Competing offers from Google, Facebook and Amazon

Lined up interviews well, and managed to pass all three. All recruiters replied on the same week and used similar lingo (did they go to training at the same place? Lol) "We are very excited to extend you an offer, I'll be reaching to the compensation committee, but before we start do you have any compensation expectations?" How to navigate that situation?

Look up salary range for the expected level and ask for max - 10%

Do you have a preference? If so use the highest competing offer from the other two to get the best offer from preferred company.

Microsoft msafet OP Jul 16, 2019

Light preference, but everything is game depending on the comp package, considering that all 3 are good places IMO

Well, that’s debatable. Use Amazon’s as leverage to raise the offers from G and FB and then take the best one from those 2.

Amazon ayyyyyyyy Jul 16, 2019

What’s the level and yoe? Current TC?
