I have two potential offers (Samsung and Cadence) at San Jose, California. What is the norm or cap figures for Senior Data Scientists 6 years of experience in the area.

My ballpark figure is 200k base salary + 20% annual bonus + 50k signon bonus.

Have no idea about VSUs and how much I should demand. Please shed some light. I donโ€™t want to undersell myself and at the same time donโ€™t want to sound ridiculous with my demands.

    Idk what ds salaries are like, but even if you are aiming above band, you can still try to negotiate for it. Fwiw my tc (in eng, including paper money) is just over 400k with 5 yoe. My base is over 200k.

    Reduce 50k from your base. Your expectation already sounds rediculous. With that high expectation no one would hire you as a senior DS.

      My current base is close to 150 and thatโ€™s in Raleigh which is way cheaper than San Jose. Letโ€™s say I ask 150 base what would be an ideal annual and signon bonus figures. Whatโ€™s like the norm annual bonus on Bay Area for a senior role. Is 20% high too! I am seeing people claiming they have received 100k signon bonuses on blind here... how true is this. In the east coast, max sign on bonus I have heard of for a senior role with 6-10 years is 20k!

    Your expectations seem too high..sr data scientist with 6yoe I would expect more 130-170 base..10/15% bonus..especially the two companies you mention I would expect lower rather than higher end..keep the thread posted, Iโ€™m curious
