I received an offer for a Software Engineer Senior Associate position
- Base 116.5k
- Sign on 10k
- Bonus 11k max (5-6k average)
- No stocks
2 yoe
Is this a good offer and how much room do I have for negotiating?
Current TC 115k
Thanks
Update:
I was able to negotiate my base to 118k and the sign on to 12.5k. To do this I:
1. Compiled a list of salaries for similar positions from other companies in the area to show that they were offering more
2. Used my future Amazon interview as leverage: “If we can work something out I’d be willing to drop my Amazon interview and sign immediately. Otherwise I’ll have to get back to you in 2 weeks”
3. During my virtual interview I wrote down the specific qualities my interviewers mentioned they were looking for along with their future goals. In my counter offer I described how my skills align with these and the value I could potentially add to the team
While it’s always nice to get more, I’m happy with their counter offer and signed. Very excited to join the Capital One team!

Also, for me personally, that would be a good offer for this area. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t negotiate.
Also, my experience with Amazon has been poor. They rescheduled my virtual interview multiple times and my recruiter mistook me for someone else. I understand these are chaotic times but the lack of organization speaks volumes about what’s to come with working there.
