Got an offer for the position of data scientist (non senior) in the Bay Area with the following: - Base 160k - Target bonus 10% - RSU 180k - Sign on 40k That’s puts me at about - Year 1: 260k - Years 2-4: 220k Can I do better or is this about right? Current TC: 160k YOE: 1 #linkedin #datascientist
Congrats on that TC bump. Looks sweet. All the best. How the job dynamics have changed in the past 10 years with the RSUs and what not for SWEs is mind blowing. I am phd + 10 YoE. TC 135K. 🙈🙆🏻♂️ My boss tells me I am being paid very well compared to rest of the team. Of course I don’t believe it but am sure others are in the same ball park. I should probably find a way to get out of this Mech engg jobs making peanuts.
I was just happy to be making 6 figures, but after seeing all the high TC numbers on blind I figured I might as well get on the train myself. Am I worth what they’re paying me? No idea, but I’ll take as much as I can possibly get 😂
Super like your comment. I joined this app few months ago. I too was happy making my TC till I joined this app and saw what’s really going on in the market. lol. It kind of burst my bubble. So that’s a negative with this app. But on the other hand it encourages you to not settle down and keep looking for that TC bumps. I am currently interviewing with three companies and hoping somebody will make an offer close to 170k+ in a LCOL. Fingers crossed that I get one soon. Not going to give up till i hit that number.
Was your 1 yoe at Cisco?
Yup about a year here
Could you please share your LinkedIn interview experience?
I interviewed for a non-machine learning data scientist role and for the phone screen and onsite I was asked - easy/medium sql questions like what you might find on leetcode - AB testing questions like how to design an experiment, determining power/sample size, explaining results like p value to a non technical audience - case study questions like how to evaluate a new feature Pretty standard stuff for anyone preparing for a data scientist interview imo
Thank you!!
That’s great for 1 YOE! Do you know what the TC is for someone with 5 YOE?
It probably depends on what level you come in at. But I would think for a senior data scientist that interviewed well you should be able to get at least a TC of 250k.
After the interview, how long did it take for the recruiter to get back to you with the results?
Do you have a PhD?

Do people underestimate E6 role at meta?
Looks like a good offer for 1 yoe. Do you have a PhD?
No PhD, but have a masters.
Maybe you can ask for more RSU base seems quite good. But I think it is a good offer even with masters.
