What would be a reasonable number to ask for if I accept a SE position at RedHat in the Boston area? Also, should I ask for stock options?
180k total compensation
Assuming you're not coming in as an associate se, aim for 95-105. Stock options - worst they can do is say no.
100k
How much they offered??
250K
250k TC can be achieved if it is a principal sw engineer in Boston. I don't think red hat pays that much for a senior role in Boston.
LOL, WordPPT, is your group hiring?
