Client comments on how SET services resulted in an excellent employment opportunity in California. 1169

Reese J Now $105,000-plus Lead Software QA Analyst in Northern California for Software Firm-Credits Campaign Manager Sue S With Negotiation Guidance Leading to Higher Compensation

Title: Lead Software Quality Assurance Analyst
Field/Industry: Software Firm
Location:California
Compensation: $105,000 base plus 2,500 options

Reporting to the Senior QA Manager, Reese will manage a distributed team of fulltime and contract resources responsible for testing commercially available software that operates on IBM mainframe platforms. He is pleased with his choice:

"It's excellent for several reasons. This is an established company with a growing client base. The compensation package is competitive and the other benefits are better than typically offered in consulting firms. The position is focused on software quality. And the position is outside of the consulting industry, important for me."

Reese paid a special compliment to his Campaign Manager Sue S for her guidance on negotiations:

"I would have probably accepted the position at a lower level of compensation than I was able to negotiate. I believe the insight provided by Sue was quite helpful in this regard and resulted in a significantly higher starting salary."

Reese also noted the helpfulness of the communication strategy, the recommendations for handling issues that concerned him, strategies for interviewing, the Universal resume, use of the website, and ongoing services from his SET team.
