How is this offer from Spotify and is there anywhere to push? My interview feedback was all positive, but I was downleveled. Is level something I can negotiate on? And can I use other offers or internal level/promo as leverage? I'm willing to walk away from the offer, so I want to see if I can push them a bit if possible. Level: DS II Base: $165k Equity: $200k / 4 years TC: $215k Location: US YoE: 5 years #spotify #datascience
I heard the level can’t be changed once it’s decided at Spotify loop
Does Spotify adjust remote salary depending on location COL?
When I interviewed I was told it’s 1 salary for the entire country. No COL adjustment
+1 to Rocket Central. No location adjustments
How are they hiring in this market 🤔
That's solid for 5 YOE. Negotiate as much as you can and accept the offer. Learn and grow for the next 2-3 years while the tech industry is sorting itself out. Then jump ship for 300-350k+ salary
I'm worried about career progression with the downlevel. The offer is an increase because Square stock went 📉 but my current role has greater scope
I honestly don’t think there’s much a difference between the two
You can push for higher level, depends on your interview performance, if you were borderline
Ty! The recruiter did say I was borderline with possible quick career progression, but it sounds like standard recruiter speak to me
IMO, if that’s the case, I think negotiate the TC and discuss development plan soon after onboard. You can probably get more after promotion using this way!
Hi OP! Which team are you interviewing with?
What the location?
No cash bonus?
OP are you a L5 DS at square or MLE?
I was told they can push up to 235 TC for DSII. I was down leveled too and I declined
