Cruise compensation question.
I interviewed and found out I did very well for a senior position at Cruise, Seattle location. If the recruiter is asking for desired compensation, what should I say? Currently 6.5 YOE
See you in 2 years!
Give them a base number that would make you jump ship, then add 15-20% to that so there is room for negotiation.
I got (and rejected) an offer from them recently. Only one tip, don't set your sights low. Shoot for 330k cash at least.
I have seen 300k cash base + yearly bonus. And 100k yearly equity. This is for senior role
I think senior could go up to 450k max
Yes, @cruisecomp is right, this is for senior role in Seattle location.
Seeing the offers here make me wish I negociated better. I have never seen 300k for base though. I have seen 300+ for base and bonus. Oh well...
They are talking about base+bonus together. I have not seen 300k base, that would be crazy
No above seem to talk about base alone of 300k for senior. Which at Cruise means 2yoe
Senior base from 190k to 250k. Definitely not 300k
I thin cruisecomp meant base + bonus ~ 300k yearly not base ~ 300k

Don’t say.
How would you politely reply then?
Something like, “I don’t have a particular number in mind but I would like to see what you have to offer.” If they insist say, “I really don’t have a particular number in mind but I’m willing to explore any package that is competitive to the market and looks good based on the data you have on me”. If they push even further, say, “Avg salary in blah area is $XK so that would be a good starting point.”
