I recently got verbal confirm from the recruiter that the team is willing to move forward and give me an offer. I don't have the figures yet. I am planning on negotiating a base salary between 128k-135k + bonus. Not sure if Visa does Stocks. I would appreciate it, If the community can let me know if the base that I am thinking is an ideal range or am I low balling my self?

      I hear they are currently matching existing RSU’s now because of competition. If you have none they will not. A few years ago they wouldn’t match mine, but completely different now.

      I think if you are comparing to today, consider the benefits they include. You get a bump and benefits and nothing says you can’t keep looking or jump ship in a year if you don’t get RSU’s. Visa benefits are good. However, keep in mind that they default your participation at 5% for the 401k (visa pays 2x for 10% fully vested). It’s nice, but a chunk out of your base pay to consider. You can change it, but free money people don’t leave on the table.

      Side note: If you love Palo Alto like I do that’s great, but that site will close when the new SF office opens (might be a couple years)

      Let me rephrase. Witch pays so much ?? I thought they cap at 90-100k even in bay area.

      To answer your question I am a 100% sure they don’t do stocks at your level. They might add some cash/signon bonus and relocation if you are relocating. Very less room for negotiation tbh. I was an intern there a few yrs ago. Keep interviewing and skip this one if you have options.

    OP, market is hot so I think you can get good offer. Your money will go further if you move to Austin. Can you get your offer moved?
