Software Engineer II - 125K base, 10% bonus, no stock YOE: 3yrs Location: Akamai HQ in Cambridge, MA. Being promoted to Sr. SE-I in the next few weeks due to my contributions in designing, programming and leading key aspects of the project which were very well received. I was chosen over a few Sr. SE-IIs (it was awkward) for these responsibilities but we delivered high quality under me which really pleased the management. Anyhow, what kind of compensation increase should I expect and how hard should I negotiate? Also, market-wise I feel my current compensation is on the lower end of the SE-II band at the moment, what do you think?

Best LCOL or MCOL city?
What was your jump like from I to II at Akamai?
I joined Akamai as SE-II last year. Prior to that I worked at another tech company for 95K base, 5% bonus & no stock for 2 years which was my first job.
Hmm, if I had to guess akamai offer will be between 160-180k TC. I'd suggest interviewing elsewhere once you get that title bump, you can potentially double your current TC.
