update: Disney offer got upped to 110 base, 133 stock (extrapolated from 100k/3 years), 30k signing-- everything else still applies. Updated post is here: https://www.teamblind.com/post/fY4Rh56t Currently deciding between two new grad offers: Disney (Seattle): 106k base, 106k stock*, 26.5k signing, 7% target bonus, 25% additional bonus** Google (Mountain View): 142k base, 100k stock (33/33/22/12), 15k signing, 15% target bonus (ie. standard new grad offer) Could I potentially negotiate any aspect of my Google offer using my Disney offer? I know MV has a higher CoL than Seattle, but I'm still pretty sure Google still beats Disney even after accounting for that. Otherwise, I'm thinking of asking for a higher signing bonus (still interviewing with other FAANG companies, but if Google raises it by some amount, then I'll sign immediately). Not sure that'll work, esp. since I'm just a new grad w/ virtually no leverage, but I think it's worth trying. * technically told 79.5k per 3 years, but extrapolated to 4 for comparison purposes ** this bonus is for tech employees at disney. it'll be paid out as additional RSUs. not sure if this is separate from RSU refreshers. #google #disney #hulu
Just say something like give extra 15k signing, and I drop all other onsites and sign right now.
It’s all about BATNA. Are you willing to walk away from your G offer?
Ultimately, no. I doubt Disney can really match Google, which is definitely a better place to work anyways. I'd just like to see if I could get away with a slightly better offer from them.
Ask for a higher signing bonus. You could say you’re getting a 26.5K signing bonus from a similar offer (but hold back or be vague on the other numbers) and you would be ready to accept right now if they could at least match that as closely as possible. You can’t go much higher on the base or equity coz otherwise you’ll fall into the L4 band
Google wants proof (ie. offer letter) of Disney's offer in order for me to negotiate w/ that. So I could show that Disney is giving me a 26.5k signing, but then I'd also show that Disney's base is much lower than Google's. Not sure if they'd budge given the overall picture. I was aware base is virtually non-negotiable but not about equity-- thanks for letting me know.
You might be able to go a little higher on equity but it wouldn’t be significant. Trying to get that bonus up is better. You can always say you can’t share your full offer letter or full details since it’s a pending agreement but yeah it would be a little tricky. I know friends at google who got away with it and then those that didn’t. You could try leading but with Id love to sign right now if the bonus could be bumped up. Disney is offering 26.5 bonus up front which would help with my personal situation. Basically try to be a little diplomatic and tactful.
Google >>> any day.
Disney is dog water compared to Google
Reposting this here because why not.. Just curious - any insight into the Disney Seattle team interview process? Currently in the middle of it, just want to know what to expect :) Already had a phone call, and a virtual one on one with HM, just waiting for a team interview I think.
My Hulu intern interview process was coding challenge -> call with recruiter -> final round-- probably not very helpful for you, though. I got a return offer, so I never went through the new grad interview loop. Good luck!

Google any day over disney.
That's what I was thinking, but could I use my disney offer to negotiate any aspect of my google offer up?
Max you can do is stock and sign on bonus match. Nothing else since Disney is below all other metrics.
