Onsites and offers: - FB wanted to defer onsite until Jan, said no. - Qualtrics wanted to Def onsite until Dec. Said no - Goog rejected me, said I was close. Damn them - Salesforce offer: 150k Sal 140k stock 50k sign 15% bonus guarantee - amzn offer: 160k Sal 85 rsu 100k sign - msft one reject one offer, never got back to me about countering my other offers Neg: - countered Salesforce 170k 225k rsu - countered amazon 225 rsu - Salesforce responded 160k 175k rsu 75k bonus and bumped to senior position - amzn bumped to 150 rsu and 145k signing.

UPDATE: Amazon pushed me to give them another chance, and asked what would be enough renege on Salesforce. I countered 290k TC per year and they accepted. SDE II L5.
Are you lying?
“No leet code, didn't even know about it”
I was not aware of leetcode too and landed a fang offer
You got a “senior” position with 2 yoe?
Yes. 2 yrs 3 months to be specific. Granted I think senior at Salesforce isn't 1:1 msft, but the recruiter told me 62s are brought in below senior generally
OP, I didn’t get who wanted to defer onsite? You or company? How difficult were coding questions at FB and G? Do you mind sharing? Maybe DM. Thanks!
Both were company asks. FB said they didn't have headcount until January but wanted me to do onsite then. Qualtrics was just behind because of the ipo etc. They were crazy hard tbh. I actually don't know what went wrong at Google.. I thought I did very well. Can dm more
DM’ed.
These RSUs are per year right? Congrats!
God no. Total. 175k/4 with Salesforce. 150 shares amzn /4 which is about 225k/4 at market price
What did you get at the end for Salesforce? I can dm
I accepted Salesforces response to my counter. I summarized a bit there was more back and forth but listed what I ended up with
It was really good for your YOE. Congrats!!
How is the book fearless salary negotiation? Its like $50 on Amazon
Definitely worth 50. Think about it, for it to be worth it, you'd only have to learn something that brings in an extra 50 at any point moving forward to justify it. The chances you negotiate more than 50 negotiating with Josh Doody's plan is 100%.
I just read more closely. You got 75k for signing bonus?
Yes. Half signing half 1 yr in
