I finished an audit internship this summer and I’m starting full time in a couple weeks. Is it normal to get imposter syndrome before starting? During the internship I worked with some really smart 2nd year and seniors and was a little bit intimidated by them.

Totally normal, and take advantage of being new! Ask tons of questions early and frequently to learn and try to accelerate your learning faster if you are worried about where you are. Everyone you will be working with already knows that you are new and essentially know nothing, so there aren't any expectations for how much you 'should' know at this point.

It might feel like drinking from a firehose at first, but I'm sure you got familiar during your internship. No one expects you to be like a senior!

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
