Hi, I have a call with a recruiter next week to discuss my full-time return offer. I have a couple of onsites pending(Amazon Applied scientist, Facebook ML, Didi Labs, etc.) for this month. Any suggestions on how to navigate through this call? I was an intern at Apple last summer and will be offered ICT3. Can someone suggest what numbers should I quote if the recruiter asks for my compensation expectation? Y.O.E.: 2 years (FAANG) Currently a grad student at a top U.S. university.
Be upfront and politely let them know you have these other interviews in process and are going to wait and see how they turn out before making a decision. Being in demand with competing offers is key to getting better TC.
Listen to the offer, thank the recruiter, say you're excited and will get back after you have some time to think about it. Say you've got other on-sites coming and ask if they have a date by which you need to accept or decline.
