FB decided they’re moving forward with an offer for M1 (level 6). Google is giving me the answer early this week (expecting it to be positive).

Now FB wants me to tell them my comp expectations. First question: should I really give them a number? What would be a good negotiation strategy?

My TC at Apple has been ~600k for the past two years. I’ve been thinking of asking them to match my unvested stocks (~600k), a base salary of $240-250 (my target is $230), and I’m open minded about a hiring bonus.

Are these numbers realistic?

    I’m a recruiter at Facebook. Giving the recruiter zero information as they go to the comp team to put your offer together is the worst thing you can possibly do. It takes longer to get what you want and does you no good. If they go in with zero information, they put an offer together based on a market assessment which may or may not hit what you want.

    They can’t ask your current salary (and won’t) but you can give them ammo to work i.e. comp expectations, invested stock, bonuses you’ll be missing out on, competing offers. All of that information is wildly helpful to the recruiter in getting you an offer you’ll actually take.

    You should give a number at 10-20% higher than what you make at Apple saying that’s the minimum to even consider FB and say you want the offer to reflect your skills and abilities adequately.

      I agree. This is good advice.

      Take salary and multiply by 10-15% and equity by 20-40% depending on comfort level (equity has the biggest rage in negotiation).

    600k rsu is low forM1. Ask for 1m or at least 800k. Otherwise it will be a significant pay cut to you, right?

    From what I understand reading Blind the L6 and M1 packages do not differ - therefore those numbers seem perfectly within reason. Definitely check levels.fyi for validation though.
