I told the recruiter that my expected compensation is about $390k (base+rsu) with $100k sign on bonus. He was fine with the comp but pushed back on sign on. If you had an offer from Google, what was your experience with sign on? How much did you get? My current TC, $395k. 8YOE with PhD.
If you have enough leverage everything is possible.
ict5 or ict4?
Why is your expected comp less than your current TC?
Did you tell the recruiter that you read about 100k signon on blind? And that everyones making 500k+ ? That should do it.
AFAIK, Google sign on maxes out at $50k
Not true. Close friends got 100k sign on at L3!
They are pretty stingy with sign on, don’t see 100k. But then if you have a competitive offer from a public tech company they might.
Why taking pay cut?
I was able to get a $100k signing bonus a couple of years ago because Facebook offered it (E4 offer). They said the normal limit is $50k, so they said $50k would be cash, and $50k would be a special equity grant vesting over one year. So it is possible.
