What is the total compensation I should expect from Facebook as a UX Researcher? #interviews Current offer- Current base: 120k RSU: 100k/4yrs Bonus: 20k Yoe: 2 IC4
Location?
Ask for more base and sign on if you have competing offer. Not sure about equity but if I remember correctly the refresher of UX researcher is around 0.3x of a SWE at the same level. So mapping to initial grant it doesn’t seem to be too off, as SWE IC4 initial grant is around 350k
I thought UX people are paid almost same as SWEs in big companies ? Source : levels.fyi
That’s what I thought..total comp seems low from levels.fyi
The 20k bonus sounds weird, cause afaik they don't usually budge on the standard "10% of base". Generally speaking, this doesn't look bad. I got a little more base, but less on RSU and bonus
How likely is it to push base to 140? + more sign on at FB?
You can always try. Don't think you'll be successful though. Sign on seems to come and go in waves. When I joined in the summer everyone on Blind complained about no sign on. A few weeks later people got them again. No idea what's going on. Generally speaking: be happy with the offer in terms of TC. It's good.
Seems low...its about the same as my offer from IBM...except we don't have RSU.
Do you mind sharing the TC for a Principal Product Designer at IBM? Yoe 20 years. Location Bay Area. Thank you!
Sounds low. Especially since they assign $0 value to your immortal soul (which you’ll be sacrificing once you sign on).
This is a joke of an offer. Ridiculously low; even non tech roles have a better offer than this. Don’t take it.
People in non-UXR roles have no concept of what we get in terms of comp. Don't listen to the trolls. It's sad that we don't make as much as other non tech roles, but it's the reality. This is an ok offer for 2yoe. It's not incredible, but also nothing bad. I recommend taking it. Try to negotiate a little of course, that's part of the game.
what about Product Design/UX Design ? Are salary levels similar to SWE for Product Design/UX Design ? Someone replied to my question on another comment but looking for more data points.
No they're not. Afaik design and PM are somewhat similar-ish. SWE is way more, UXR is way less
What is the current offer?
You can’t be serious you can’t
But I am...too low?
Very. Even lower than Amazon, which pays most frugally among FANGs.
