Seems good for 61. Did you have competing offers?

Cerner frogmetal OP Nov 1, 2019

Yes I have a competing offer with a little higher TC but leaning towards Microsoft.

CB Insights Ghwc22 Nov 1, 2019

Average over 4 years comes out to almost $200k. Which is 25k+ above levels.fyi average for L61 So I don't think there's a lot more room. I recently got an L62 offer that was around $220k. Had multiple competing FAANG offers.

Not a great offer but definitely much better than your current TC.

Cerner frogmetal OP Nov 1, 2019

Which part of the offer is not great?

Microsoft fisker Nov 1, 2019

Stock. But this is very good for Microsoft. I meant compared to FAANG this is not great.

Didn’t they provide any relocation ?

Cerner frogmetal OP Nov 1, 2019

Yes they gave 2 options. One, a lump sum of 6k. Second, they will move everything for you, book your travel and provide first month housing plus an additional 2k in your pocket.

Lump sum should be 13.5 k + tax

Cerner frogmetal OP Nov 1, 2019

Nice, congratulations. Are you going to take it?

Northrop Grumman sad-panda Nov 1, 2019

I'll be taking it. Depends if my other offers beats this.

@Op. Looks like a great offer, especially the level for 3 yoe.
