I’ve heard from friends that Oracle has been poaching from Amazon with competitive salaries. Obviously, I work at a no-name company. Can I expect a competitive offer since I’m not coming from a big name company? I was hoping to hit at least 200k total comp (base + RSU + bonus) and also get a nice signing bonus. Some of my friends tell me 200k is chump change in Seattle though. One of my friends at FB says I should ask for at least 270 total. That seems like a lot... I just got the offer today and haven’t discussed comp with the recruiter yet, so wondering what I should ask for. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I absolutely crushed the interview.
You can easily get 280k. Check the other threads and you will know
It’s only if you are directly from amzn aws or ms azure, as far as I saw, but worth to try 280k.
Yeah that’s I was thinking too. Hopefully will have some higher offers to push it up
Total comp in Seattle should really be above 200k. If not, RUN (don't walk) away.
Haha, noted.
200k is not chump even in Seattle. That being said, your base and RSU will be at least 200k. If you don’t have nice competing offer don’t expect much for sign-on a lot. Anyway, congratulations.
Agreed. I have a decent competing offer (low 200s) but hopefully they’ll at least beat that. Thanks dude
