Anyone had a good experience with a temp agency in SF/Bay Area? I've registered with a few of the big ones and have either been ignored or given leads -- then suddenly ghosted by my rep. Is there a way to engage these folks I'm not hip to?

I'm earning my tech writing certificate right now, but in the meantime need an income and work. Any work.

(But if you know a good agency for entry-level tech writers, that information would be great too.) Thanks!

it's a very tough market right now and a ton of layoffs in tech sector. have you tried teksystems? insight global? just don't compete with me 😉

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
