Looking to get feedback from others in regards to my offer and whether it's fair. This will be with the Tanzu team. 6 YoE Base: $170k Annual Bonus: 12% (this is standard and can't be changed, at least for my level) RSU: $100k over 4 years Sign on: $20k #tech #offers #offer #vmwaresalary #vmware #vmwarebase #vmwarestock
why leave apple for vmware
Need to move out of state. VMware is fully remote.
Keep in mind the looming merger with Broadcom. This might affect VMware remote policy.
Great offer for MCOL location. Lowball if it’s for Bay Area or NYC.
Chicago
Good offer. Tanzu is relatively safe too.
There is a room for negotiation in RSU.
How much do you think?
I'm MTS3 in LCOL area. Base: $120k Bonus: 12% RSU: $150k over 4 years (rsu came from being acquired) This is just rumor, but I've heard Tanzu isn't the safest place when it comes to the broadcom acquisition. Could be wrong though.
For what it’s worth Hock Tan loves Tanzu apparently (lol) https://www.broadcom.com/blog/coding-for-the-future-of-united-states-national-defense
Tanzu powers Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service within vSphere. That should be safe. It’s the Tanzu that is used in multi-cloud support that has folks worried.
Brave soul to leave Apple now for VMware. But, I think if you join now, you’ll probably be ok for a couple of years. Fortune favors the brave!
Mental health is more important for me.
vmware is toxic AF. A lof of creeps from there came and joined zoom and bringing all their cronies from there and destroying zoom.
Great offer I think
Better offer than what I got 1.5 years back.
I’m a mts3 Base 180k When i joined at a mts2, rsu: 150k/4years No sign on Yoe: 5 Bay Area
Are there refresher at VMware?
Refreshers are rare these days due to the looming acquisition, it’s a big question mark as to whether folks will actually get refreshers during the upcoming august promo cycle but they certainly didn’t give out any (that I know of) during our Jan promo cycle. FWIW they also paused ESPP, citing the acquisition as a reason.
Stocks are joke, mine at Amazon were like 340k for 2 years
I've never seen an offer that vests over 2 years and the ones over 4 years only give 20% in the first 2 years
First 2 years is cash mostly
Nice. Congrats!
