Question is in the title. I’m currently in the negotiation stage for Meta and I’m trying to figure out how much room there is for negotiation.

Does Meta ask for proof of competing offers? I’m currently finishing up interviews elsewhere, but don’t have official offers and don’t really want to go through the process just to negotiate with Meta.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Current TC - $170k
YOE - 12 professionally, 5 as PM

Meta Offer - IC4 PM - Remote
Base - $161k
Bonus - 15%
Equity - $200k / 4 years
No sign on mentioned
TC - $235,150

    Just tell them the other offer is verbal.

    If they press for you to get the other offer in writing, say they will give you the written offer after you accept the verbal (it’s a common policy). Fb recruiter probably won’t tell you to accept the competing offer :)

      It doesn’t really matter what you call out. IC4 has a pay band associated with it. You could tell them you were offered $215k somewhere else, but that doesn’t mean they’ll match that at an IC4

      That’s true. I had a potential offer that was much higher than my level max. So just tuned it to the max for my band and got a similar offer.

    They asked, I refused to give (politely), and they still gave me the TC I asked for

    Yes. I had to show Amazon’s counteroffer to get Meta to raise its offer.

    Ok, I’m not trying to get a ridiculous amount more. I’d like to get to $250k on the equity and like $175k on the base

      I matched with a team in RL. I was told it would be 75% building tools for developers and 25% customer experience through software deployment and third party app integration

      I’m not familiar with how things are in RL, but I will say one pattern I’ve seen here is that for backend/platform type teams, there can be a lot of overlap with TPMs, to the point where it can be kind of a territory battle and unclear as to roles and responsibilities and such. So just a caution if you’re planning on going into that space. Maybe it’s not afflicting that team, but you should find a way to suss it out.
