Cleared the interview with Argo ai for an embedded software engineer position 2. They want to make me an offer. They said I did really well in the interview. I currently don’t have any offers at the moment but might get one the next week. Spoke to the recruiter and he asked me my expectations and I said I’m unsure at the moment and I need some more time. Current TC:185k I’m looking at getting something in the $300-350k range. Any suggestions. He said the base pay is between 130 to 198k and he said he can’t pay the max because there is no growth if he said I get the max. Could I push for $190k and $150k stock? I have a lot of invested stock at lucid which is my only leverage at the moment. The reason I want a lot of stock is because I’m afraid they will tank after the IPO. Also he said the company is valued at $20B is this correct? Suggestions please. Thanks. Edit: 198k/30k/100k and 25k joining. Accepted

I have some experience with a tool chain they really need people experience with, which they explicitly mentioned in the interview.
Off topic but Did they ask LC questions for embedded sw role? I am trying to go for embedded software roles and trying to get more information on how the interviews are.
What do you mean by LC?
Leetcode (data structures and algorithms). Or did they ask device driver specific questions?
Company was last valued at “~13B” before the market tanked and the grant value will be estimated at 20B which is a cheap recruiting tactic. Consider the equity lottery tickets with a fraction of the value
Where can I find the actual value to negotiate with the recruiter. He says that the current value is $20B but I need him to admit it is not
The recruiters are programmed to value the RSUs at a 20B valuation. This is the 12.4B: https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/21/argo-ford-to-launch-self-driving-vehicles-on-lyfts-ride-hailing-app/amp/
OP can I dm you ?
Yes
Got an offer for SWEII recently, recruiter confirmed $198k base is max for L4. Also I think around $100k is max for RSUs, so a solid offer would be 200/100/$XXk bonus ($20-50k)
Is the 100k based off of 108$/rsu (20b)? Got a similar offer, about 4000 units
yep they've been preaching the 20B valuation a lot, $100k is based on that
congrats on the offer, how long did they take after onsite loop?
A week. They wanted to do it in 3 days according to the interviewer but the recruiter said they had a workshop.l so it took a week.
