Hello folks... I'll be getting an offer early next week or so for a STAFF Eng role. What should I expect w.r.t TC, RSU, sign-on bonus, relocation and other benefits? YOE: 12 I Location: Palo Alto Update1: Tesla sent me an offer: T.C $260k... 160K Base+ $400K RSU... Update2: I was able to negotiate: 180K Base+400K RSU.. I'm still pressing as I have two more offers. Update3: My last stretch: 190K Base+500K RSU.. That's their max offer. I feel like there's no more room for negotiation. What do you guys think? Update 4: 200K Base +500K RSU... I decided to go with TSLA. Nuro: 1st offer: 195K Base+ 26k stock option. Any comments on this? Thanks a lot in advance for your insights. #offer #tech #tesla #nuro
What?? But Tesla folks became millionaires no ??
From what I’ve heard from ex-Tesla folks, when stock was in the 200 to 300 range, TC was above average (they are all millionaires now if they held on to their stocks) but WLB was horrible
Hey u ain’t becoming millionaire for free
Also makes now a terrible time to join Tesla. From what I’ve heard their grants are still the same $ as always, so low # of shares. I don’t see a magic multiplier happening again.
Ok, so they're offering me 160K Base+ 400k RSU.. Is this a good offer for STAFF position? And, I asked for 185K base firm +700K in RSU.. What do you guys think?
Told you, they are a joke when it comes to pay. You will make twice that at other tech companies for that level.
Why are you not considering Zoox or Nuro?
The OP is considering Nuro....that’s what the OP is about.
Are you in software or hardware?
Hardware
Better join Nuro. How much paper $ does those options translate to ? (What's the stock FMV and strike)
FMV: $7.5 Strike price: $1.99

?
any update? do you choose Tesla Or Nuro?
Tesla pays peanuts. Just hope you are a die hard Elon Musk fan. This is how my conversation went with their recruiter. Recruiter: blah blah... so are you interested in setting up an interview Me: blah blah ... so what is the comp range for this level? Since my current comp is 500k, so I would like make sure that I don’t waste mine and Tesla’s time Recruiter: The average offer for senior is 230k, I know its less than what you are making, but you will get to work on very evolutionary projects. Engineers joining us are very passionate about the work we are doing here. Me: Sorry, this does not meet my financial goals. I am not currently interested. I will let you know if anything changes.
Lol not even directors at Tesla have 500k comp.
Lots of close friends at Tesla - please don't provide misinformation def directors at Tesla have TC of over 500k
