Meta E5 SWE negotiation tips?
Hi folks, I passed the on-site and waiting for team matching (located in the Bay area). When I asked recruiter for compensation info, the standard number they gave is following. I have not done the team matching so this isn't official numbers but seems likely they may offer this. Base: 208k Bonus: 15% yearly (31,200) RSU: 575k / 4yr (so 143,750 / yr) Sign-on: None TC: about 382K Seems like the number is lower end of E5. I currently have 2~3 offers with TC much less than what Meta is offering. I might be able to get an offer from TikTok but not 100% sure and still waiting for results. Do you have any salary negotiation tips without competing offers? # #

Have you looked into salary negotiation service?
No.
They are lowballing everyone from e5 and below for 20% and their new front loading is shit
Its sad to see 380k being lowballed. I am also e5. 400 should be good. Don’t worry too much
Did you get a new offer? Were you able to negotiate without competing offer?
That seems quite low. If you have competing offers that’ll help
Problem is I don't have one at the moment and wondering if someone who joined recently was able to negotiate up without competing offers.
It’s now a norm
