      How much higher did you say your competing offers were? Do they match?

      They did match the highest base and highest stocks from all the offer letters I had. So couldn't ask more. I did not raise the numbers as could not find this post before ;)

    Recent L5 offer here.

    If you don’t have competing offers I’d think twice before lying. It’s a long shot but a recruiter could theoretically reach out to a fellow recruiter who works at the supposed competing offer company to verify if you’re even in the system. If you get caught then you’re screwed.

    I didn’t have competing offer and recruiter said he couldn’t go ask for more from comp committee without me providing additional data, namely the RSUs id be leaving behind. I thought on that for several days and decided to give in, since he seemed very adamant that he couldn’t go ask for more without it. I gave him the info and they came back with an extra 14k/yr, which I accepted. The RSUs I was leaving were definitely significantly less than what even their original offer was, but I guess it was enough to bump the offer up. I was happy with my final offer (307/yr) , even though I know it can go up to 375+ for people with competing offers. For reference the original offer was 292 (including sign on amortized over 4 yrs). Next time I’ll just need to work harder to get competing offers.

    And from some other blind posts, it seemed like 285-290 is kind of the standard L5 offer.

  • Mine asked for a range & the companies. I’m weary about what I should share. Also asked me about what my expected range is

    You can say no, I don't want to give you an offer letter at hand.
    You either trust me that I have one, or you don't- if you don't, then there's bigger problems- that you cannot take me at my word.
    If you do, why do you want to see the letter?
