Perhaps if I tell them I belong to the illuminati, they will be more flexible? 🤣

funny

Totally read Illuminati. I haven't really encountered any company where you can't negotiate stock options. It's typically the thing that companies are willing to adjust the most.

Lol I thought it was Illuminati too for a second! But yeah, I'd agree - although I feel like a lot of companies are being cautious with their opening offers recently, so they might be more willing to renegotiate if you initiate that conversation

What is the realistic salary range for an Engineer 1 role at Illumina? I'm interviewing for this role & coming in with 2 yrs experience. Is it realistic to ask for 95K in California? I feel like I'm doing & have done much of the work in my previous & current role.

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..
