Got an offer from a small biotech firm for a director role. Base is $200k plus $25k sign on plus $50k RSU with target bonus of 25%. I’m currently a M3 making $185 should be promoted to SM within the next year or so. Am I crazy to think this is a low offer?

What's your YOE? You're going from 185K to 300kTC + a nice sign on? I don't see the problem unless you're 20 YOE

You could negotiate a little more on the RSUs maybe base 5-10%, but still seems like a decent offer. Also depends on your skillset and location. Keep in mind the potential for growth within the company too.

Yes

This seems low to me.

I am also targeting this kind of exit, may I ask how you sourced this offer?

Thanks for the reply. I’ve had similar issues with headhunters for biotech with disappointing, dragged-out conclusions.

Are you making 185k all in?

If so yes you are crazy. This is roughly 300k gross

Great point SSC1. The more I think through the logistics like the eventual commute would be an hour each way I’m leaning that way now after thinking it through. I asked them Friday to increase offer so we will see.

This is on target for biotech afaik

I mean there always is, and having a competing offer helps, probably most room on RSUs

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze.
