Blind team, need help evaluating offer. Got an offer from Infogain for a TPM role with Meta on connectivity team. Got offered $140k and need to relocate to Menlo park area. I am currently on east coast making $120k/year. I want to get out of my current role but the salary offered is too low. I have never negotiated an offer any tips on how to do it. YOE- 9yrs Current TC - 120k
Staying in Bay Area is expensive rent itself will cost 3500. I think you should accept the offer if you are single or with wife no kids. If you have kids then I don't think it is nice idea to move . But once you come here you will have ample opportunities. So it is upto you decide on short term or long term.
I am single, i received a similar advice from another friend of mine, but i want to try negotiating..
140K in Menlo Park is like 80K in east coast. Good luck chief
Without other offers your only move is to threaten to walk, then do it if they don't give you more.
Reiterate your excitement at the team and the company, then express doubt at the offer. Come up with a number that you’d accept, then add $20-50k, and give them that number.
What level are they bringing you in at. That is most likely determining the pay range. 140K feels low so I think you have room for negotiation. Does 140K include bonus and RSUs?
a friend of mine was offered 160 for the same role through some other company. No RSUs. Did you get any RSUs?
No RSU. I was able negotiate to 160k. But I have been let go due to the recent changes in Meta.. i am on a hunt for another TPM role.
my friend lost her job from the recent lay off and she is on job hunt . she didn’t get any severance.
sorry to hear that . just to clarify are you the OP ?
Yesss… the job hunt has been very depressing
hope both of you find the jobs soon . she is actively looking for jobs
hey OP.. bro/sis there are openings in apple for tpm. my friend just got her interview scheduled. Amazon is also hiring for TPM.
Me lol Park is very expensive, so depending on which part of the east coast you are moving from, your quality of live might go way down because of cost of living there. 140k for TPM at meta with 9 YOE seems really low to me.
Yeah i agree 140k is low, but how do i negotiate.
Whatever you negotiate might not get you far, it might be wise to pass on it, which I know is difficult to do. Trust me, you won’t appreciate how expensive and out of reach this area is until you live there. A devil’s advocate would say, use Meta as a bouncing board for a good next opportunity, just know you’ll go through tough time until you do
