hey experts, i am a new grad with 1.5 YOE, just pass google HC and team match. recruiter said next would be VP approval. i have heard some stories about rejected by VP, is it related to the TC you are asking? As a junior dev like me, what TC should I ask. I do have a offer from MSFT with 120k base 15% bonus and 50k stock plus 30k signon Any help would be appreciated.
Always ask for more
I don't think you'd get a rejection if your ask is reasonable, for example, match with MS offer or even reasonably higher than that. Then again, I'm not a googler myself. Is that 50k stock for the first year or spread over 4 years?
stock is for 4 years, thanks!
Is that 50 each year or 50/4? If it’s 50/4 that’s a pretty bad offer
For 1.5 yoe?
I didnt. I asked for double what the offered (didnt have counter offer at time). I did it because i had no intention of accepting (due to the team match and other stuff). I get asked to reconsider often
I was asked to re-interview (or not get anything) because the numbers I gave would mark me at the top of my band. It was completely unheard of and extremely stressful. I had no idea that it was a possibility.
Negotiate them against each other
