title: sr software engineer(full stack) location: Chicago yoe: 9 base: $157.5k target bonus: 10% benefit: 401k matching 6% + additional 6% matching signing bonus: 7.5K this firm seems very profitable. last year they paid 110% of target bonus. so if my target is 10%, then my bonus is 11%. Any thoughts on this offer? ------ Update This job interview is thru a recruiting company. I asked the recruiter $160k, 15% bonus, $10k signing. But the company denided. So the recruiter said he would give me $2.5k frim his commission. Thanks for replies!
Pretty solid offer.
so a downtown Condo costs $200k, you will be good.
The bonus seems a bit weak for being a financial firm, otherwise that's pretty good
For Chicago, this is gold. Accept it!
I got same TC plus much larger signing at a small prop shop w/ ~3yoe. Can get that bonus and signing up
Yea solid for Chicago, nicely done, but bonus is low. You’d probably want it indexed to company performance more directly.
role, division, and job responsibilities?
Great numbers for Chicago. Congrats. I have been in and around Chicago for almost 10 years now but mostly in subburbs. With kids lot of good suburbs but downtime life is so nice during the summer. Stay in downtown if no kids... Else subburbs.
Things to consider are weather and crime. I few weeks ago the temperature was -66F with windchill.
Crime is only in the south side. Weather it's not every year we have a polar vertex. But usually winters are colder but you will get used to it.
Chicago is surprisingly low col. pretty good
It’s also surprisingly cold af, keeps the costs down amirite
