I got lucky with RSU price and will be getting 500k+ in the next 2 years. I will be negotiating with a couple of FANG companies for relocation to Bay area. Considering the CA state tax and higher living cost, what should be the minimum for folks here to accept in this situation? Thanks in advance.
Why negotiate for 500k when you can negotiate for 2000k?
At least 30%. I lived in BA for a few years and moved to Seattle. Gosh, it’s so much better here.
1.2 million per year is good for move otherwise stay in Seattle for 500 K
Just read similar thread for reference: https://us.teamblind.com/s/TPMGMbQx Looks like 40% give or take for a family of three
Lol, yeah. Ask for 40% more and let us know how it goes.
500k+ is terrific comp for seattle. i would recommend to stay there if you are comfortable. ~8-9% state tax (and remember with new rule you cant detect more than 10k of state + property tax if u have one) and housing and other expenses. don’t know your level so not sure how much more you can ask for.
Ain’t going to happen. Stay in Seattle.
Just because you got lucky with RSU prices do not mean another company will pay well out of band to hire you unless you meet a critical need. It’s entirely possible none will be able to even match depending on your level. From a cost perspective, ~30-35% more than Seattle
Right, I don’t take it for granted. It is a matter of would I take less moving to one of the FANG now even though opportunity seems to be better in bay area and for this particular role.
if you are okie with taking less then you may have more options. but why? i would rather switch teams in Amazon (to high performing/challenging team) if u still insist on bay area y don’t u switch to Amazon bay area? (assuming you will keep your stocks). don’t fall for this cutting-edge technology/fast paced growth/opportunity etc - it doesn’t makes sense if you are losing money !! (unless you really want to learn and prove something) - again i would say there are lot of ways to learn than working for a company. believe me 500k is top notch in bay area itself you are getting that in seattle - just enjoy it😊
Thanks for the input everyone, will revert back on how my negotiation goes.
