I’m looking for some quick negotiation strategy.
I just received a formal offer for a Level 3 Procurement Agent role in the Pacific Northwest.

The Offer: $103,750 base, no sign-on bonus.
The Band: Official corporate range for this code/market is $94,350 – $127,650 (Midpoint is $111,000). The recruiter claims $103,750 is "as high as they can go" for this track.

The Situation: I have 10+ years in procurement and applied to about 25 open reqs. Of those, I landed 5 interviews over the last month. I didn’t land either of the first two roles and have interviewed for three other tracks (same role, different teams/locations) over the last two weeks.

When speaking with the recruiter that extended the offer, I let her know that I had two other active tracks. She said that she’d reach out to the other recruiters and get back to me. I received a call from one of the other recruiters who said that they went with another candidate and have a feeling I’ll hear the same tomorrow from the last open track. The team that presented the offer was first to the finish line and officially triggered the offer in HR, which effectively forced the other internal teams to bow out to avoid an internal bidding war (my opinion).

I also have an active external track for a Purchasing Manager role ($95k–$120k range), but this Boeing role is my preferred target.

Since my current offer sits at roughly the 30th percentile of the actual band, I feel like I'm leaving money on the table for an experienced hire.

Since the recruiter claims she's capped, what’s the best way to structure my counter? Do I push for the midpoint ($111k) or pivot to a sign-on bonus to bridge the gap?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m curious if anyone has had a similar experience with Boeing’s BDS hiring process.

Here’s my timeline:
Final interview was on a Monday.
During the interview, the hiring manager mentioned they had a few more interviews scheduled through Friday.

The following Tuesday, the recruiter texted me asking if I was still interested in the position and whether I was still available. I told him yes.

Two days later, I followed up for a status update, and the recruiter replied, “You are due for an offer. More to follow in details.”

It’s now been about 2 weeks since that message, and I still haven’t received the written offer.
I know large companies can have internal approvals and delays, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

How long did it take to receive your written offer after being told you were getting one?
Did your recruiter give you a verbal heads-up before the official offer?
Is a 2-week wait unusual for Boeing, or is this pretty normal?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I’m a new acquisition to Boeing (spirit employee) and have been looking into getting my degree once we move to the LTP system. Worked the floor for 8 years and got into the salary side (wtpu) as operations support.

About a year ago, I applied for and was offered a higher level role in another org but HR said it wasn’t allowed.

Does Boeing have any odd rules like this? If I get an engineering degree, would it still be a lateral transfer?

Manufacturing Engineer - Puget Sound

I did an internship with Boeing last summer. I had a fantastic time and performed well. I'd love to return fulltime after I graduate in March next year. I was put on ELOA but my team currently does not have capacity to bring me back, and my manager suggested I apply to the intern-to-fulltime job req and hope I get picked by another group.

How does this process usually work? Has anyone here done this with success? What's the success rate of this path? Any experiences/tips would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Anybody else on parental LOA not receive their last paycheck? My paystub has zeros across the board. I submitted a ticket and talked to my manager and nothing has happened and it’s almost two weeks late at this point.

Last time I talked to the help desk they said there were a lot of issues transitioning to the new LOA system but this is rediculous… I feel like the company owes me interest because I have lost money that would have been invested during this time.

Also it’s the end of the month, mortgage is due, my dog is sick and had a $400 vet appt, and I’m still paying hospital bills from labor and delivery. I had to transfer money out of my savings to pay my bills and to avoid overdrafting…

HELP

I just applied to Boeing for a supplier manager position. My application says under consideration, is that a good sign? Will I receive some communication from the recruiter? Should I reach out? Or trust the process?

I am gonna take the jack class this month for the 737 max so what are the most important things i should study to prepare myself and will i be able to take notes on everything , what are the most impotant things i need to know/rember to pass and do this correctly ,

Say someone is a level 2 for 5 years. Is that bad? Also, are they at a high risk of being laid off or fired? Or no? I think I heard maybe the way Boeing operates is the bottom 10% can get laid off but only during layoffs. From my understanding, Boeing doesn't get rid of underperformers very often or people who don't receive promotions. I don't know though.

Could someone be a level 2 for 20+ years and not be laid off?
