Can someone help me evaluate this offer from Bloomberg? Qualifications: Master’s Degree in CS 3 YoE Offer: Title: Senior Software Engineer Base: 170K Bonus: 30K Location: NYC No other competing offers at this time. I initially negotiated from 160K TC to the above offer. Is there any more room for negotiation? UPDATE: I ended up accepting this offer. I didn't try to negotiate for more TC, instead, I tried to get a better split (180K Base/20K Bonus), but they wouldn't budge. Even though I didn't have competing offers, I still had some leverage. I was working at Bloomberg as a contractor for the past year on a project that is important to the team I will be joining. I used that info to negotiate up from the initial 160K offer. I didn't mention this in the original post because it would have revealed my identity to anyone in Bloomberg's HR team. It was a long shot, but I didn't want to risk it. Thanks to everyone that commented with advice. I hope this helps others in their negotiations with Bloomberg.
With no competing offers, I don’t think you’ll go any far from this
Bloomberg will low ball as much as possible and will only go much higher if you have compete offers
Not a bad offer at all, but without competing offers this is definitely the best you will get.
Is it not a great offer?
Fuck that’s way too high without any offers
Good offer without competing offer. 160k was a low ball
For what it's worth, if you perform well and MAKE IT KNOWN THAT YOU DID your TC can raise first.
Some other Blind poster recently got $210k TC with 2.5 YOE, so there's probably a bit more negotiation room if you have competing offers. I joined with $200k (175/25) TC and no MS, with 1.5 YOE. But I had strong competing offers.
How did u get that offer? ML?
No ML. Competing offers
