Job market is brutal for SWEs 🥲
What a lowball You won’t be able to survive on that salary
This. It’s not enough money to live well and such a lowball i don’t know how you would even negotiate with out blowing it out of the water.
Would your opinion be the same if I mentioned I am single guy, 26 years, expecting to live with roommates? Also curious would you guys be able give an approximate break down on living expenses and taxes?
Go for it. Tiguan will be ipo very soon. 53k shares is worth x million dollars.
Nope, I didn't.
Kinda low for the bay. Before you take any Bay Area offer you should visit. It’s like a 3rd world country in many areas. Expensive as fuck and you’ll need rain boots in sf for all the human shit you’ll step in lol.
Found someone who have no clue what they are talking about
Found some who can’t English
I mean, I heard people saying things about 100k isn’t enough in the Bay Area, but has anyone looked at the market for that position? It looks like you will be getting pay more than 90% of people in that position in Palo Alto. The market has a bigger factor in TCs folks.
You can live off 100k if you live modestly. But regardless I would say that offer is low, considering im a new grad (non-SWE) and getting pretty much the same offer you’re getting.
Did you also an get offer from MFG department?
Even if you are fresh out of school, this salary is peanuts and your quality of life will be extremely poor. Also if you are single and identify as straight male your dating life would be abysmal
Be careful about interviewing with this company. They give verbal offers and in the end, reject the candidacy. Happened with me and a lot of people on Blind.
How many RSUs?
53k vested in 4 years
I think you have to push for more on base salary. RSU seems in line. I’ve seen 5 YOE get $54-$65k as ME or in purchasing.
