I am expecting an offer from Master Card for Senior Software Engineer position in O Fallon MO. Please let me know what kind of base salary I can expect with 11 yrs experience . I don’t wanna undersell but also trying to avoid being aggressive but quote a decent number which will be achievable. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Is 125k $ base a fair value for or I can pitch higher? They have a 15 to 20 % bonus on top of base pay and a 10% match on 401k which the recruiter keep highlighting.

125k for a senior software sounds lot less

Agree with below comment ask for 145k, bonus is good but as far as my opinion it’s a onetime thing and there will be tax cuts on that so not worth it because we do not know when the next payraise would be ! Thats my opinion

I would say asked for at least 140k+ base salary

like

But Do you think they can pay that kind of number becoz then the TC would be 163k + 10 % 401k. Recruiter is crying saying 120k base . Dont know what to do?

The bonus is good. You should ask for 165k.

like

Ask for 165 base. Bonus is separate. You want the base high because this is money you can rely on. Bonus is tied to performance (both yours and company) so payout varies every year.

I work at a Financial Institution and have recently been approached about a Director role with my prior company. It’s a great opportunity but I have 2 young kids (Preschool/Elementary ages) and I don’t want to sacrifice time with them for career advancement. I would love to hear from working moms in senior leadership roles to understand if it’s possible to balance both, or is it best to wait a few more years? Not happy currently and looking to move, but unsure of pursuing lateral vs. a promotion

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
