8years work exp. Master's from.top 5 engineering college in US How much should my base/ stocks/ signing bonus look like? Azure group. HR is expecting me to spit the numbers first.
Refuse to say the number first, put the ball in their court. “Due to past experiences and my current situation I don’t feel comfortable giving our salary expectations until first hearing your initial offer, I hope you understand.”
Thank you! This is a nice way of phrasing it...
8 years after Ms?
If your MS is from Carnegie mellon then it is as good as top 100.
care to explain?
Surprised you don’t know. I suppose you didn’t go to school in US. Carnegie Mellon has like 1,000 master students at all kinds of IT related departments through jointship etc. You don’t even need to take GRE to get into these programs, just money. This is different from their PhD program or regular CS masters. But most of masters from this school use that to their advantage. That is why you see so many masters from this school and their skills vary. I would judge them as top 200 instead of top 4. Bachelors is much tougher to get in not to mention PhD is top notch. Most of their masters can’t get into PhD program in the same school.
Don’t. Its a trap
