I have 12 years development experience and got this offer from MS Base $125,500 Sign on $10k Stocks $15k I make $145k base right now. Please let me know if this is a real low-ball. Thanks
It is real shitball

Sounds like youâre loosing money since a raise isnât guaranteed. Did you ever give them your target salary?
Yes, I asked for $155k even before the process started
That sucks, Iâd maybe expect that from a small start up trying to leverage equity. Are you changing your tech stack or something? Definitely ask for a higher offer unless youâre desperate. I can intro you to some other companies if you want. Shoot me a PM
Dude go for senior
Tell them thatâs not even close to your current salary. Itâs often easier to get more stock and cash than salary, though Iâd argue for all three in your case, and shoot for WAY higher stock
Yup, that's what I will try doing. Thanks
Very similar to mine but I got a bit higher sign on and stocks. I had half the experience though. And I had a lower salary so I took it. My recommendation would be to negotiate but if they wonât budge, decline.
Any recommendation on what's reasonable to ask for sign on and stocks. Also does it seem like level 61 or 62?
What's the cap?
Donât go for it. I did the mistake of joining under level because I didnât know any better, and I regret it. No matter the experience, youâll be the junior/mid-level person. If youâve got the experience and did well on the interviews, demand senior position.
Start negotiating.. You should be able to get to salary of 140+ and sign on bonus + stocks in 150k range.. Just tell them u have offer from Amazon or fb..
Seems like it
