Posting for my brother since he is not on blind. He recently got an offer from Ebay for MTS1 and wanted to know if there is any room for negotiation. Base- 180k RSUs- 130k (over 4 years) Joining Bonus- 40k Annual Bonus- 10% TC - 273k YOE- 9 Will appreciate if someone can answer the questions below: 1) How is ebay doing as a company in terms of job security and wlb? 2) How long does the promotion to MTS2 usually take? 3) How many refreshers does ebay usually give for MTS1?
1. In terms of wlb, your brother will have ample time to plan for kids. Job security- in the current scenario, he will have a job and won’t live with the fear of losing it. 2. 4-5 years 3. $40k annual
Thanks! Do you think there is any room for negotiation with the offer?
Ample time to plan for kids= ample time to have sex?
It's a good offer
I see engineers working 50ish hours fairly consistently. Def get more
What team? I work 40 and nobody has ever asked me for more. Marketing tech.
Location?
Good
175k base around the max limit for mts1, so 180k base will make transition to mts2 pretty quick as they would have to promote to give your annual raise i believe.
Which location?
Refresher every year is around 70k for MTS1 if the performance is decent.. I have seen people getting promoted in 2 years to 5 years.. it depends on performance
Is MTS1 = L26?

What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
Your TC for 1st year 180k+40k+10%(~20k) = 240k TC for 2nd/3rd/4th year 180k+33k(RSUs)+20k bonus = 233k So your TC is ~235k and not 273k which you may think based on first year sign on + RSUs
Why would you not include RSUs in first year comp?
Because you get the first vest only after 1 year is done. There is nothing wrong with counting it in the first year TC, but I feel it gives a wrong sense of how the money is going to be spread over the first year as it falls and vests after the 1 year boundary
