Which location? What is finance engineering? Are you a software engineer - do you build distributed systems? What will be your role?

Looks good on the stock, but I think that's median for cash. $135k should be possible, I think. HUGE Disclaimer: My info is about a year old.

Do you feel there is any wiggle room on the base? I was expecting 135K as the base.

According to what I have, it should be, but they may have changed things as well.
