VMware india negotiations

Hi, I have cleared VMware tech interview they are ready to offer me MTS3 role. YOE - 5 years Current company compensation is 12 + variable. Have an offer from Cisco for software Engineer 3 Total : 23.5LPA Base 21.2( including PF) JB: 2.4 L Bonus: 2.4L No RSUs. What's the maximum band which VMware offer for MTS3? Couple of other company(Goldman sachs and Amazon) interview is going on parallely. Looked at different posts on VMware MTS3 offers. They all vary. Edit: got an offer for 30 base +12% bonus and 45K $ RSUs. 4L Signon Recruiter said, this is the final offer can't make any further changes. #engineering #MTS3 #vmwaresalary #vmware#software #swe

Vmware offer will be a combination of base+bonus+RSU. So, it could be a scenario where your take home could be lesser than the offer you have in hand. But on the upside, you will get about 25% of your RSUs every year. So make sure you crunch in your numbers carefully before you decide on the vmware offer. Also the benefits like Car lease etc are non existent here in Vmware. Cisco has a, pretty decent car lease policy. So make sure to factor all this

Is it possible to share the range that I can look for?

VMware VeeYumWere May 29, 2021

I got base- 22 LPA bonus - 2.64 LPA and RSU 22 LPA vesting over 4 years. I'd say it was 30 LPA INR

They can compensate upto 50 if your counter offer is good enough through sign on bonus..try to get counter offer from series A-C startup

Ribbon Communications iqxq45 OP May 29, 2021

Thanks, couple of interviews going on.

You can ask for 33L base, 37,500USD, variable and all should come between 45-50LPA. Don’t forget to negotiate for JB also maximum of 20% of base. They will law ball the offer first

VMware VeeYumWere May 29, 2021

Vmware Hrs lowball like nobody's business. Be very smart in negotiating with them

Ribbon Communications iqxq45 OP May 29, 2021

Thank you. I will take your input to consideration 😊

Variable I guess you don't get 100 percent?

Ribbon Communications iqxq45 OP Jun 5, 2021

Not sure. May be depends on company performance.

Hey OP. I recently got an offer from vmware(india). here are the offer details(in INR): YOE: 4.8 Role: MTS3-UI base: 25L bonus: 3L ( 12% of base component ) PF: 1.5L Medical and other claims: 60K RSU: 19L ( vested over 4 years ) CTC:49L But my design round did not go well. if you do well in all rounds then you can go till base 28L, 3L JB and RSUs upto 30L.

Ribbon Communications iqxq45 OP Jun 24, 2021

Is 100% bonus paid out? Any idea @vm..where?

VMware vm..where? Jun 24, 2021

Yes, most of the times if the performance is meets the expectations. Only once an yr ago bonus was given 80% across company

Amazon osJg67 Jun 19, 2021

Do you they increase if you negotiate ..which component do they increase?

Ribbon Communications iqxq45 OP Jun 24, 2021

I negotiated more on base. When they didn't increase, then tried negotiating on stocks and signon.

Amazon osJg67 Jun 24, 2021
