Evaluate my offer: Senior UX Designer @ T-Mobile
Currently a contractor at T-Mobile at 150 base, nothing else. Now have an offer in-hand for FTE: Base: 130 Bonus: 19.5 (15%) RSUs: 10 (3 year vest) So, TC is like* ~$150 Lower than I expected … what's everyone else seeing? *Saying "like" because I have no idea how reliable bonuses are #ux #design #seattle #offers
The bonus has been over 15% since I started.
Are you posting regarding to a engineer role or UX designer role? I was referring to a design role. I would imagine an engineer will have higher compensation.
An engineer won’t inherently have a higher bonus. That’s largely dictated by HR via salary bands and level, not business function.
The bonus has been reliable for me the past 3 years I’ve worked there. I’ve gotten at least the full targeted amount if not sure for high preforming years.
Push for more comp. Seems low. Rest is standard and non-negotiable
Thanks for the input. Before I saw this, I pushed for more of everything, which may have kneecapped things. A rising tide lifts all boats?
10K RSU is per year ?
10k grant a year and vests over 3 years.
Update: I counter-offered with a TC ~200/yr*, they upped the base by 5 (to 135), but that was it, so I declined. May have over-extended a bit. * What I countered with: base - 165 bonus - 19.8 (12%) grant - 20k yearly starting bonus - 20k I positioned the counter based on the expected impact + ROI over 3 years (plus market realities, past comp, and partnering role comp). While this seems like a reasonable way to frame the value, maybe a little hard when salaried roles are viewed closer to commodities. Thanks for the input everyone!
Well the bonus and RSUs are non-negotiable. Like, at all. It’s dependent on pay band.
@Buxtahude yep, know that now … but didn't when I countered, which was before I'd been informed by you all.
That is what I been seeing... and that’s consider the higher end of the salary band for non tech or smaller size company. I also think it depends what is the responsibility entail for the role. For company that have individual separate roles for research, UX design and UI / visual design, the base seems to be lower than company looking for full stack designer.
