Facebook New Grad Negotiation
I got the return offer at 110/160/65. I’ve been trying to negotiate with my recruiter, but she won’t budge. I had slightly higher offers that she submitted to the “comp team”, but was always turned down for an increase (2 times). More recently I was told my offer is final. Afterwards, I received a much higher offer from a well known Unicorn at 220 TC. I told them this and they said they “do not match offers and my offer is still final”. How true is this statement? Should I wait until it gets closer to my deadline (1.5 weeks) to ask for more again? How should I word it? Apparently my recruiter fucked up and her manager approved me getting an extra $10k sign on a long time ago. My recruiter didn’t know this (“misread what her manager said”) and didn’t tell me; I found out by asking her manager. I still want the bump to $100k ($25k increase now), which would be less than what I was asking for before (65->100 instead of 75->100). Does this scenario change anything? Another note: my recruiter told me I can submit to the comp team any number of times, so I updated her with my offers as I got them. Then, she does a complete 180 and tells me I cannot submit anymore. Seems like she’s trying to snake me. Do I just let it go, or can I leverage this to my advantage?
go to unicorn then.. if u think fb didnt give u good number. to me, the number is so good. as far as i know, fb do have comp team, usually its no negotiatable.... why do u care the 10k 20k difference? fb stock price may reach 200 next year....
AFAIK (having been a part of 20+) FB intern offers are actually immutable. More money is better but I would let it go. What you learn and do in your first few years out of school matters 10x more for future comp than the delta you are talking about here
Exactly. In the next few years the extra money will be peanuts
This. A 25k delta doesn't matter at all in the long run
It's possible to get 100k but I'm not sure what the factors are. It seems largely to depend on your recruiter since I've seen people with no offers getting it and people with competing offers not.
Your manager from your internship probably just doesn't think you're worth the money you're asking for. If you want more money, go where your higher offers are at
Its pretty simple. Go where the higher offers are or go to fb for less. If you look at the other thread about fb where the person is leaving back to uber perhaps that will help your decision. Perhaps not.
My friend was an intern at fb and managed to negotiate. Her initial tc was 115/160/65 and a week before her deadline, she was invited for a Google onsite. She called her recruiter and spoke about Google interview and asked for higher base and stocks. The recruiter told her that they don't increase base or stocks, but agreed to bump up sign on to 100K, but she had to accept the offer within a day. She did.
It highly depends on your final evaluation as an intern. If you would have gotten a very good review they would go up to 100k. I believe you got sth mediocre and hence they don't budge. And I dont believe you for a competing offer. Nobody gives this much to an L3. Dont bring the competing offer story with them again, they know you are lying.
If you are in ML space, Microsoft can offer you better. I am hiring new grads for my team with much more than this.
I’m not in ML :(
Please 😂
