Received a verbal offer (still negotiable) from Upstart for L4 Analytics Engineer role. Where can I push further to bump the TC. Location: NYC Base: 170k Equity: 77k/year Performance Bonus: 15% TC: $272k Also getting a feeling that I was lowballed from L5 to L4. Can someone comment what the L5 band looks like? Current TC: $270k Yoe: 5 Note: No significant increase in TC but can no longer stay at current place due to forced RTO. Edit: Was able to negotiate it to 296k. #upstart #dataengineer #analyticsengineer #tech
That's about right for L4, probably not a whole ton of wiggle room (maybe a few thousand on salary?). A bigger increase will depend on moving up to L5
Yoe? L5 is senior and L6 is principal
You probably are being dojwnleveled. The opening I see is for senior (L5).
Congrats on the offer! Did you get an official one yet? Was wondering if the equity has a 1 year vest or 3 month?
great that you negotiated even without competing offer it looks like. congrats. L4 seems right to me. dont think this is a down level. i have yet to see a L5 with just 5 YOE here. im hearing new analytics teams are getting spun up so lot of potential to make an impact and have a fast track to promotion if your contribution has a direct impact on the future goals. chances of layoffs this year is going to be very low too for this team as these are new investment. welcome and all the best (if u took the offer)
What does entry level positions entail in terms of interview at Upstart?
Curiousā¦.What would an L5 offer look like?
Roughly 190k base, 100k/year equity, 15% bonus. Depends on cost of living in your geography
Thanks. Is 190k avg or HCOL?
OP did you end up accepting? Can anyone at upstart provide more insights on comp? I was quoted from recruiter for an L5 and L6 analytics role: L5 senior analyst: $220-230k total comp at $165 k base L6 staff analyst: $280-300k total comp at $200k base Is this about right? Bay Area location
Are you an engineer or analyst? If latter then i think its in line with average.
Yeah analyst. I see. I thought analyst and analytics engineer would be comparable in pay but guess not. Analytics engineers get paid way more
This company might not be long for the world. Look at their stock and earnings. The equity might not be worth much (or could be worth a lot if it makes a comback). Take the offer only if you beleive in their product.
