Alright guys here’s the situation. I’m a new grad in SWE with about a year of internship exp. ( company wasn’t super sexy but learned a lot). Now I’m looking at two choices:
Tesla Offer (full stack) in Fremont:
Base 110
Equity 42k/4
Total: about 120 /yr
OR I have another offer close to home (SoCal) for around 100k. I’d have very little expenses here and be close to friends and fam.
I know Tesla has a rep for lowballing, but this seems really low for living in the bay. Especially considering the WLB at Tesla. I tried negotiating and my HR person came back with THE SAME EXACT NUMBERS and told me this is the final offer lmao.
How badly am I getting played? Should I counter and how hard? Or stick to the local offer and interview again later?

An alternate approach if you’re confident in your skills is to take up your other offer but keep interviewing on the side until you find something better.
