Starting salary at NYC startup out of college
I'm graduating college in a few weeks and recently accepted an offer at a Series B Fintech startup in NYC as a Data Engineer. Base is 90k, benefits are approximately 25k, plus RSUs equivalent to ~1 basis point. Is this a good offer? I feel that they might have low-balled me during the negotiation. If they undervalued me, what should I do?
Base should be higher, 90k with nonliquid paper money won’t go very far in NYC
This is what I'm finding out before I have even moved... not sure how bankers survive on 75 without good benefits until the bonus hits a year later
Eh doesn’t seem too bad for a start up. Best thing to do is have competing offers or just ask for more.
Unfortunately I didn't have any competing offers at the time. I think this is why they were able up drive down the salary
Base could be higher. What was the series b valuation and how likely do you think the company will grow/succeed. Do they have buyback plans?
