I am 7 years experienced. Have offers from Dropbox, Airbnb, Lyft, Uber, Stripe, Google, Facebook and LinkedIn. Most of they are yet to give me numbers.

Any idea what to expect from these companies in terms of offer?

Advise on company outlook is also welcome.

  • This person does not actually have any of these offers... they are actually trying to figure what one interview to apply for....

    Without offer details and numbers this is a futile exercise.

  • You don't have an offer from the company that matters. Use these as practice interviews and aim for Microsoft. If you get an offer take it without even looking at the numbers. You can never go wrong with the King of the tech world.

    congrats, let the bidding war begin!! =)

    situations like this is awesome. usually just 2-3 companies competing will get you top offer. you'll have to decide preipo or post. everyone on that list, maybe except Lyft and not sure about Stripe, should be able to get you top offer for your level once they're competing against each other.

      Any advice for the bidding war? How do you handle something like that? Do you share everyone's offers among them? Do you go through several rounds of negotiation with each of them?

      several rounds with each. but try to not look greedy. someone will give numbers first, that used as baseline. in all honesty, you should have a target number in mind that you share, a number you know you will easily accept. once a company hits that number you can say yes or leverage that to other companies to see if they can match/beat.

      always get offer in writing/email as other companies will want it as proof and makes it easier for them to go back to their comp team. whenever receiving an offer say thank you and you'll take a few days to a week to think about it. there can be a lot of back and forth, the hard part in this is to always stay grateful and appreciative to recruiters and hiring team, and not look like you're money hungry. as easy as it is to give out an offer, it's easy to rescind one. don't go dead silent on communication either, either set a deadline when you'll reach back out, or stay communicative.
