Got an offer from Salesforce and they are not budging with Base and Stock increase unless I show competing offers. But I don't have any. Salesforce SMTS. (Seattle) Base: 190k Stock: 200k for 4 years. Bonus: 15% New TC : 269k. Pros: Great WLB w.r.t Amazon. Liked the Team. No sign on given yet, trying to negotiate for signon. Appreciate your responses. Current TC: 225k SDE2 YoE: 4.5 yrs with Amazon Overall: 7
Received similar offer. You will need competing offer because equity and sign on require VP approval.
Base is pretty solid. You should focus in pushing for more stocks and Sign-on.
They don't budge on Stocks. They asked for competing offers and those which are more than 200k. Only then they could match it. I am trying to ask for sign on.. Do you know how much can we initially ask? I don't want them to run away if I give random numbers.
For sign-on highest I saw for a SMTS was 100k, but this was a point out of the curve. 30-50k is more realistic.
SMTS initial equity grant can go upto 400k if you have competing offers from respectable companies!
OP did you end up accepting the offer ?
do you have unvested stock at amazon ? Try to use that

Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
That’s very close to max smts offer for Seattle. You can try to push for LMTS.
My design went good, but not great. I am not sure if they will give me LMTS. I will try to ask. Is it worth it to go as LMTS amidst high expectations? Do you think they can add some sign on bonus?
What's the range for LMTS? 400k?
