Hi Folks.
I recently got a offer from Salesforce Smts (Quality engineering). Below are my new and current tc from Amazon. I’m an Sdet at amazon and pls help evaluate my offer.

Current
Base 175K
Rsu 90K ( mostly due to stock appreciation)
Tc - 265K

New offer
Base 195K
15% annual bonus
Rsu - 260K - 4 years.
Tc - ~285k
Yoe : 11

Is this a low ball offer? Or this is the in range.

    Are you sure about the 20% part? Salesforce bonus is the same across levels and SMTS has 15% bonus

    BS. SMTS and LMTS get 15% bonus. 20% bonus starts at PMTS

    Besides that, it doesn’t look like a lot of bump from the existing TC. Your learning will decrease significantly and if you’re anything close to ambitious, this place will make you lazy af

      Exceptions are possible for 20% bonus. I had that as LMTS. However, even the 20% won't make up for the lack of refreshers.

      Also make sure you don't join a team that has a high test debt. Some teams spend 50% of their engineering hours fighting test failures from 2 decades of laziness.

      Guess who gets to deal with those? You. Especially since, as a noob who doesn't know how to pawn test failures on to someone else, you'll end up with all of them in your plate.

      FYI salesforce generates 10s of thousands of test failures every day. I would regularly log on to find 400 test failures to my name in the morning, assigned by a broken bug filer called Yoda or manually by overworked build masters. I could get rid of them literally in my sleep but it still takes a toll on life. As soon as your boss sends out that welcome message, you'll have a big target painted on your forehead. "I'll assign my test failures to the noob and not have to worry about it for 4 months. AWESOME!"

    Unless they increased the bonus recently, it's supposed to be 15%, not 20%
    SMTS offers can go slightly north of 200k, but you're already pretty close. Also, since they don't normally give our hefty RSUs, you're already looking at a pretty decent RSU award. Decent offer, I think.
    I was offered SMTS with 150k base, and 40k RSUs (yes 40k total over 4 years)
