Should I negotiate
Just received an Offer at Redfin SDE 1 for Base: $136,000 Stock: $17,125 (/over 4 years) Bonus: $5,000 Relocation: $2,500 Location: San Francisco Years of Experience: 0 The company seems nice and the pay looks good to me since it's more than I made before, growing up poor and all, but I want to make sure I'm not being lowballed. I'm deep in the interview process with about 4 other companies, should I negotiate the offer? Am I being lowballed #redfin
https://haseebq.com/my-ten-rules-for-negotiating-a-job-offer/ Check levels.fyi You can ask for $15k more at the end like "I really love x, y, z about the company & I think it's a great fit, I'll cancel all other interviews & sign right now if u can bump the equity up by $15k a year." $15k isn't coming out of the recruiter's paycheck, they'll gladly spend $15k of the company's money to close you ASAP.
There’s almost always 10-20% more to squeeze from an initial offer.
Always negotiate. Don't be ridiculous, but ask for a reasonable bit more, worst that happens is they say no. I'd ask for more stock.
In this case how much would extra stock would you ask for?
