My friend got an offer for Backend Developer position Base : 130k Bonus: 10% yearly, performance based Equity: 35k vested over 3 years. YOE: 5 Location: San Jose He has got competing offers but he is keen on PayPal. What is the scope for negotiations?
Check out http://levels.fyi
Are the competing offers giving higher TC than PayPal?
No, not higher than PayPal but same ballpark. $125k base. Investment banking firm.
Your friend needs a faang offer then can negotiate with PayPal
What level position is this for ?
T23 or SE-II
135 base is bloody bonkers for SE2. Join at once.
I don't believe you could above 130k for T23. The stocks seem standard too.
I would argue for more equity, otherwise what is the point of a company doing well in market if unable to gain from it? If not prefer to have 10k more base and 0 stocks.
Ok PayPal fellows, I was getting 142K base when I was SDE2. Time has changed.
Your “friend” should come ask!
He is a recent graduate and not on Blind.
Recent grad with 5 YOE ??? Lol
