Facebook IC4 DS Salary Offer

Sep 11, 2020 9 Comments

4.5 years DS exp, coming from consulting

Base: 150k
Stock: 40k - 160k over four years
Bonus: 15k
Relocation: 16k

TC ~205k

No sign on.

I can't help but feel like this is on the low end of what I could get. I was thinking I would get at least 250k TC.

What does Blind think?

    You should wait for more data points but from interviewing with them myself and having a few friends get offers as well it seems that ~200k TC is the normal for IC4 DS.

    Not comparable to DE or SWE at all since DS is at the bottom of the chain. 250-300 is what you should expect for IC5.

    I don’t think this is a case of them lowballing you much (as it’s in line with a typical DS offer) and I’m not sure how much higher they can go - should also note that getting above the normal means extremely good interview performance, but I’d imagine they would come at you with at least above average offer in that case

      I think you should definitely present that offer to the FB recruiter, I’d imagine that may help in negotiating up (perhaps in RSUs, where they seem to be the most lenient)

      Best of luck, hope you can bring that offer up

      I'm definitely willing to accept RSU's, I would love a tiny bit of a bump in base and bonus as well, but the RSUs are where I'm willing to accept the majority of the salary increase, if there is to be any.

      Thanks for the luck! I really appreciate it. I can't help but feel like the difference in offers is almost a detriment though

  • Is the offer from a reputable company? Usually that matters in them matching.

    Yeah this kinda confirms what I was thinking. These are pretty low ball offers. I was thinking like 160 base and 320k in stock :/
