Currently a contractor at T-Mobile at 150 base, nothing else.
Now have an offer in-hand for FTE:
Base: 130
Bonus: 19.5 (15%)
RSUs: 10 (3 year vest)
So, TC is like* ~$150
Lower than I expected … what's everyone else seeing?
*Saying "like" because I have no idea how reliable bonuses are

Also: a bonus feels wildly dependent on lots of factors outside an individual's control.
* What I countered with:
base - 165
bonus - 19.8 (12%)
grant - 20k yearly
starting bonus - 20k
I positioned the counter based on the expected impact + ROI over 3 years (plus market realities, past comp, and partnering role comp). While this seems like a reasonable way to frame the value, maybe a little hard when salaried roles are viewed closer to commodities.
Thanks for the input everyone!
