Someone I know is expecting a level 62 Software Engineer. Can one expect to get similar comp to Core Product teams like Azure that I’m seeing here on Blind or do some teams have bigger budgets? How much stock and sign on to expect? No competing offers because they just started looking. Update: $146k base, sign on and stock are so peanuts - you can’t even buy a base Honda Civic with the sign on. Did they do poorly in the interview? What should the candidate counter with?
Why can’t you buy a base Civic ?
I think you can afford a Civic on that base.
You can buy six Honda Civics 🙃
Pretty normal. I got 145k base 30k stock and 20k sign on as lvl 61 and that's with competing offers that were significantly higher
Competing offer matters. Also if it's azure more budget I think. I got good stock + sign on for 61
So do you think my friend should not even bother to negotiate with no other offers? Or ask for a little more?
Should definitely ask for more. No harm in that
They were able to land an Amazon interview this week, so should be interesting...
Who are they?
