Rate My Offers AWS Zoom Security

Apr 13 24 Comments

Hi all,

Please rate my offers. I have final round at Meta in the next couple weeks and Snap just reached out to me today. I also wonder if I should try and postpone current offers. These numbers seem reasonable to you?

Location: Remote US L/MCOL
Recent Company: Coinbase
Role: Senior Security Engineer
TC: 360k (413k year 1)
Base: 170k
Bonus: 17k (10%)
RSU: 175k
Sign-on: 51k
Note: Looking for a better boss and environment see https://www.teamblind.com/post/45-day-perf-pulse-off-track-WNsFjAVU I got an off-track and PIP at my 45-day review. Used to work for Amazon and never had an issue with any performance. Got back on track but can't stand my boss and the environment so recently sat on my hands to hopefully engineer an exit for severance while I interviewed elsewhere. Told boss I was looking elsewhere and a week later I was being let go for performance reasons. :) For those curious, severance is pro-rated stock for the quarter, 4 months base salary, and 4 months of cobra company paid premiums. Also got two job offers so I have that going for me which is nice.

Offer 1:
Company: Amazon Web Services
Role: Security Engineer II (interviewed at L6 but got down-leveled)
TC: 319k
Base: 184k
RSU: 283k over 4 years (92 shares)
Sign-on: 120k, 87.5k (year 1, year 2)
Negotiated: No
Note: Asked for 475 originally. Recruiter said not feasible. 450 was also not feasible. Recruiter said they cannot hit 400 because of location but could maybe get pretty close. I told her to do her best to see where they could actually come in and get back to me. I'm thinking they'll probably land in the 350-380 range if I had to guess.

Offer 2:
Company: Zoom
Role: Senior Security Engineer (interviewed at Staff but got down-leveled)
TC: 380k (398.7k year 1)
Base: 190k
Bonus: 8% 15.2k
RSU: $175k per year (700k over 4 years)
Sign on: 18.5k
Negotiated: Yes, not finalized
Note: Original offer 200k base, 8% bonus, 19k sign on, 150-162.5k RSU range given. I asked for 175k RSU. In follow up they said base salary based on my location is capped at 192k.

Which one would you choose?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses so far. This morning was the first time I woke up excited in many months.
