Bloomberg Offer

I received an offer from Bloomberg for Software Engineer. Got 135k base +15k bonus. Is there any room for negotiation?. If yes, how much should I be negotiating?. I have 2 years of experience in India, and 9+ months of experience in United States. I also have a Master's degree.

Always negotiate. It’s a good offer for NYC though.

Yeah there is, New FSDs with bachelor's are getting higher than that. Get some other offers and try to talk to the recruiters?

I don't have other offers yet. How much does new FSDs get ?

Note that if you live in NYC you pay extra 4.5% city tax

That's standard new grad, should be 10k relo bonus too. I got a 25k signing by bringing up a similar offer

They didn't mention about the sign up bonus. I should ask them. I don't have any other offers other than this at this moment :(

What's your deadline? Try to Apple to other places and tell them you have a deadline to speed it up. The recruiter did not even need to get approval for my 25k bonus and I had a new updated offer letter the next day so it seems it's standard to toss it at anyone with a competing offer.

It's a good offer

If you have another offer with higher tc, they will try to match. Otherwise this is a standard offer for 2019 new grad.
