Currently work at AWS. Being heavily recruited by Dell EMC. Was told by Dell EMC hiring manager to “write your own ticket.” Current AWS TC is just above $200k. What would you do? What would you say to Dell EMC?
Don’t know much about Dell EMC.. are they doing well?
See if you can double your TC and get an inflated title.. otherwise, it's a downgrade on your resume
I agree it’s a total downgrade on resume. By “write your own ticket” he means give them a TC number. Their client pipeline is supposedly excellent at the moment and need people with my particular skill set
You mean Dell Tech erstwhile Dell EMC? You can write your own number but no stocks. Depending on your BU your bonus could be less than 100%. But in some BUs like mine we have had Bonus comp over 150% of the stated bonus for the last three years.
Btw I have had a working relationship with this particular hiring manager in the past
Also no pay increases 😐
Why not, I would just view the culture first hand before you jump. Ask for 300k tc, could be a career maker
My current thought is to tell them base of $225k plus 20% annual bonus. Plus $100k in performance cash (which is their method of RSU since they are privately held) Is that lowballing? That brings annual TC to about $270k plus $100k performance cash to offset the unvested Amazon stock I currently hold
Performance cash won’t appreciate like amazon stock price but is still vested the same way as stocks do.
Like write your own paycheck ?
