4 YOE overall, 3 years at Bloomberg. Just finished team match. Downleveled due to interview performance (messed up a follow up in one of the rounds). I don't have competing offers but I have an option to transfer to my desired location through Bloomberg (I live in NY now. I want to move to Bay Area). This is my alternative. What is a good TC to negotiate for L3 with 4YOE? I wanted to ask for 240-250K and maybe end up with around 230K. I don't mind the downlevel. Wanted to check here before moving forward. The offer conversation hasn't happened yet. My recruiter submitted my packet to executive leadership last week. TC 190K #engineering #software #swe #google #negotiateoffer #offer #interview
How much time did it take for team match ?
1 month.
210-220.
Thanks. Do they take YOE into consideration when they make the initial offer? Or do they start with a new grad lowball for L3 even for 4 YOE?
They do take yoe to some extent. Got L4 with around 1.7 yoe and only got a 230k offer with no competing offers. If I had more yoe, pretty sure I would’ve gotten at least 240.
Yeah around 210-230 is what you get for L3. I was exactly in your boat and I got 212k TC + 30k sign on. But that was 4 yrs ago, so probably if you have good interview feedback + negotiation skills you can go to around 250(with sign on), which is absolutely top of the line
Thank you :) Mind if I DM you with some questions?
Sure
You’ll get ~210 for L3 with no competing offers.
Would this be the initial number or the final?
Final, unfortunately.
Have been seeing recent L3 offers of 230-240 on Blind
I think those people had competing offers...
Competing offer + 4-5 YOE.
4 YOE with L3 is absolutely a disgrace. BB 3 years would definitely pay you more than 250k
Lol. What is wrong with you?
so you have to be absolutely perfect on each round to avoid getting downleveled? harsh
Not necessarily. But the followup i screwed up was related to multithreading. Thats a pretty important topic for more experienced engineers to know. I should have brushed up on it before the interviews.
do u mind elaborating what kind of multithreading problems?
OP what did you end up negotiating?
