I wanted to evaluate an offer for a Data Scientist role in Facebook with 5 years of experience after Phd. 160 base, 15% bonus, 200 RSU over 4 years. What is the maximum TC I can negotiate?

Do you have any competing offers?

IBM apache123 OP May 12, 2018

Yes, from Apple but pretty similar.

Facebook Ghudtjgbhg May 12, 2018

You have room on both base and RSUs. The bonus is locked in based on your level and it’s unlikely that our level is negotiable

That seems like ds analytics; that team/role is not challenging for a PhD graduate, try ds infra or core ds for more technical/ research based data science role (and they both pay more)

Seems low for a PhD with 5 years experience. Both RSU and base. Where did you do your PhD from?

IBM apache123 OP May 13, 2018

Purdue. Any reasonable numbers you suggest?

You have more room on base for sure

Warning SQL, Python, R. Product Analysis. Unless you are joining as Research Scientist.

Huh? most of the research scientists I work with use sql, r, and python. What’s the warning?

FINRA mlnyc Jun 5, 2018

Sorry, I meant less machine learning. Even research scientist use these but they quite often use or improve the machine learning algorithms.
