer

Robust Routers seeks to extend a job offer to Joe Tech to come on board as an Associate Product Manager for the Terabit Router Group. Having interned at Robust Routers the previous summer, Joe Tech was familiar with the company and the advanced work it has accomplished in the technology industry within the last decade. His experience of working alongside Leigh Bultema, one of RR’s brightest workers, aided not only in a job being offered to him after his internship, but more importantly that of his hard work with Leigh resulting in receiving an order from one of RR’s largest customers for its new terabit router, Horizon Communications. This accomplishment comes at a perfect time for Joe’s efforts to be noticed and praised considering that the technology industry has been experiencing a slump in its share prices, thus making this tremendous sale a positive thing to look forward to for RR.

Considering that RR was able to secure a large from its best customer largely in part due to efforts by Leigh Bultema’s team, a team to which Joe was a part of, Joe should negotiate an annual salary of $95,000 while keeping the $15,000 signing bonus already outlined in the offer letter. The reason for this is that Joe was able to showcase his ability to work hard and achieve the company’s strategies and initiatives as an intern in the short amount of time that he was allotted. Leaving this on the table for consideration, it’s highly like that Joe will continue to excel at the level of a full-time employee and meet more goals that will be set before him by the company. In addition to the benefits listed in the offer letter, it would be preferred to also have listed the frequency in which performance reviews will be conducted. This is important
