Citadel NXT comp

Hi blind, I recently passed citadel's NXT interview and entered team match stage. I'm wondering how much comp should i ask for? I see crazy numbers in blind and levels.fyi like 600+k for TC. Is it realistic to ask that much? Also is leaving tech to join finance a good career move? Yoe. 4 (Amazon) Tc: 225k

I recruiter told me that all ic share the same level in citadel. In amazon I'm a sde ii

Lol the majority of your comp is bonus not salary. So, it's unrealistic to ask that much.

Amazon mugk50 OP Jan 28, 2022

I understand. I mean for tc is it realistic to ask for 600k

Meta metadumb Jan 28, 2022

...yes. They're not going to give you the performance based bonus until you have done the work. Shit citadel and Amazon hiring real winners

After Hood, Citadel is on the chopping block. Keep an eye out.

haing a competing offer will help

Citadel KonGroffin Jan 29, 2022

600 tough, 400 min, not including signing Base/target first year bonus should be 50/50

Amazon mugk50 OP Jan 29, 2022

Thank you! Do you know what is a normal range for signon?

That’s super variable — I personally got on the low end but it was a product of having weak competing offers

SDE 2 asking for above 500 seems high, hard to view as reasonable unless you have competing offers. I’s do Base+Bonus of 400 and sign-on on top of that (especially if relocating)

This is what I would ask for as well.

can relate to this. I am 3 yoe and got 500k tc but negotiated with competing offer. when I gave the expected range of 400-500k, they initially told me 500k seems to be high for 3 yoe. Location is Chicago.

600k for 4 yoe is completely reasonable here
