Hi Community, I need some advice and help of the offer I got from VmWare for Palo Alto location. The organization is NSX, could anyone please help me out about the culture, wlb and everything, not sure how this organization is. Current TC - 190k Seattle IC2 Offered TC - 195k Palo Alto MTS2 Work experience - 1 year 8 months. How much can I negotiate more!! I have been facing few issues in Oracle, and I want to leave ASAP. I got offers from SAP, Expedia, Cloudera as well. But numbers are around 160k TC. Please suggest what shall I do? How is organization, what numbers shall I ask them. Update - Interviews scheduled for Disney(2 diiferent team- one screening and one onsite), Twitter, CZI, Walmart. I guess more to come. #software #softwaredevelopersalary #softwareengineersalary #softwareadvice #califonia #seattle #compensation #salaries#tech
Tell them you got an offer for 241k TC and ask them to bridge the delta. Say you are much more excited about VMWare so they don't need to match it but your like them to narrow that gap for you. Since you want out of Oracle, this is a very soft negotiation strategy. You can ask for sweetness like Sign on, jumbo relocation package etc
Can I expect that kind of offer with 1 year and 8 months Exp, levels.fyi numbers says that 240k is more like a MTS3 offer. Not sure if I shall ask that high amount. Additionally, won't they ask about the offer letters or so.
It all depends on how aggressive you want to be and what you are willing to risk.. They rarely ask for offer letters, but it is always a possibility. If they do, just follow this: https://haseebq.com/my-ten-rules-for-negotiating-a-job-offer/ Good luck, bhai!
Make sure you take Cali tax into account when negotiating.
Yes I guess I gave the wrong numbers, I should have been careful in that term. Let's see how it goes
If you don't mind me asking, what issues are you facing at Oracle?
Does the tc include sign on? If not, what’s the breakdown?
No it doesn't. New TC breakdown - 1st year Sign on bonus 10k Relocation 10k Base 150k Rsu 25k 12% performance bonus Total 213k 2nd year onwards 193k I will be asking 230k since that's what I think would be best.
Wow.. looks like a great offer. Year back as a Sr.MTS I used to get 225K TC at VMWare with 9 years exp.
They may bump up stocks but hard to move the base Always TRY
Sure!! I will try that out.
NSX is a fairly old org within VMware. They seem to have a high attrition rate, do your due diligence about the team.
I’m in a similar dilemma as you lol, also at OCI
Go with Cloudera! Lots of potentials
Don’t join VMware
Just one advise, don't join SAP
Thank you!! I guess just because of how rude my recruiter was on my provided numbers. I wouldn't!! They replied with good luck!! This morning and I won't be even responding them back.
