Splunk offer evaluation for Senior Software Engineer P4 - TC Around 290K

Offer breakdown Base - 185K Bonus - 15 % RSU - 300K vested over 4 years Profile - MS degree 6 Years of experience Interviews were amazing and team is super happy with performance. Can I push for TC of 330K to 350K? I do feel that for Senior Software engineers that's a good range to target based on my research. Any thoughts?

Congrats on the offer! Do you mind sharing the interview details if you haven't signed the NDA? Can I DM you?

I do not think so. I believe that is top of band.

290k looks too unreal for a sr sw engg position. OP how much did you bump the offer ?

Any joining?

Dell 1221 Oct 21, 2019

This is a fake offer

Splunk HIcD60 Oct 21, 2019

I can refute @1221’s assertion. Splunk does in fact pay quite well. I’ve overseen several offers in this range in the last couple of months

Splunk usually does not negotiate but this is a good offer.

Intel PinkIsGrey Oct 22, 2019

Usually, base is difficult to move. May be 5-7%, but not more than that. What's the sign on? I recently got a similar offer and I could move the base by 7% and RSU up by 30%. Sign on by 50%. Remember rsu and sign on is always floating. companies are not very adamant on it. If you ask base more, they might not be able to help you.

Salesforce aw3some Oct 22, 2019

What was your offer?

Riverbed Technology ilakat_mafaliya OP Oct 22, 2019

@PinkIsGrey there is no sign on component in the offer. It's only base, RSU and 15% bonus that were given to me.
