I passed the technical rounds and they are asking me what my compensation expectations are. The recruiter says they're looking to hire me as an IC5. YoE: 9 years + multiple industry awards (I'm turning 30 this year). Current position: Most senior data person at 100 person startup Current TC: $195k base, ~$16k in options per year, no annual bonus but they did give me a $15k sign-on. What can I ask for? (Base/Stock/Bonus/Sign-on?)
Reposting with an anon account? I don't blame you. To answer your question: don't give the first number. Negotiate on top of their initial offer. Ballpark should be above 360. Check levels.fyi for E5, bands are there same except for a .75x multiplier on the RSUs because data engineers get slightly lesser than SDEs.
What does “multiple industry awards” mean?
Probably means op is old
But like what is an “award” in regards to Data/Software Engineering?
Your base is already high for DE. what’s your expectation ?
