Since folks are receiving and accepting offers, I was hoping people might be willing to share how the market looks financially this year.

Offer could have been better considering the cost of living - but it works and its better than no job.

Specifics - you got a lot better than me. I'm jealous. However i don't feel comfortable sharing details sorry. However my package is better than the assistant prof people already there. You can't jump off out of their league unless maybe you are an all-star.

Thanks to people who have shared! So far, we've heard from those who have received offers from R1s. Would anyone be willing to share details of offers from teaching-oriented schools and/or liberal arts colleges?

A senior faculty member shared that at an elite private R1, in a city with low cost of living, the salary for the person they hired (assistant prof level) this year was 90K!!! Don't know about any other specifics. The source is extremely reliable. Wow, congrats!
