Always
Always negotiate. Ask nicely, worst case they say no. Helps if you have other offers.
You should never negotiate. Finance is a world of rigid numbers and ironclad evaluations. Everything is determined with an exact formula derived from first principles in this field.
Assuming that stock is $15k/year and not over 4 years and this is in USD...still Ouch... Not sure if bad offer or just non-US, but non-tech 61 should be in the $130k+ USD range at least
This is in Seattle. How much do you do you think I should negotiate for?
Get salary to $100-110k, stock is fine, signing could be $40k+. That's gets overall TC (ignoring one time signing) to $125-136k range. If you have leverage and they want you, could negotiate for L62 also which pushes TC to $150k range.
No 🙄
