FRL Oculus Offer: HW, IC6, Bay Area, yoe 15yrs 190 base 360 RSU 20% perf bonus 60 sign on ———— TC: 333 (190+360/4+0.2*190+60/4) ———— Questions: Is it bottom of IC6 offer? How bad are the numbers? Suggestion on negotiations? *I’m expert at what I do* Current TC: 350 (location 25 to 35%, lower cost of living compared to Bay Area)
You could use one of those services, like levels.fyi where you talk to recruiters who help you negotiate your offer.
Do you think levels.fyi can be really used to negotiate?
Of course other than what all I am worth
Looks low. I think L6 Eng (Hw) you can try high 3s/low 4s. You’re getting lowballed as you’re not coming from Fang or some hot sh*t startup
Yeah we believe they are embarrassing lowballing
I don't know for HW, but for SW I've seen L4 offers this high
I hear you
Even if one can swallow the rsu and sign on bonus numbers (both seem at least 25% below par) that base is extremely low for your YOE and that too for bay area. If you a HW tech SME i would go for 220 base 500k rsu and 80k signon if they are open to negotiation. But it all depends on how desperately they want ur expertise. Fortunately or unfortunately with lot of yoe (i am 14 yr yoe and have been there) quite a few things have to line up - timing, key skills, how quickly they want the role filled etc
Did you take the offer? What was the final numbers OP
