I’ve been at eBay for almost a year—I’m just a few months away from my cliff and getting about $25,000 in vested stock early this summer. I have an offer coming from Activision Blizzard today after I told them that their initial offer of 168,000 was too low they releveled the role. My current base is $185,000 and bonus is around $35,000. Do you all think the new level blizzard is updating me to will be high enough? I was basically trying to be a straight shooter and just give them my current numbers. I’m also looking to see if anyone has any suggestions on what to negotiate in terms of compensation or terms. I have a rare skill set and domain expertise and it sounds like they had a hard time finding other qualified candidates.
Not gonna lie. Blizzard has again (for the second year in a row) handled the raises and bonuses in very poor fashion. Be honest with them about your concerns and if they are honest back with you, you’ll have a better idea and proper expectation setting. If they come in with “oh the bonuses are great and you’ll be on the fast track to greatness” type of speak, tell them to fuck off.

You'd be taking a huge pay cut. Base salary is basically all you get at Blizzard. Profit sharing is unpredictable and dependant on the team you sign up with.
