Got an offer at a FAANG but offer came in lower than originally negotiated (by ~20k). Basically had already negotiated comp with the recruiter / compensation committee before going to the hiring committee. After hiring committee the offer ended up being lower. Is this common?

Negotitate the offer...

This happened to me before and I ended up declining the offer after a couple of calls since they were not willing to honor initially discussed comp.

I did this out of principle since I feel that if you let folks screw you in the beginning it will only compound itself when time for promotion, raises, etc comes

OP, no I don’t regret it and yes I found a better opportunity 2 months later.

Update - got the offer back to original levels plus a bit extra

Congrats OP.

Just ask

What role/level?

Maybe you were leveled down

Im assuming that’s what happened. Which knowing how long it may take to get a promotion (3-5 years) may not make it worth it anymore. Would most promotions take that amount of time or is there shorter windows?
