Adobe Senior CS (L5) Offer - Negotiation
Mighty folks at Blind, I was made an offer today by Adobe for the role of Senior Computer Scientist (L5) in the Adobe Marketing Cloud and Analytics org. Offer being made : Annual Base: - 206k USD Stock: - Assuming Current stock price: ~250 USD - Total stock Value : 160K USD (650 total RSUs) - Annual Stock Value : 40K USD Bonus: - Annual 5% = ~10k - Sign-on Bonus: 25k - First Year End Bonus: 25k Total first year compensation: 307k Year on Year compensation (base + stock + 10k yoy bonus) : 260k (assuming salary/stock grant remains same after first year) How does this offer look for L5 (Senior Computer Scientist) ? How far can I negotiate and on which portions of the offer?
3-5% refresher
3-5% refresher for all levels ? Everybody in the team gets it?
That's discretionary. But that's the average I've heard
Yoe? Is this tubemogul? If so you may want to read reviews about it. The offer looks par minus the bonus.
No, this is based on San Jose (Omniture Analytics). Yoe = 12 years.
If you fancy yourself with faang, linkedin, or unicorns you can make upto 400k
For 12 yoe, that sounds low!
Well that's Adobe for you
Update: Adobe Raised the Year over Year Compensation Base : $220K Annual Bonus (5%) : $11000 RSU : 775 RSU Total = $200,000 over 4 years. Annual Stock value = $50,000 per year Bonus : $20000 each year for 4 years . This will be paid out at year 1,2,3,4 anniversary. Sign-on Bonus: 20k First year total comp : 320k Year over Year comp: 302k for each of 4 years ( assuming salary/stock grant remains same after first year). Lemme know how this looks to you.
320k for 12 yoe, for software engineer position that would be low. Not sure for computer scientist.
Is year over year bonus standard? I'm negotiating an offer and they are saying 7% annual bonus. No mention of year over year bonus.
Did they tell you the level? 54 or 55?
I dunno about 54/55 ..they said the decision was between L4 / L5 and they gave me Level: L5 (Senior Computer Scientist II ) based on my interview performance.
Did you end up accepting?
Update: They raised base to 220k, annual stock grant to 50k, and added in a year over year bonus of 20k. So with the 5% annual AIP bonus the year over year comp comes to 305k. Also a first year sign on bonus of 20k. I have accepted the offer.
thanks - congrats! Isnt it like this: 220 + .5% + 50 + 20 = 301k? & 321k first year?
With current stock price this offer is looking fantastic now :)
Also, do folks have an idea of what the annual refresher looks like at Adobe? Is there a range (performance based)? The HR said it's pretty ambiguous and the value can be "anything".
