Recently got an offer from Argo AI for a software engineer 2(L4/L5) embedded test role

Base @185k
Annual bonus@ 15%
2533 RSU's based on a 20B valuation when company goes public. ( Chances are IPO set for later this year, and it evaluates to about 275k over 5 years according to what the HR said. I have no knowledge on how that works out)

TC ~ 270k

Current TC 145k with 7 yrs of experience

      don't count on an unofficial agreement. Not just at argo but anywhere really.

      No it's basically just saying that based on your experience if you perform to expectations you will probably be promoted quickly - because you almost but not quite fit the criteria of the next level, or even you already kind of do but the hiring manager is being conservative about it.

  • Are you actually getting RSUs or are you being given ISOs? I have never been at a startup that close to going public, so I don’t know what is normal in that regard, but there are big differences between the two types of stocks.

    I was hired as an L4 2 years back, now I am L5. My salary was less than 185k and now it is more than 200k. In current market 185k sounds above average for an embedded test role. I might be wrong though.

    Looks like a great offer! Especially for Pittsburgh that def goes a long way. I see a few comments mention L5 offers in the bay area cross 200k, just putting it into perspective $270k in Pittsburgh is $527,093 in SF :)

    I also work in robotics in Pittsburgh and am looking into Argo, cool if I dm you? (or any other employees reading this)

    I'm a recent grad, have been working for about half a year and am wondering what my expectations should be($$ wise) if I'm looking at entry level roles at Argo.

    L4/L5 base salary for Bay Area are crossing $200k base pay. At L5 RSU’s are much higher than 5,000
