Friend received his offer yesterday. Base 125 Bonus 15% 4 yoe Software engg Seattle How does it look Edit: how is wlb though?
If this is SE4, ask for 135. 125 is a bit on the low end. And maybe ask for some RSU as well.
Do they provide RSU? recruiter said they just provide options to buy but no RSU
That's ESPP. Stocks can absolutely be given as part of the compensation. Tell them your expected TC. Do not ever tell them what you make now.
fair offer as per exp. level
Doesnt this seem low? I felt cisco , if not paymaster, pays good atleast
Base seems fine but no rsu makes the TC weak vs other offers you might be able to get. Of course you might need to get another offer to negotiate with if they won't offer any
yeah ask for rsu
Gtfo
For reference, new grad SWEs in San Jose (grade 6) get 120-125k base with 5% bonus and some RSUs. Seems like a lowball offer especially with 4 yoe, if those years were relevant
Thank you very much for the reference provided. Since this is Seattle, i would feel 125 here would be like 150 in SJ? Am I caliberating fine?
Also yes, the years of experience are all relevant.
@guesshoo It's not. At 4yoe should be making close to 180k in TC. The best time to negotiate at Cisco is before you accept the offer. Internal raises and stock awards are hard to come by.
That 180k figure would be for Seattle or bay area?
You can ask that for Seattle. Any other company at 4yoe you should be pushing to 200 TC. The worst thing that could happen is they'll counter with 160.
Also, how is wlb there?
Amazing. Get into work at 9:30/10 leave at 2/3pm
Lol seriously?
”friend”
Yeah he wouldve posted himself had he not been banned
