Hey Blind community, I've gotten an offer from Cisco for 2020 as G6. Base: 125k, bonus 5%, relocation 10k. No RSUs or sign on bonus. Is there any room for negotiation? If yes, any tips to negotiate? I'm interviewing with a few other companies, but no other offers yet. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Yeah, try to fish out some RSUs from them. Even a startup would give you an equivalent base salary plus RSUs.
Thanks for the advice, will definitely try!
Damn. Didn't know Cisco give 🥜 like this at Bay Area
Try to get a better company!
You still have time before 2020, grind LeetCode, apply hard, leverage connections, reach out to recruiters.
Will definitely keep at it, thank you so much!
Just ask for RSUs explaining that it's typical for such offers. They have the treasure chest so have them open it.
Correction - It is G6 and not L6. G6 is entry level Masters position, and yes what you got is standard offer for G6
Avoid Cisco
That's just 140k in Bay area annual tc. My offer from Walmart was $120k tc in Arkansas with very low col. And that was straight out of college in 2018.
Bonus is 8% for G6?
Negotiate on RSU or joining bonus. Roughly around 10-20k more depending on BU. Any particular BU?
Thanks will try, BU is SPNS, building 22!
I have seen same base offered to all g6. For SF location it’s 130k. If you have competing offer you can negotiate on RSUs (It’s rare but you can get it). I hvnt seen sign on bonus for g6.
Okay thank you so much! Could you please tell me how much I could ask for in RSUs? Sorry I'm still very new to this.
Try to fish out 75k over 4 yrs!
