Hi all, My friend was offered 160k TC for SDE 1 in US. The latest negotiation round ended up at 240k I’m not very familiar with US salary band for SDE1 but from glassdoor, it looks good. Should he accept it or negotiate more? Base : 185k Bonus : 90k (split in 2 years) Stocks : 40 YOE : 1.5 years Thanks.
That’s more than many sde2 make, great package for sde1
Yeah that looks more like an SDE 2 comp.
That looks like top of sde2 band.
Top of SDE2 band is near 300k
240 is near to me. That term is relative
Doesn’t Amazon cap base at 160k and even then it’s rare to see that high
Caps at 185k for CA, NY.
Wow that’s impressive then to be able to negotiate 50% higher from original offer
@op did you have a counter offer to negotiate?
No
Lol what did you say to the recruiter to negotiate 50% higher comp?
