How to respond to this during onsite interview ? How do I break it down salary, bonus, stocks,etc. Data analyst 3 YOE Location California
Tell them that I can only give standard deviation as expected value will give away the whole (degenerate) distribution
You should do some research on the company and position. Get the top end and add some more buffer
It’s a mid size company. Nothing on Glassdoor for my data analyst position. Although data scientists, software engg there get $125k plus stock options
You give expected total compensation and make sure they understand that means base bonus and stock only
Every company looks at that differently. Some want your total compensation target, others are only asking about base. The way that I have been handling it is pushing it back by saying I’m sure the company is capable of giving a fair market value offer when the time comes and leave it at that. In the meantime, I will have done my research by the time an offer comes around and will know what the upper third range that I would be comfortable with. If for some reason they came in at a lower number, then it’s easy to get some pushback in that area saying that you don’t think that (fill in the blank) is in line with market value and you would propose (fill in the blank)
My on-site interview is more like a formality. I am expecting an offer from them after that.
Don’t answer it. Most companies won’t ask this and really shouldn’t. If you must answer, be sure you know the market rate. He who answers first, loses.
What is your current TC breakdown?
80k flat salary No stocks or bonuses Small sized company in Colorado
If you are making 80 now, give 4X as your expectation
