Hi Ladies: I was offered a position yesterday with a well-known tech company at $98k. Today, I received an email stating that the compensation was misquoted and the company is now offering $80k plus a sign-on bonus of $5k and unvested stock options which will fully vest after 4-years. I informed the recruiter that I’m still interested and ask for renegotiation because I come with years of experience.

Is there anything else I can do at this point?

What’s the position? Also, which area and how many years of experience do you have? $80k sounds very low to me.

like

It’s a Premier Support Engineer role with a little over 10-years of experience.

Now a days tech companies are giving $80k to people who had career gap. So area and experience also matters. With minimum 5+ YOE I think base would be $100k

like

What is the title? As a software engineer I wouldn’t take any lower than 100k with multiple years or experience.

like

Ofc if you’re still interested definitely renegotiate

And the vesting, do 25% of the shares vest annually or nothing until year 4? I agree the salary seems low depending on your location. And negotiate that starting bonus up to match the promised original offer. If you don’t want to delay starting a job, maybe accept the offer and immediately start looking for another job. My gut says you aren’t being fairly treated.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
