I’ve received an offer from Twitter today for SWE II. Base: $150,000 Bonus: 15% Stock: 8000 units (about $226,000) over 4yrs TC is then about $229,000/year I have 1.5 years working at Yahoo and 3 years working outside of Silicon Valley. Does this sound reasonable?
I think around 225-230 is decent number
Bonus is bit too high. Senior only got 10% bonus.
Overpaid, enjoy while it lasts.
I think this should be 3.75%? 15% sounds a bit high.
It's a good offer. Better than my offer when I joined 2 years ago.
What team are you joining?
Looks like a very decent offer. Join only if you this is the only offer and desperate to move. Also confirm the bonus percent. It must be 7.5 to 10.
Target bonus on the offer says 15%. Also, why do you think I should only take it as a last resort?
Bonus seems wrong, otherwise the offer is similar to what I had when I started as a swe ii.
Is the bonus guaranteed? For most places it depends on your performance so I wouldn't count it as part of your TC. You're realistically looking at ~$206k/year. In that case, it's kind of meh. I'd aim for $240k TC with a $165k base.
A small percentage of the bonus will apparently become performance dependent in the future, but for the first year of this program, it was not a factor.
