I recently accepted a new grad offer for Two Sigma (engineering). After seeing a few posts here about TS offers, I'm second guessing myself if I negotiated correctly. The offer I negotiated up to is (ranges for pseudo-anonymity): Base: 140-155k Bonus: 80-90k (guaranteed first year) Sign on: 90-105k Also should I expect to negotiate a raise/promo after a year or so?
Looks good to me
Please tell me this is a joke. My offer was much shittier. What kind of competing offers did you have? Citadel and Jane Street?
I had a returning intern offer from one of the two and that allowed to me negotiate the sign on bonus. Was your base and bonus roughly in the same ballpark?
Everything except the base was like half yours. I had top tech competing offers but no finance competing offers.
You’re getting TC of ~$230K plus a sign on bonus of $100K for a mighty 1.5 years of internship experience and you’re second guessing yourself? Kids these days!!
This is the top end new grad offer, what posts are you talking about?
I saw this post https://us.teamblind.com/s/oqkiaaqG with a 400k TC for L5 and I'd assume L3/new grad would be at most ~100-150k off.
That's not how the industry works, take a look at levels.fyi for tech companies
Is this a humble brag LOL like when kids in highschool were like "i did so bad on the exam i only got 97%!"
Why is there a range in all of these numbers, including the base?
Doesn't want an HR snoop identifying. OFC, it's probably identifying as-is
Looks about right to me, perhaps slightly on the higher side even
How the hell is this possible. Who are these employers who pay that to grads when they can relocate a 10 YOE senior engineer from abroad for exactly half the price? (Apple brings seniors and leads for 110-120k [I know these people] from abroad, at times). Why would anyone pay you that at all??
These offers are pretty common in faang, top unicorns, and top finance firms tbh
That's good day zero stuff. Knock it out of the park and you can see L1 -> L2 in about a year.
Do you know what the average time for each level promotion is at TS?
The joke is years x current level, but a top performer can rise a little quicker. I wouldn't expect an entering L1 to see L4 in 3 years, but under 5 wouldn't be surprising.
Assuming you are coming in as level 2 SWE? That is a solid offer at that range. If you do well there is a lot of log-term upside. How many YoE?
0 full time but about 1.5 years of internship experience and had a solid competing offer from a competing firm.
In that case you’re getting overpaid. Congratulations!
