We’re looking for a FTE social first conceptual creative team. 4-7 years exp. Book shows a number of social campaigns that demonstrate sense of humor, knowledge of all the platforms (what are the kids up to these days?!) and some film/TV work as a bonus. No visas. Desire to eventually come to our beautiful office in SF (remote for now). This is a role for a mid-senior level, and compensation reflects that. Shoot me your portfolio to: joanna.serna@argonautinc.com
Thank you! I look forward to connecting.

That’s pretty good for your YoE

Yeah that sounds great. Nice increase for you and good salary for your YOE. You can probably make more but that’s a good chunk of change, especially in Texas.
Will they give you an annual bonus as well? Also note I wouldn’t include signing bonus in your TC as that’s a one-time payment.

Ooh ok. 8% isn’t fantastic but it’s decent and certainly a nice gesture to give you a signing bonus to make you whole.
If you’re not totally satisfied with the offer (which seems pretty good), you can always try negotiating other benefits, like PTO.
Hey, just got a new offer which sounds very similar to yours, 2 YOE and went from 85k -> 130k, when trying to budge I had similar resistance so I will take this as a sign that it is fair across the industry
Yeah I was thinking that $130k - $140k sounded like a good base salary especially in Austin, but seems like it was an fair offer.

Seems pretty good considering your YOE and the fact that it's a starting salary for your new Senior SWE role. This gives you the potential to get raises each year in addition to the 8% bonus you mentioned. If after a few years you decide to pursue another company and/or position, you'll have those years of experience as a Senior SWE to push the salary/TC way higher later on.
That makes a lot of sense.
Amazon will pay 200+ for someone with your YOE in Austin.

You're comparing a normal company to a FAANG company though...
Of course the FAANG and well-established/very competitive tech companies are going to pay a premium in total comp (salary, stocks, etc). I hope that OP is aware of this already but if not, I would definitely recommend OP to do his/her due diligent research on this. The types of companies I mentioned will definitely pay a competitive salary for entry-level software engineers (e.g. $200k+ TC) and senior-level engineers (e.g. $300k+ TC, even $500+ TC for staff/principal levels).
