Figured I would ask here since a lot of you are way more advanced career-wise than myself, and have likely been in a similar situation.
Long story short I received a job offer from another company. I interviewed for the position and it all went well. We sorted out start date, compensation, etc. They called me a few days ago to say that they wanted to offer me the position, and in fact they felt I was overqualified for the position and asked if I would like to interview for another position.
Interview for this position went great too, and they will be calling in the next day or so. As I feel the new role requires a lot more expertise and responsibility, my salary expectation is higher than it was for the original position. The job title of each role was not much different, but the original one was just a technical position, while the new one is a systems admin/technical management position.
I’m unsure of how to best address this when I talk with them next.
