Received a written offer for SWE-3 at $246k TC. I negotiated a tiny bit verbally, and agreed on these numbers, which were then “sent for approval”. After seeing some of the posts here I’m wondering if I can still negotiate? I’ve seen people post offers of $280k TC. Location: MCOL, hybrid Blind tax: $180k
What’s the negotiation leverage? “I saw on Blind people posted bigger TCs”?
Essentially, yes. Have final rounds with two other companies, but haven’t gotten to offer stage yet. But I can’t really tell them “let’s wait until I have these other two offers, then I’ll be in a better position to negotiate.”
You can keep it vague and say your evaluating offers and are very interested in two
Seems better than what you have?
Correct. Did you not negotiate when you received an offer from Meta?
Congratulations 🎉 what were the interviews like? Leetcode medium/hard? Any topics stood out in the coding round? I have the first coding round soon and it'd be very helpful, thank you!
The coding style interviews were LC medium, definitely not hard. There’s an emphasis on actually writing classes to solve realistic problems, rather than simply implementing a single method to solve some unrealistic, obscure problem.
Thank you for sharing Recruiter specifically said leetcode style to me so as long as it's not crazy hard I should hopefully be fine 🤞 90 min system design sounded like it'd be crazy in depth. Did you have the same?
So you made a mutual agreement and then as soon as they agreed thought you’d turn around and say “actually, I want more, just because”…? If I were the HM, I’d turn that offer into a rejection so fast lol
I did exactly this and ended up getting what I wanted
I know 1 person who got what they wanted (2 with porpoise now lol) and 3 who were flat rejected for asking too high after initially asking lower
YOE?
240k at MCOL is actually pretty good for Eng 3 here.
Yoe? Congrats!
Not terrible for MCOL
I think it's great for MCOL. How was the interview process?
