In bay area. Senior staff engineer. Yoe:18. Group: 5G and Cloud. What should be base expectations, bonus, RSUs and joining bonus if any. Also grade 9 is good for 18 yoe? Thanks. #junipernetworks
Base 190, bonus 25, RSU 30k / yr. 9 is a terminal so you won’t have any growth
Keep looking and stay away from Juniper!
Also guys, what is grade 10 role at juniper? Is it director level or Sr./ Principal staff/chief architect?
Grade 10 is principal eng / director
Why would someone join Juniper if the total compensation is so low compared to similar tier companies. It seems lower than even some good startups in bay area. Is there any reason they haven't revised their pay scale ?
What is the range of base salary in bay area for Sr. Staff Engineer?
I would gauge the TC to be somewhere between 300-350 for a non FAANG company. As people mentioned, Juniper sounds too stingy on RSUs. The base is closer to usually 200-220 range for Sr. Staff +15-20% bonus and 60-100k in RSUs roughly for ~12-15 YOE. I think YOE after certain level matters less compared to your skills.
165k-200k, 20 percent bonus. Grade s based on the requirement. It s usually very hard to play that role if you don’t have similar experience, profile
