Austin offer
Considering an L2 offer from Indeed, I’m feeling lowballed. Offer base is the same as my current base and my current perf bonus is flat 20k, houses here are 30% cheaper than Austin. The offer: Base - $120k Anniversary bonus - 13% Perf Bonus - 13% Sign on - $15k Offer TC - $151.2k Relo benefits offered but I dont consider relevant Current TC - $140k YoE - 7 LC - 30 Am I crazy thinking there’s no upside? I like the company culture but I wasn’t expecting this, maybe I am a crummy interviewee :/
Having lived in Austin, if you're coming from any other TX city, do not move unless you're getting at least a 20% pay bump. Otherwise you won't be able to maintain your current QoL.
Same thing happened with me at F5 Networks. Rejected it. It's a red alert. Think what will happen in there internal hikes if they are low balling now itself.
SDE?
Yes
Nope. That's low. Ask for 20% over current, and be prepared to walk away.
I received an L2 offer from them for around ~200k TC. I think that's close to where it tops out.
You didn't mention what position
Indeed Austin lowballs unless your have other offers
Don’t change job for such a low increase in TC. You will get frustrated after sometime.
