uber negotiations

First day offer asked my base pay expectations. I asked for 210k. said manager is not making more than that and said she will discuss and come back. They use a third party company to pin down the salaries. Once hr came back, the base pay is set in STONE at 191k. No sign on bonus, no room for negotation. Is it true they dont negotiate ? They need a motive to provide sign on bonus like an offer from some other company, etc. After I mentioned of upcoming onsite, they are saying they will proceed with other interviewers and offer may not be available in a week. So basically, sounds like i am being cornered. Do suggest what can be done. How to make negotiations to turn in my favor. Or to put in another way, they are not willing to negotiate for sign-on.

I found Uber barely budged on the initial offer at all, though was able to negotiate a sign-on. Competing offers will be the only thing that can help you!

When did you get the offer.. is it recent..which group

191k base for 5a is very good actually. If this is for 5b then it’s a bit low.

What's good ab business?

Ambarella teBd44 OP Nov 21, 2018

They did not mention anything about level. Do they do it in offer letter?

Ambarella teBd44 OP Nov 21, 2018

@catburglar don't know what you are asking.

Sounds like they know your current comp and know this is a bump for you. They are full of shit about the offer “disappearing” like that, that’s just a normal recruiter tactic

Correct. Even if there are other good candidates there's no reason why they can't hire all of you.

Ambarella teBd44 OP Nov 21, 2018

That's true. I will have to know how important my candidature for the roke.

I recently received an offer and like OP mentioned they didn't negotiate much. I was able to get some additional RSUs and sign on as I had competing offers. Mine was for 5b.
