I'm an IC 6 at Oracle, been here at that level for ~3.5 years, had joined through an acquisition . I had a really great onsite round recently and expecting an offer ... any guidelines on what to expect? I know there was a recent comp adjustment /rethink at Uber ... I'll appreciate any insights. Thanks!

If the stock does well during/post IPO before lockup expires that 500K TC could easily reach 600K but yeah, still a bit of a reach.
Honestly you may want to ask to come in at Senior Staff level if you're really looking for that kind of TC (even then that's a lot unless you're coming in from an acquisition) but then there's so few Senior Staff (less than 5 or so in the company) and I'm not even sure if they hire at that level.
Hope that helps a little. Basically coming in from acquisitions will always be where you make the most $$ IMO. That or join company pre IPO and they really make a large magnitude increase in valuation before going public.
FWIW there's about 40/50 Staff engineers right now in a 2.5k Eng org.
2.5 is pretty crazy, didn't realize that was being given out.
