In my opinion you should negotiate on base pay a little for sure.

How much do you think is reasonable to ask for? I don’t want to be too aggressive And thanks for replying back

Is this the first offer they presented without any negotiation?

2 YOE overall? Impressive for SDE3. Do you have Masters and work ex before Masters. Fellow T24 here, 5YOE overall (2.5 after Masters), 132k/120k making it 185k TC, but this is in Austin, Tx

Nope I was pretty surprised too haha I think I just did really well during the interviews and the team seemed to like me

Oh man right out of bachelors with 2 YOE, you must be good. Congratulations! I know T24s in SJ making 215-220, may be your exp played a role in 178k TC? Nevertheless, great TC at your level. It can only get better.

These days people get so much for 2 YOE ? Really ? It took me 12+ years to get there!

Hey I’m pretty surprised too haha, i didn’t think I would be making this much so soon I’m really interested where and when you started working. Have you been at PayPal for a while now?

Long story. As you can tell, I started my career a long time ago. Country switch , career switch from Engg to non Engg, PayPal for ~ 3 years
