linkedin EM: sr manager call after HC approval

Cleared HC after onsite interview for Engineering manager position. This was specific to the team so the manager was in the loop. He was very happy that I was able to clear the HC. Now they want to schedule an one hour call with a senior manager for team fit/ matching. what type of questions should I expect in this conversation? Edit: I am a senior engineering manager where 4 engineering managers report to me. I also have competing offer from fb with TC 495k. Thanks! TC: 435k yoe : 20

It’s just a sell call, nothing else. What’s your position at BBG? TL, EM? Head of engineering ?

I am a senior engineering manager where 4 engineering managers report to me.

It ll be mostly around behavioural problems. Please check LinkedIn values (6) to understand LinkedIn culture. Be ready with some examples to showcase your compassion based management style. Also think about your current job. It might be the most important interview to assess cultural fitment which LinkedIn takes very seriously.

Engineering Manager would be a step down for you with 20 yrs of experience. You should be shooting for Sr.Mgr and above. Which team was this for ?

Bloomberg lijgggfdgb OP Sep 28, 2019

Recruiter pitched me for first line EM and said yes. I should have asked for senior manager role.

You can still fight for Sr.EM.. are you desperate to move out. For EM they won’t be able to beat your TC by a huge margin

Also, how much did they offer?

Bloomberg lijgggfdgb OP Sep 28, 2019

Not yet. Offer Will Be Made after thé team fit call.

Bloomberg lijgggfdgb OP Sep 28, 2019

Can they do 20% more from my current TC?

LinkedIn fukrefresh Sep 29, 2019

Not at EM.

Bloomberg lijgggfdgb OP Sep 29, 2019

I am planning to ask for sr engineering manager based on my past experience. Any idea how many more interviews are involved?

LinkedIn bokchok1 Sep 28, 2019

With 20 YOE TC 495 is less. You should negotiate at least 100k more.

EM pay is roughly on par with Staff SWE pay, which is normally 350-450k(it can be higher with stock appreciation, refreshers etc). So they might not be able to beat your current TC by a large margin. Unless they really like you & make an exception...I guess.

Bloomberg lijgggfdgb OP Sep 28, 2019

Thanks for this info. Would they honor the fb competing offer?

LinkedIn markez Sep 28, 2019

I have heard of us beating FB offers, so it's possible, depending on how much they want you. BTW, are you interviewing for LinkedIn NYC?
