8 year expr .. Good offer.. Sr Manager position.. Bad offer

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

How much do Sr. Managers make? and what is a fair compensation?

Eigen hprem995 Oct 10, 2019

500+ but with your low expr. I think you shouldnt be greedy

OP- it is a good offer for a senior manager. Also do not forget that on your first anniversary you will get refreshers which most people get unless their performance is bad

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

How much are the refreshes? Are they at least 25% of the initial grant?

Splunk it’snotme Oct 10, 2019

There is no rule of thumb. It all varies. but I would say on average at least a year ago we were getting anywhere from 20 to 25%.

Make your intentions clear to your manager. Find a mentor and a sponsor who can help you navigate.

Nice offer OP. Congrats. What was the process like?

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

Thank you! Had a great experience with the Splunk recruiters and the leadership team. Everyone were very prompt in responses and keeping me updated every step of the way. Had a phone screening with HM, two on-sites followed by another call with HM. Took around 3 weeks.

What was the nature of system design questions? And was there a coding round?

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

Medium scale difficulty on scaling for system design. No coding as it should be for leadership roles. They got it right.

Publicis Sapient LCdebugger Oct 10, 2019

Would you says Grokking system design level knowledge suffices?

Salesforce slllfofh0 Oct 10, 2019

No signing bonus?

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

No. They didn't entertain.

Salesforce slllfofh0 Oct 10, 2019

Solid offer. Take it. It’s P5.

Actually pretty decent, the word senior means so many different things for different people. Do you manage managers though?

VMware mPoo07 OP Oct 10, 2019

I wouldn't know until I join.

Dropbox shdyebx Oct 10, 2019

what? That is weird. They are still team matching you?

If you dont know, then probably not
