I have counter offers from other Faang places, but wondering what reasons i could include to up the sign-on. What have you mentioned? it might also apply to me. Bring em
My dads a deadbeat. I need to fix my car. I want more money. I love you long time. I have a retention bonus to stay 40 more days, can you match it.
You’re calling me a troll?
Best way to negotiate: say as little as possible and be (or pretend to be) prepared to walk away. That’s how I got one fang company double the stock and add a sign on bonus without even having a counter offer...
Unvested stocks in current company. Don't fabricate the numbers though.
I wouldn't. But isn't it the same as everything else where they can't ask for proof?
Time of year and bonus payout timing at current job can be one too. I.e banks payout bonuses during the beginning of the year. And if you are looking for a job now, then you are leaving almost 3/4 of your expected bonus. You could ask the company to cover that. Especially if the new company’s bonus cycle is let’s say July.
Tell them Google sign on bonus is double theirs , but you really like the team they got for you so if they could match the google offer, you will join.
Just say with shaking voice ‘ I really like mmoney’
Will do. Any other tips tho?
On a more serious note, I said that I was expecting a little more from a great company and is a good offer but not an exciting one. didn’t have other offers and they added 15% to sign on, 20% more RSUs and the base was increased with 5k
