Expecting an offer for Group Engineering Manager role at San Jose. What can I expect in terms of Base/RSU/Bonus/Refreshers and Sign On? Also will be moving to Bay Area from a LCOL Area. So next question will be in terms of good neighborhoods for renting. Family of 3. Spouse will search for jobs after the move. Kid is 8 years old. Current TC - 280K LCOL (TX) YoE - 15+ #Adobe#BayArea
Managers have internal levels. My offer was total of 365k. Base 225k and rest in RSUs. Sign on was additional 50k. Level was L5. If you get L5.5 then you can get more. Heard positive reviews about work life balance and stocks are doing great too. I would negotiate on remote work. Moving to Bay Area without household income of less than 500k is a mistake. I would probably not move unless I have about 2-3M in addition to high TC. Again, your priorities would be different. Negotiate on location and not the pay.
Disagree with needing 500k household TC to live in the Bay Area. There are plenty of families who make less and do just fine. It depends on your lifestyle. (Worth noting that our household TC is 500k+) Good neighborhoods: if you’re planning to live close to SJ HQ, Campbell, willow glen (SJ), and parts of Santa Clara are nice.
"go broke fast"
Group EM in adobe is just one level down from director, how much are they offering?
