Asking for a friend. She is a Visual designer with 1 year experience. Got an offer for Interaction designer role in a public company (1000-5000 employee) in the Bay Area. Wanted to see if you think how much should she negotiate: 107k Base 36k RSU Bonus up to 10% Thanks
Design recruiter here. ONE year of experience?? She better take that shit and run. I hired candidates who were making $80-$90k.
Holy shit. Can't possibly see how much more you can negotiate for because with only one year of experience that's a sweet ass deal.
Product Designer Manager at FB here (posting from my hubby’s account). All things considered this is a decent deal for a mid size company. As a one year visual designer, likely from a low salary agency (I have been there), and no competing offer, you don’t really have much bargaining power. Negotiate some sign up and/or relocation probably in 10-15k range maybe. Your primary focus should be on building up strong portfolio as soon as possible and jump ship in a few years. Welcome to Bay Area! Arguably the best place for designer career :) And yes in FB we cannot hire good UX designer fast enough. If you are L4/L5 working in Ads hit me up (so I can use my hubbys phone more often haha) for other orgs plz PM our recruiter upstairs (Gufrj40).
Thank you for the information. Really helpful.
