Hi everyone, I just received a verbal offer from Bell Labs for a ML Research Scientist Position at Murray Hill, NJ. I am fresh PhD grad, and I am not sure if the offer is within an acceptable range or if I should negotiate further. I would appreciate your help! Base: 160K Relocation: 5K Sign on bonus: 10K Annual bonus: 12.5% of the base salary
You can probably ask for more sign on bonus.
Wow bell labs still exists?
Was also surprised, pleasantly though. Bell Labs and their alumni are legendary
lol, this Bell Labs has nothing but the name in common with that legendary org
If you are really good at Machine learning, you can do better than this. Try to negotiate while searching elsewhere. You shouldn't sell yourself short when you possess ML skills.
Depends on YOE, even with a PhD. For NJ, that base isn't awful plus the bonus is pretty competitive too.
