I am wondering what compensation is like for EAs/ABPs at tech companies (facebook, google, twitter) for 3-5 years of experience? Upon getting a job offer, is it ok to negotiate? Do they ever give sign on bonuses? Thanks!!
Bonus is they can have any engineer they want. Catch is they wouldn't want any.
Tech startups can range wildly, but personally I’ve seen $85-95k for 3-5 years exp in LA and $100-125k in SF for base comp and mostly no overtime. They also give a small amount of equity. But all negotiable. Definitely negotiate. I haven’t seen sign on bonuses for the years of exp, but at 10+ years, yes. Not sure about the FB or GOOG type companies. They tend to have other benefits that startups can’t match
Thanks for the info!
Ask Groupe Insearch for their 2020 Q4 salary guide Things to ask for/levers to pul if CLevel EA: 1. Sign on bonus (though I prefer an increase in base as sign on is one time vs recurring) 2. Stock, options, or RSUs equivalent to VP level role - are they one time or refreshed annually? 3. Bonus 20%++ 4. Access to training and development and/or your exec's coach 5. Severance agreement after a certain period of time (3 years?) in the event your exec leaves and you're terminated These are bold asks, yet EAs have asked for and successfully received.
Hmmm! I would love to know as well. Great question, Hess.
