What if he's coming from Albertsons?

Pivotal vhSY35 OP Jul 18, 2019

Not Bay Area. North America though.

Salesforce yymG87 Jul 18, 2019

If it’s not in the Bay Area then it is decent

It looks like it is IC4.

Atlanta?

Sooper low ball offer. Don’t take it. Keep shopping

As long as it’s not Seattle or New York, it’s a great offer. Probably Atlanta or Canada I assume

Square jaxe Jul 19, 2019

Square isn’t the best when it comes to sign on. If location is Atlanta definitely take it. Otherwise, it’s up to you, it’s probably the best company I’ve worked for (Amazon’s and Microsoft being the others) but I have 2.5 YOE so up to you how much you want to believe me.

That looks like an ic4 offer. You should be able to negotiate a higher rsu amount but the base is probably as good as it gets. 6yoe and ic4 seems off too. That should be in ic5 range. I would push for ic5 (if you think you're qualified) and more rsus

Pivotal vhSY35 OP Jul 20, 2019

What makes you qualified for ic5? As in, what are the requirements that you have to fulfill?

Square konkeydong Jul 20, 2019

Oh NVM, not in bay area. Which location?
