Current TC: 44k (not US) YoE: 4 I've got two SWE offers. Help me pick / negotiate. IBM: TC: 38k PRO: Would be working on parts of IBM cloud which I think is much more valuable experience then what Morgan offers. CON: TC sucks! Heard a few bad things about them. I think it's still better than to work for "New". Morgan Stanley: TC: 47k PRO: Much better offer than IBM's. CON: Would be working on a much smaller scale project. TC is at least higher than current but not much. If IBM would match Morgan's TC I think I would pick IBM because the work sounds more exciting. On the other hand I heard bad things about IBM's culture and I liked the things I've heard from Morgan. Also some of my friends work there. Should I try to negotiate the IBM offer? If so, how and what should I do? I've already told them it's lower than my current TC. I did extremely well on their interviews so I was surprised by the low ball offer. Should I just straight up decline them and join Morgan? #swe #tech #ibm #morganstanley #offer #negotiate #negotiateoffer
Dude, you're being underpaid unless you're a currency conversion champ.
It's not US, I did convert :)
Is this in India? Which team in IBM public cloud?
I would assume so as this is really low for any US-based tech job, even in a LCOL area.
Tell IBM you need 47K show them the MS offer. Working on IBMβs cloud is better for your career. IBM can do 47K if they want you. Also tell them you have a phone screen with AWS, lol. That should get them to move faster.
Not sure about the AWS phone screen part, but I'll do what you suggested and see what happens. I agree with you, working on IBM's cloud is going to be way more beneficial for my career than developing some internal tool.
Negotiate with MS counter offer in hand! Managers have budget for this...
@op.. Did you negotiate with IBM? What you decided?
@OP ..if india offer out TC in INR only..that ll help to get good suggestions
