Got an offer for the Tesla P3 Senior Software Engineer role.
Base: 155k;
RSU: 180k (4yr);
Bonus: None;
Sign on: None:
Location: Fremont, CA

I really want to be part of this company, but the total comp is only half of what the other FANNG currently offering (for SDE III/L5/E5). Is this normal?

The the recruiter kept saying "it's based on the team"; "the compensation is based on performance during the interview and the team". In my case, I aced the interviews, including the coding rounds (LeetCode Medium), SQL, system design, and behavior with the HM.

I knew that people in the Autopilot team got offered a couple million dollars of RSU, and obviously those are the exceptions. And the stock price has 7x since pre-pandemic. But, for generalist SWE, is it really that bad? Could anyone from Tesla confirm?

YoE 8:
TC:~320K
LC:~450 solved
