Hi, I received an offer from GitHub of 130k base plus stocks. The TC is around 190k year. What do you guys think? My current base is 170k (I don’t have stocks or anything) and I have 13 years of experience. Also, I applied for senior, but they evaluated me as intermediate. #tech #github
Good offer but with your YOE I think you could do better. GitHub stock is MSFT right?
Yes, it’s MSFT stock.
You have 13 YOE but they evaluated you as mid level? Why?
Not really sure.
Probably because that is what they evaluated from the interview based on the answers given for the purposes of working at GH and what they are looking for.
What is the level in github offer ?
Software engineer III . I looked up on levels and it looks like it’s the level before senior
How much in stocks are the offering? That’s a potential place to get increased TC
99k over 4 years
You should try to get that increased esp for HCOL and SWE role
Just a heads up GitHub is falling apart at lightning speed. They are literally negotiating with people to stagger their resignations and come 1st July there’s a big restructure to combine a lot of roles with Microsoft. Unless it’s your dream job and eye watering comp I wouldn’t ever consider it.
There's always room to negotiate! Don't walk away from the offer without trying at least
As a Hubber , I would suggest you to negotiate bit more on comp. Regarding culture, yes GitHub is a good resume booster and they are doing fine. Maybe you see Microsoft taking over a bit on leadership roles but it’s still a great company to work for, on top of it you will get MSFT stocks + great benefits that only few top level companies are offering now.
What location is this when you say HCOL? If a west coast tech hub, then you should push for > 150k base, > 120k stocks since you said this is for SWE 3
I had my final interview last Tuesday and I'm still waiting to hear back :(
Are you still waiting for the feedback or you got something?
Definitely ghosted me

Does 20k feel worth it to jump? Not challenging, just genuinely asking.
I live in hcol area and a pay cut of 40k in the base would hard ( have family, kids etc). On the other hand, Gh seems like a pretty cool company to work for. It’s a very hard decision.
Consider one would be getting consistent 170 while with stocks there is vesting and you won’t be getting it right away. If you leave it’s all gone.
