What is salary range for ic5 in oracle?
Hey all, I got an offer from Infosys UK. They are offering 130K GBP (base) and 20% variable paid out quarterly In addition, I will be getting approx 300 shares as ESOPs Profile : 8 YOE Skill: AI architect/manager Do you think this is as per market? I have tried to negotiate base for another 15% , but they seems to be very rigid, and clarified no further increase is possible Infosys
I would try just being very up front about your expectations. Find out if commission is on a monthly, a quarterly or yearly basis. If monthly then you may still be in good shape but I would express your current salary is higher and you can’t afford to depend on commission that’s not guaranteed when you are used to making a set amount each month currently. If you really want the role and think the commission will be consistent and paid monthly then it could be worth the jump if it’s a great company like you are saying. Just don’t come across greedy but rather just genuinely express any concerns you have, and see what they can do.
Also I would say compare benefits with what you have now, a 6% 401k match vs say 3% is a big difference for building towards your future etc, benefits are huge so don’t solely look at salary.
You have to think what is important to you. I did the same mistake with my current company by taking a offer less than my past salary and HR convinced me to accept the offer showing 20% bonus. Since I joined the company, the company offered always less than 10% bonus and somehow my motivation to learn new technology and other stuff gone. So take wise decision.
Don’t fall for it. We go to work to get paid, nothing more, point. I do not care if it’s a “great” company. You should look out for yourself as if you don’t, no body else would.
Be very clear about your compensation goals, do your research and understand the average market rate, approach the recruiter in a professional manner presenting your requirements with a hint of your felxibility to negotiate. If they agree and you both get to a middle ground, good, if you don’t then it’s time to move on.
You do not pay your bills with “great”. And if they’re that great then they should compensate people fairly.
Don’t dwell on it too much anyways.
