I was contacted by a Meta recruiter for Business Engineer role and while discussing things I made a naive mistake of letting the recruiter know my current compensation (190K) and said I'd at least expect a 20-25% hike in it. At this time I was not interested in the role so much and in my head I was thinking I'm never going this way. Cut 2: But I interviewed for the role and just received a verbal offer today. Now the thing is, my recruiter is quoting what I had mentioned and saying that's what they can offer. How terrible is my situation? I have a verbal offer from another employer and it's around 260K. But I don't have anything in writing. How should I be doing the damage control and negotiating this offer? I researched about the role after initial recruiter call, I was shocked to see this role being compensated with something around 280-340K bay area. Any help/suggestions/guidance is welcome. I'm ready for some friendly bashing too for the blunder :p TC : 190K Yoe: 2 #tech #ibm #meta #swe #bayarea #salarynegotiation #compensation
Say you have a competing offer, throw a number. Be ready to walk away. It sucks to be in your position. It’ll suck even more if you suck up and take it
where do you get that info BE get 340k in Bay for 2 yoe? they get paid less than SWE and swe hardly get 340k at that yoe. And SWE is on freeze atm
I did a poll on blind and got those numbers.
People might troll on the blind
280-340 TC is really high for BE , that's even high for swe with 2 years experience
😅
What does a business engineer do?
If this is for E4/IC4 then the range is 260-360(maybe more but I know someone making 360). But this includes sign on.
And YOE: 2-3
What was your initial offer breakdown ?
Recruiter isn't very open about the break down. I'm meeting them next week
