Bloomberg Offer Evaluation

Nov 20, 2019 10 Comments

Can someone help me evaluate this offer from Bloomberg?

Qualifications:
Master’s Degree in CS
3 YoE

Offer:
Title: Senior Software Engineer
Base: 170K
Bonus: 30K
Location: NYC

No other competing offers at this time.

I initially negotiated from 160K TC to the above offer. Is there any more room for negotiation?

UPDATE:

I ended up accepting this offer. I didn't try to negotiate for more TC, instead, I tried to get a better split (180K Base/20K Bonus), but they wouldn't budge.

Even though I didn't have competing offers, I still had some leverage. I was working at Bloomberg as a contractor for the past year on a project that is important to the team I will be joining. I used that info to negotiate up from the initial 160K offer. I didn't mention this in the original post because it would have revealed my identity to anyone in Bloomberg's HR team. It was a long shot, but I didn't want to risk it.

Thanks to everyone that commented with advice. I hope this helps others in their negotiations with Bloomberg.
