Aight fellas, I’m a corporate bum so I don’t know what I don’t know. Have a verbal offer for a VP role at a portco. Acquired in the last few years @ 5BN valuation. I doubt an exit is imminent, but…who knows.

The comp convo was gridlocked between me and recruiter. What kind of comp should I gun for? Base/bonus/equity? This is way out of my realm lol

Ask for as much as you can, including a generous sign-on bonus. Why not? The worst they will say is no and provide a counteroffer. You might as well go big.

Most folks are figuring it out as they go. A VP friend aimed for 250 to 300k base, 30 to 50 percent bonus, and at least one to two percent equity depending on dilution. If talks are stuck, it may be time to loop in someone higher. What number would make this move worth it for you?

No one gives 1% equity at that valuation

Did you get the offer? Where dis yiu land in terms of base/bonus/equity?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I got a job offer but it's 3k less than the low end of my happy range. But there will be a review in 6 months with the potential for a raise. I'd rather start at the low end of range. What is the best way to ask for that??
