A FAANG InMailed me to interview me for a project manager role in the bay area, but the pay is surprisingly low: 150 base, 15% target bonus, 80k rsu, unspecified equity refreshers. Should I decline to interview? What FAANG project or program manager TC should I target instead? I have a target MBA, 5 YOE before school, 4 YOE at big 4 after.

They gave you comp details without an interview?

Ah got it. Thought you meant in the inmail

Can always just take it and exit to another one later

OP - do you know what level are you be being targeted for? Also 80k RSU over 4 years, right?

3 years of managerial experience.

Aside from the brand name and possibility of transferring to a better role at a later date from within the company, there is no other major factor in favor of the role. I'm leaning toward declining to interview.

What FAANG? And what kind of project are you managing? Very important

Facebook? I got the same thing

That’s typical comp for bizops in FAANG

What’s the base location? If you can work remote then you don’t need to be in bay area and can work from a LCOL

They typically raise it if they think you are fit for a higher level

Would your advice be to interview and ask for significantly more (like 250 rsu vs 80), or is that gap just too big? Gap sounds too big right now.

Could prolly get small increase on base, bonus % will likely not budge, equity has tons of room to move. What location? An L5 offer in second tier city ive seen 155 base / 15% / 260 equity (4yrs)

SF bay area location.

80k/year or over 4 years?

Over 4 years. There are refreshers each year, but unspecified.

If your targeting Sr Program manger role with 10 YoE, you should be looking for something like 300k TC with a mid- to high- 1 base, 30k bonus and the rest in stock. Anything that’s +/- 50k in TC can be negotiated, especially if you have a competing offer.
