Low tc

Riverbed Technology dagdaubab OP Sep 12, 2019

Is it low for this level or for my yoe?

Yoe. If no other option take it and still look for opportunities higher up

Adobe Pieceful Sep 12, 2019

Base is good. Low rsu

VMware algos Sep 12, 2019

For MTS-3 that's typically the base and rsu. I would say you are on higher end on the base.

VMware hsuhshs Sep 12, 2019

For MTS 3 yes, for yoe no

VMware hsuhshs Sep 12, 2019

I would say this is higher end for MTS 3

RSU is standard but get a competing offer and negotiate it up. They're losing a lot of folks to FANG and unicorns so they will pony up the extra money if they think they'll lose you

No chose another offer. Got screwed. RFE.

Hey OP did VMware negotiate when you went with a competing offer ??

Riverbed Technology ydhnnana Oct 23, 2019

This offer is after negotiation. Initial offer was 15k less and no sign on
