So these are my current offer letters in hand, wanted to get your opinions on this - 1. Meta TC - 250k $ : base - 160K; RSU - 280k (vested annually); Bonus - 20K Position - E4 (Mid-level Security Engineer) Work location -> Menlo Park CA (WFH not an option) Rationale - Bay area is pretty expensive, savings aren't as good, travel to work every day would be killing, stock prices are all-time low I don't think it's going back up anytime soon, also no green card petition because of the ongoing case with US DoJ, California taxes (income, et al) are damn high ( 2. Apple TC - 205k $ : base - 150K; RSU - 180k (vested annually); Bonus - 10K Work location -> Seattle (Hybrid work model) Position - ICT3 (Mid-Level Security Engineer) Rationale - Seattle is pretty expensive, savings aren't as good, Don't like the gloomy weather but not a deal-breaker, stock prices are more or less stable but not much growth. WLB is really good for the team that I'd be joining. Zero state tax, so that's kinda sweet 3. AWS TC - 255k $: base - 160K; RSU - 280k (15% for the first two years and 35% for the next 2); Bonus - 25K Work Location -> NYC (Hybrid work model) Position - SDE II Rationale - NYC is pretty expensive, savings aren't as good, love the city vibe, stock growth is really good since after the pandemic. WLB is crap. Again the income tax and state tax is hell bad in NYC (almost 50% of my income) 4. ForgeRock TC - 250k $: base - 200k; RSU 200k (vested quaterly) ; Bonus - 0 (but might receive max of 15% based on annual performance) Work Location -> All remote (they don't care if I work from Alabamas) Position - Senior Security Engineer (comparable to E5) Rationale - love the remote work option also they have offices across Europe and they do send their employees there all the time, savings would be really good, They recently went IPO and the stock is really undervalued, I see a huge growth option there (A gamble, but an educated one). WLB is super awesome - complete European-style work. Again the income tax and state tax could go as low as I want them to, based on where I work from. I am yet to give an onsite for Roblox and snap that I am currently looking forward to which would definitely be more TC but not sure about WLB and other factors. What are your opinions here? YoE - 1.5 Prev TC: peanuts - since I was working from India there are the factors I am considering right now - TC > progress > WLB Also is the FAANG name really worth it for career growth? #faang #securityengineer #software #amazon #meta #apple
How did you get international offers in US from India?
Dump ForgeRock. If they pay as much as an E4 at Meta then it’s not at all comparable to E5.
Is this true? Meta still hasn’t resolved Green Card issues? Tf am i going through the onsite interview for next week 💀
I am hiring for fully remote SDE II roles in Amazon. DM if interested.
Did you negotiate the apple offer?
Hope you didn't choose Forgerock
How long did Apple take to let you know the results after your on-site?
I am hiring for fully remote SDE 2 and Sr. SDE roles for my team in Amazon. DM me if interested.
Put your total RSU grant, not the yearly amount. Your AWS one is wildly off unless you were offered a 1.4m RSU grant
This is my annual Comp, will update it though. However how does 70k annually sum upto 1.4m?
