Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.

What do you think?

If that’s TC it depends on the base/equity split - 60-70k base salary would be good in most of EU. It really depends on where are you based. For northern countries - Germany, France, Ireland, Scandinavians, Benelux… - it is average, maybe a bit low. For south Europe - Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece… - is on the higher end of the spectrum. Even then it would depend on specific cities and areas. If you can choose and like the beach go to Canary Islands and enjoy life, that’s not a bad salary there, at all :D

Based in Western Europe, so yeah I guess a bit low then. Not sure about the ratio yet, recruiter kept pushing that it depends on the interview result etc. Thanks for sharing!

Spotify in general is not high paying. There are many other perks and benefits, depending on what is important to you.
Stock market is favorable for equity right now tho.

Yeah, that's understandable. Keen to know more about the benefits and all, I guess that would be explained in the final bit.

It’s low especially if you don’t have bonus… but as said before me, if the position can be in south Europe, that’s « ok ». But definitely not if you’re in France or above. What’s your current package ?

What’s the currency? If in SEK then it is high-average for Sweden. Euro and USD would be good, since SEK is weak now. You can live a quite comfortable life in Sweden with that salary.

It is indeed in EUR

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

I've been searching for a new job because I know I am underpaid. I have 12+ years of experience in the event industry and seven years in the Event Tech world. I interviewed with Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft. I went through all the stages, but I was not selected. Any advice? I think I did great in all my interviews; my resume is solid, and I have four university degrees including a Master’s. I speak English and Spanish. Any advice of what my problem might be?

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

Last busy season was hell because we were short staffed (only 3 of us), and I fear that next one will be even worse because we are in a market where we do not have a ton of people we could hire.

This feels like a new job and I'm not liking it at all.
