Hello, I am a graduating phd student at one of the top 4 CS schools, specializing in ML, with a decent publication record (800+ citations and several first author top conference papers). I went on recruiting for industry Research Scientist positions and got the following initial offers. All compensation is annual TC over 3/4 years, depending on the stock vesting period. Snap 360k Facebook 330k Google 280k Apple 270k Amazon 220k The levels are L4 or equivalent. I wonder what's the final offer I should aim for? I know https://aipaygrad.es/ exists and indicates 400k+, but my offers seem considerably low compared to the webpage... Is it because they are initial offers? The pandemic is affecting me? AI hype is over? Also any tips for negotiating with multiple offers would be appreciated! I feel like everyone will approximately match the highest (Snap) offer, ending the negotiation. Any way I can keep the competition going? #google#facebook#apple#amazon#snap#machinelearning#phd#negotiation
Also depends on your industry exposure before phd. If you have 2-3 years of experience in industry you should target 400k.
That's also good to know. Thank you!
I got 400K as new grad AI PhD from top 4. Had 3 total offers and made them compete. For what it's worth, h-index of 15.
Thanks for the info! I am in a similar situation. Can I ask what year it was, and what were the initial offers?
2018. Initial offers were 250-300. FB, G, Nvidia. I asked for more signing bonus (100 total) and more RSU (total 150/year)
You really want to join FAANG in the midst of antitrust lawsuits? All those citations must have gotten to your head. If youβre really that good you should get tenure and/ or start your own company.
800 citations might not be enough for eb1
I just got an eb1 with h index 9 and 200 citations π€·π»ββοΈ
Low balled offer for your research experience / potential.. Negotiate more and get to atleast 400k TC if not more.. Also why L4? PhD s can get hired at L5 in some places.. would require demonstrating some good behavioral rounds + ml design aspects..
I heard L5 is extremely rare, although it's worth giving a shot! I will definitely push for 400k+ TC.
google can easily get to 400k for a rs position in research org if you were what they are looking for.
That's good to know! Just to be sure, this is for fresh phd right?
