Interviewed for principal engineer. Got down leveled to staff. Base:180 + 20% bonus Joining bonus: 60k in stock 60k in stock every year for four years Yoe 13 Is this a good offer?
No
They do have standard offers. You can negotiate on joining bonus, rest of them are kind of fixed.
Thanks. Can I negotiate the base?
200k for base is top of the band, 210k is absolute top for the level I think.
Can definitely get much more base. I have seen seniors getting very close to 180K. Rest is fixed. Joining bonus is also negotiable till a certain point
What is the location?
Sunnyvale
Not familiar with that region, sorry. Seems kind of low for that yoe, BUT the yoe's area and the position's stack is likely correlated. Congrats on the offer though!
Higher base. Read ~170k base for senior level on blind. + some sign on cash.
Sounds low for the area
Standard.
