uodated post with poll: https://us.teamblind.com/s/ZZQuymnz —————————- Hey Blind community. I wanted to get your input on which offers you’d pick, and also how to navigate compensation for the following verbal offers: Google - L4 - GCP - (Sunmyvale, CA) Amazon - L4 - Performance Ad (Seattle, WA) Microsoft - Azure - (Redmond, WA) DoorDash - (Mountain View, CA) Oracle - OCI - (South Bay, CA) I have 2 yoe. In terms of level, just know Amazon level is SD1 (L4). None of these offers have compensation details yet and they’ve asked me for my expected comp. Should I simply not give my comp expectation and ask all of them to give me their own comp package first and negotiate from there? Or should I share with them an expected comp and if so what comp range (strategically) would you suggest I share for my 2yoe (base and/or tc wise)? If there’s any other breakdown on how to approach this (maybe start with getting comp from least preference and build from there) also interested. I don’t have experience navigating such a situation so advise, especially comp expectations to keep in mind, is greatly appreciated. If there’s interest or value to anyone in sharing specific teams I can also do that. I’ll update post with any comp details + any new offers as they come in.
Ask for ranges in each of the companies. They should tell you now and maybe where they’re targeting you as. One recruiter shared this. I used this number (pretty high in that band) to negotiate at another company. They beat that target comp. Then I went back to first with offer details. And they beat that. I tried negotiating with a third company but they’re not playing ball (lower level).
Ask yourself what TC you deserve. Bump it up by 25% and tell them.
That would come to $10K
Can you share amazon numbers ?
Happy to talk about DoorDash with you if you wish, just PM
Congratulations:) Did you get any numbers dude?
