I'm considering taking an offer from Epic Games. It's a great offer and I love the company, the only problem is the large variable bonus which isn't part of the contract. I understand it's a large chunk of TC (half? more?), but not guaranteed similar to how most investment banks/hedge funds work. This opposed to most tech companies, where your TC (RSUs, options, bonus %) is explicitly spelled out in the contract. My recruiter said they can't give any numbers on bonus because it's variable and not guaranteed. I've done some research on Blind and Glassdoor, and I've seen a few posts stating the bonus for the last few years has been around 100% of base salary (which would be amazing for me, btw). I'm sure Fortnite and the Epic store has had a lot to do with this, and while I'm confident in Tim Sweeney's commitment to his employees, I'm worried that my TC may drop considerably if the company has a bad year. Can anyone Epic Games comment? What have your bonuses in the last few years been as a percentage of your base salary? How do you feel about the consistency of your TC been overall? Current TC 425k #epicgames
Could you share what base they offered you and your yoe?
Hey OP did you end up taking the offer? I am in the same boat. Have an offer from them but the lack of transparency about the bonus worries me.
Will they be able to match your current TC? Also what's your YOE?
Just went through negotiations, feel free to pm me
Are they offering full time remote options?
I took the offer, feel free to PM me for details.

Epic pays out like 10% every quarter as a bonus in my experience
How was people experience negotiating with epic games? Can you get a sign on bonus or negotiate for stocks? Im in the stages soon and If I leave I'll miss my bonus and stocks that are not fully invested if I leave my current company. Also how generous are the salaries for PM?
Any update on this? Can I PM you?

Wanted to get the latest here... Is the minimum still ~10% in 2023-2024?
Heard recruiter guarantee a close friend that it’ll be at least around 10% quarterly, saw a post the other day from an Epic Games senior SWE said it was 100% annually
