Sunnyvale

Is there any annual bonus? If not, then you can ask that

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

Yeah, there’s the 15% annual bonus

TBC Corp. tshah Nov 8, 2019

Then it’s hard to negotiate unless you have a competing offer

SWE? Equity is very low if so.

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

SWE yes

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

2 YOE

TBC Corp. tshah Nov 8, 2019

L4 with 2 yoe is really good

When did you interview?

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

Does that matter? I interviewed in October

Microsoft Kumam Nov 8, 2019

I though there was a hiring freeze while you made it L4 with just 2 YOE.

Seems like an ok offer to me If this is a significant pay increase. you should be able to negotiate on stock and more sign-on. Tag google on your post so someone can give you better insights. Good luck

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

Thank you, it is a significant increase. And I don’t want to be greedy but I want to at least try to negotiate

IPsoft /bin/env Nov 8, 2019

True if it is then don't negotiate too hard.. they might have other candidate in the loop. I had an offer sometime this year but they ended rescinding it during negotiation because another candidate had accepted it. Well lesson learned the hard way

Masters, bachelors, or PhD?

Dialpad runnermadd OP Nov 8, 2019

Bachelors

Bloomberg Enig16 Nov 8, 2019

Did you negotiate for that offer? They usually don’t include signing for L4 without competing.
