During the initial call the recruiter mentioned the compensation rage for the Data Scientist position was 120K at the company, plus stock and bonuses. Can I negotiate for higher base pay in this case? This is my first salary negotiation out of PhD and anyone interested in helping me out in the process is greatly appreciated. #datascience #data
I am still in the process of interviewing for other companies and they are willing to offer competitive packages and even sign on bonus as well but I am interested in working for this company. Would this company be willing to negotiate on the word over made offer?
If you want higher base specifically, that might be tougher. My advice is to start with TC that makes you happy, then have a conversation with recruiter about how to reach that. Often base salaries have much stricter bands than bonus/stock
Thank you for your response. So, dumbing it down, you are saying, negotiate on bonus and stock options? I am also wondering if there are any other options besides stocks and bonus?
