I have an offer for a Data Scientist role from a fintech startup based of Sf. Company is yet to go public but has a lot of potential and its been around for close to 8yrs now. After negotiation below are some figures, what does blind community think? Is it good? Base-140k Rsu-3k Bonus-17.5% yoy Tc-165k I am also waiting for an offer from another company in the last round of interviews.
What is your level of experience? That’s pretty crappy TC for an experienced data scientist in SF. Your base and RSU is trash. And no sign-on bonus? 👎
I have a total of 3yrs exp but abt 1.5yrs of data scientist exp. they dont offer sign on bonus in the mkt department i heard.
Similar experience and I'm around 10% lower in Seattle. What's your education? I find that matters more for data science than eg SWE.
What's your major in? Is it more ML related job or analytics based?
MIS with analytics as the concentration. Its a combination of both
It's not too bad, is 17% fixed or variable bonus based on performance? If it was core ML job, I would expect overall TC to be close to 200K. Also what is the vesting schedule? What was the intial offer, it seems you already negotiated.
Base is not too bad. Could get $10K-$15K more... if you want more than that... go to top tier companies. The RSUs are very low... bonus is ok
Wait... you are getting 3000 stock units or $3K worth of RSUs?
3000 stock units
It's meh.... Compared to FAANG which gets $200-250k for Senior at the low end... Prob ok for a tier 2 company. Would shoot for $180-200k TC.
I am waiting on another offer to leverage that for incremental! But i am liking the potential for this company so would try to shoot for more
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but it's quite uncommon for Tier 2 companies to hit decent TC. I can tell you my tier 2 offers were $170-180k and they couldn't go higher. Even with competing offers
It’s a good comp
