Does anyone have experience negotiating their bloomberg offer to match or go closer to a competing offer? How to negotiate with recruiters if you have competing offers especially because bloomberg is private ( no stocks). Faang companies are proving 250k + stocks.
How much is bbg offer?
Swe 2 Yoe 145/20 perf bonus/10 sign on
Well they’re def not getting close to FAANG comp if it’s not for senior swe.
From my experience, they can match most offers if you’re mid level (e.g. fb E4), given they want you enough, and it will be all cash. any higher they don’t really compete.
Don’t bother with BBG if you get FAANG unless a lot more TC
What about wlb
Former Bloomberg engineer here. My advice is don’t go to Bloomberg. Growth will be terrible. There is no career path for engineers. A lot of engineers there with 10+ yoe make between 200-250k. 300k is only for super stars and team leads. FANNG wins any day.
I have 2+ years experience but from a testing background. I am being hired as a swe with the comp I have already mentioned. In this role specifically there is a training 6 - 8 weeks and I could get to choose the teams I work with. Isnt that a great thing to choose the team yod like and work with them?
If you want to get into development and this is your only offer, definitely take it. If you get a higher offer elsewhere ask BB to match or beat it. BB has great WLB for the pay. However you are young in your career so aiming for growth rather than WLB could pay dividends in the future. If you get Google, Facebook I would take those. If you get only Amazon, then that will be a hard choice. You can learn a lot at Amazon but their culture sucks. I’d never leave BB for any amazon offer. Extra money isn’t worth struggling to get out of bed every morning. Mental health is worth something.
+100
Why would a moron choose bbg over FAANG lol
Doesn't say he/she got a faang offer.
The point is the comparison is silly to make. If you have FAANG offer you’d take it in heartbeat over bbg
