Help me Choose whether a lowball offer or not.
Hardware Engineer 2 role in Microsoft Redmond, WA. Don't know about level 59/60. Base : 110k Signing : 30k Stocks : 120k/not written Masters student with job offer from Intel Folsom. 1 year internship experience in Intel. Will graduate in May 2020. No job experience prior to this. Edit : Base 118k Stocks 130k/3.5y Signing :30k Annual Bonus : 0-20% Relocation : 5.5k Lvl60 Accepted it. #interview #career #hardware #Microsoft
What makes you think this could be remotely in the realm of lowball?
Base pay? More in Intel Folsom as compared to location.
What about stocks that Intel offers? What's the annual bonus percentage at Intel? A CEO could be making 80k in base and 10M in stock each year. Singular comparisons aren't fruitful any which way. If this is the first offer you should definitely negotiate, not because you've been remotely lowballed, but because first offers and generally not final offers.
this is standard university hire salary.
Any luck or pointers on how to negotiate?
Need a strong compete offer to negotiate.
What will you be doing?
For a university hire this is a solid offer. Intel will pay significantly less. Given the climate were in I’d take it in a heartbeat. There’s other hardware roles in the area now where you can jump ship if you’re unhappy after a couple years.
I got a bump in Payraise from lvl 59 to 60.
Agree w/ everyone else, curious why you think $260K TC is a lowball offer for 0 YOE?
$260k? That isn't remotely close to his TC.
That number coming from someone in Finance. Oh my 🤷♂️
160k is TC
Why not list your Intel offer as well?
Probably cos the base is higher but other components are lower.
Base : 91k Stocks 10k/4y Thats it. Location : Folsom, CA
toy got lucky!!!
Lol
Take it and look elsewhere once the shit is over, if it ever is within the next few years...
