I am about to get an offer in the next days for a SWE position level 62 in Vancouver and I was wondering if it would be feasible to ask for a TC of around 250k - 260k CAD for this level. I have 2 offers from EA and Mcafee but those are less than and equal to 200k. I had solid interviews and good feedback. Is there a possibility to get my offer rescinded if I ask for too much?

Nope. Upto 220k is fine. They’ll likely push you down to 200. They might give you a larger sign-on bonus to make up for the rest temporarily. That is, if you show a similar competing offer
220-230k is totally doable.
Had an offer for 240k USD.
I’ve never heard of an offer being rescinded just because the candidate asked for more money. At worst they’ll just say no and leave the offer standing. Also lol at the comment saying they pick another cheaper candidate, that’s not at all how hiring at these companies work.
Thanks for the reply… how is the wlb at EA?
It depends on the team, but generally it’s pretty good. It’s much better than you hear from people outside the org.
170-190 max if lucky then upto 215k What’s your current breakdown? If you ask too much they will give offer to someone else who is in their budget and had similar interview performance. That’s why companies keep 2nd preferences
