Company 1: storage company focusing on cloud. base : $180k stocks: $175k/4 years no bonus structure, no 401k. Company 2: Cloud storage. Base : $183k stocks: $250k/4 years, 10k sign-on bonus, 10% target bonus, 401k match. I really like the team at company 1 but the recruiter is low balling me. How should I negotiate? 5.5 years of distributed systems experience. I haven’t interviewed with FANG yet. Planning to interview with them in few weeks.
Forget these and join FB or google
When i saw storage company for #1 i thought its Public Storage. Lol
Is money that important? You can hardly buy a house in the bay area with offer 2. If you want $$$ go to FANG.
Agree
No 401k match is a bit of a bummer, but still worth going with the co that feels like the better fit. In my experience, being candid with the recruiter that you'd like to accept their offer and directly asking if they can match it usually works. If it didn't, get creative - can they give you more vacation days, etc?
I never understand this logic... After spending weeks convincing the company that you are hardworking, dedicated and committed to the job, and then in negotiating you turn around and say, can I have more vacation? I mean, doesn't it feel contradictory?? If I want more money, then that's what I want. I can't pay my mortgage with extra vacation
Which companies are these, would like to know their names
wait it is 175k per year or 4 years in totoal ?
I bet Company 1 is Box. No bonus, no 401k... Regardless, tell Company 1 about the other offer and ask them to do $200k + $250k/4 years to "match." Then, after they agree, tell Company 2 to bump their base to $200k to match Company 1. Then pick the best company.
;) That’s a good approach but I’m a little skeptical they’d do $200k someone with just 5.5 years experience. Do you think Box would do that? What would be my TC?

Lol. I mean those are the numbers after I mentioned about my offer from company 2.
Thanks. How much does Airbnb pay for someone with 5.5 years experience? I have scheduled on site interviews with them.
