Facebook SWE IC4 - Fremont
Please help me evaluate this FB offer. MS + 3 YOE in a startup on very relevant projects + 3 YOE in an unrelated domain. Base: 143k Sign On: None Bonus: 10% Stocks: 110k/4 years TC: 184k (143 + 14.3 + 110/4) Looking at other offers for IC4/E4 here, this offers seems really low. Am I being lowballed because of startup experience or is it completely related to interview performance? Are IC4 and E4 the same?
So your tc is only 165k?
Just edited the post with TC. It comes out to be ~184k.
No sign on looks weird. You should negotiate for sign on bonus. Do you have any other offers?
I have a verbal offer (from a startup) and a potential offer (just had the onsite round yesterday) Not sure how much I can negotiate...
Hard to counter without other offers. Can try to get more stocks
@ewQj67: Thanks for your thoughts. Do I at least have a chance to negotiate if my current salary is more than that?
You should definitely mention the initial offer is lower than your current comp, but don’t give them the number. Tell them you have other offers(startups or not)as well.
Pretty big low-ball if this is for a standard SWE role.
are you swe?
The base and bonus are fair. The no sign on is off for SWE and I’m not sure about stocks as I’m non-eng. Is the title SWE? Not data eng or something else? Sorry, hard to believe there’s no sign on offered with SWE.
Well, it’s possible. If you would sign the offer. Why not?
FB has an office in Fremont?
