Please evaluate my offer. Base: 120k Sign On: 5k RSU: 2200 Location: Burlington, MA Position: IC-1 Current TC: 120k YoE: 2 in India, 6 months US MS Computer Science, 2019 graduate Is IC-1 lowball after 2.5 yoe and MS? I saw some posts where people getting IC-1 right after BS.
Ask for a bigger sign on and more RSU. It's a solid offer already! Congrats!
Isn't IC 1 lowball? IC 2 average TC is 167k. Infact there is no notion of IC -1 on levels.fyi and most people on Blind posted about IC 2.
Is IC1 same as SDE1?
Are there OCI teams in MA?
Some teams are in MA too. According to levels.fyi, SDE-1 is IC-2. I see a lot of new grads getting IC 2 so I think this is a lowball offer.
IC1 is even lower than SDE1??
I see other OCI posts with people 2+ yoe before MS getting IC 3.
Indian exp is almost useless specially first 2-3 years. If I have to count it, almost all my candidates will fail the interview as they will be evaluated at higher level.
Probably your interview didn't go well.
Pretty strong for area/foreigner
