Does anyone have experience negotiating an offer from Shopify? Got a verbal offer, but the salary is 20–25% less than what friends of mine are making in comparable roles at other big tech companies in my city.

I wouldn't say "well, my friends make X so that's what I want." You can tell them that your market research is showing compensation around the X range. Then ask if that's in-line with what they're seeing, or why this particular offer seems to fall a bit short of that.

Do you have other offers in hand? If you do, you can use it at a leverage for negotiation. If not, just tell them what your friend make and see if you can match it assuming it is similar roles and experiences.

No other offers yet. I’m early in the process with another large tech co in the finance space. Their stated range is about 125–130% of this verbal offer.

Got an offer from a large tech PE company for their value creation team. Team is relatively experienced - however, their offer is lower than my current salary as a consultant at a T2 firm. I’m highly valued at my firm and my trajectory is already fast tracked. Would it make sense to leave in this case for the mere name recognition of this PE fund?

Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
