They will get back to me today with update. santa clara based position.# Akamai
Don’t take sse1 with 10yoe. You need sse2 minimum. Is that 60k yearly rsu or is that the full grant?
Avg offer for Boston as well ... pay between Boston and Bay Area are almost same now
I had a very similar offer few years back and took it. Sr 1 was offensive to me but I had my reasons. Fwiw getting sr2 from sr1 is not a big deal. Getting principal is hard and getting hired as principal is harder.
Do they provide the refresher every year ?
I feel like it is a very good offer for Boston area. Maybe average offer for bay area. Did you end up getting senior 2?
