Hi, I am considering joining GM , they offered me controls design engineer role at Level 6A. I have 6 yoe , can I negotiate for L7, they offered me almost same salary where I am at now. Offering 105k plus 10% bonus Can I 1. Negotiate for level 7 2. Negotiate for 110 base 3. Ask for joining bonus How is Oakland county cost of living , currently in Indianapolis which is very cheap compared to my current salary. Thanks #interview #auto #generalmotors #ford #fiatchryslerautomobiles #aptiv
Looks like 6A is relatively maxed out at 105k. For the same you could perhaps be a low L7, but requires different responsibility than L6. The bonus is standard for L6. Did you check levels.fyi ??
Yeah looks like you are right , just checked levels.fyi , thanks
6 YOE, definitely ask for 7B. I wouldn't come anything lower. Because you are gonna spend 6 more years to go to 7A.
At 110k you won't be poor, but median salary is around 90k for the area, so it will probably be a step down for you from Indianapolis. Even with COVID prices a decent but certainly not fancy 1Br is around 2.5k/mo
What are you talking about? That's not true at all. A 2br place in one of the nicer suburbs is maybe ~$1500/mo. It's definitely more expensive than Indy, but it's cheap relative to the average salaries.
I was giving prices for Oakland because he asked about Oakland COL.
Ask for 120 k plus 20k joining bonus. See what they offer. If you dont get 8percent from where you are no point of moving.
Won’t happen.
Holy shit, 105k is basically 7B pay. That’s wild
Could you share your experience?
You should ask for more than 120k at least with 20K joining bonus. Also, negotiate on annual bonus of 15%.
And you really think they will accept ? The bonus structure is fixed I thought? I wonder if you got 20k joining bonus never heard of this high amount.
Could you share the interview experience?
Would be low salary for L7

Move out of Midwestern automotive companies and come join tech companies in Bay Area. You’ll make twice that
Ya... currently thinking about jumping ship. The pay here at Ford is just a joke
It would be good if there was a tool to do TC to cost of living comparison , people keep saying move to bay area or Seattle. With the cost of living difference at the end of the day you might end up saving the same amount of money , thoughts ?
