Asking for a friend not on Blind Offer1: Illumina Inc, Foster City CA Senior Software Engineer 155k base + 10k year end bonus + 30k stocks(4 year vesting) Offer2: JPMorgan, JC VP 165k base, ~20k bonus Yoe: 10 years Considering high cost of living in Bay area but a better role and future opportunities what do you guys think is the best. #engineering #offer #illumina #jpmorganchase #seniorsoftwareengineer EDIT: Updated JPMC verbal offer numbers Illumina lowballed and JPMC upped JPMC offer seems lucrative looking at the cost of living in Bay area. What you guys think?
These are not good offers for 10 YOE. Excluding fang and tier 1 most other places in tier 2, startups or below should be hitting you close to at least 300K
Moving is a headache. But compare to work in a bank as tech. Moving is only one time struggle.
Only 30k stocks ?
Don’t go to bank as software engineer
Why?
I was working in tech division of IB front office. Overall not good comparing with tech companies.
