Hey Blind community asking for a friend who’s recently been offered a role with Tesla and wondering:

1. Is this offer is worth moving internationally to Fremont and the pressure of the role given the total TC.

2. Is Tesla a real resume booster?

3. Given the recent jump in stock, is it still a good time to join?

The offer is for Senior Mechanical Engineer

PhD + 6 YOE
Offered TC: 170K (125 base + 175 RSU)

    Honestly this is the first time I am impressed with the TC numbers at Tesla
    170k with 6 YoE (with PhD) sounds more than fair.

    Try to negotiate a little. But a breakdown will be helpful. Don’t expect much Appreciation in the stock and you may be positively surprised.

      I have friends at who are mech engineers at Waymo, fb, google, MS, applied materials… all make atleast 150k base .. friend who was in KLA jumped to applied and got a bump … none of them have phds

      Phd + 6yoe - 150k base should be reasonable.

      Do you have any data points for 150k base at any traditional OEM?

      I believe your data points because all the companies you mentioned are known to pay lot better than regular ME companies. Tesla is definitely not one of them.

      take those handful companies out and see the average.

  • 1. I think your friend has room to negotiate TC

    2. I'm sure your friend would have an easier time jumping to another FAANG company from Tesla than their current employer

    3. This is the most uncertain, do you think it'll continue to rise or a collapse is imminent? I'm honestly curious what Blind thinks. Personally I'm really unsure either way.

  • Where is he/she moving from?
    Telsa is growing alot and their recent jump will continue to grow with small hinderances here and there, which is there for every company.
    Also what is the breakdown of his/her TC.

    Don't join. You will regret. No work life balance. Rather play $TSLA options and you will make your salary in few trades

    • That.

      Not everyone lives simply for TC. Yes, WLB can be bad there, but if one can manage there knowing that caveat, the learning and resume boost is big!

  • On March 2020 I was offered $175k base and $200k RSU. In after split pricing, that was $156 per share. Looking back - that was a good offer. Looking forward - is it a $2T company?
