Facebook reality labs , E6 offer

Hello all , what do you think of the below offer in FRL wireless YOE: 16y TC : 218/425 20% bonus Location: Bay Area. Should I ask for E7 ?

Indeed indoob Oct 11, 2021

Wtf is that TC? 218k base 425k over 4 years? So really TC is ~325k? Seems quite low for E6?

Qualcomm forl63 OP Oct 11, 2021

Yah 425/4

What role?

Apple vcxzm Oct 11, 2021

Hardware?

Qualcomm forl63 OP Oct 11, 2021

Yes

Apple vcxzm Oct 11, 2021

Hardware pays lower than SWE. Base is good but RSU can go up to 700k. Aim for 400-420k TC

DoorDash ElSr87 Oct 11, 2021

This can't be right, are you sure you did the math right? FB E6 is 500k+ TC.

Qualcomm forl63 OP Oct 11, 2021

Yep, I was surprised too, recruiter is asking me to negotiate but not sure where to start on this low ball

Renesas Electronics PiKV45 Oct 13, 2021

How much was your sign on?

NXP kcMA70 Oct 21, 2021

Yoe? Is it ic design or wireless systems?

Ask for 100K, if they ask why say you did research, dont be afraid to say you checked levels fyi, even if you dont have competing offers this will boost the offer at least 50K. Also ask for sign in bonus, i know E6 who have gotten 100K for sign in.

Get competing offers

Salesforce dheufhdhhd Oct 21, 2021

It’s difficult to find competing offers in HW wireless since it’s very niche.

Facebook DidiFB Oct 21, 2021

Yeah that’s a pity. I’d think with an apple offer in hand that TC could go up a lot.

Salesforce dheufhdhhd Oct 21, 2021

Are you sure you got E6 and not E5? Your offer is the typical E5 offer for HW.
