Interviewing for a Program Manager role at FAANG/MANGA(?). 5YOE in consulting after college. Offer is Base 135k, $147k equity vested quarterly over 4 years, 15-20% performance bonus, sign on 12k in HCOL. I think this is very competitive and I feel very fortunate, but I’m from a cheap affordable city. How good/bad is this TC for San Jose and neighboring areas?

Overall looks really competitive.

I bet sign on could be higher, have seen $25-$60k there. Your equity is really good for this role, usually see like $60k-$115k . Bonus is likewise very good, slightly ahead of 10-15% that I have seen. I think base in California locations should be a smidge higher, $140k-$150k maybe, but feels not too far off considering how high your RSUs are.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. I figured the salary and sign on was a bit lower than I hoped for, but given the equity is higher than rangesI’d seen online + opportunity to work in FAANG they’re definitely not deal breakers.

Also, what’re your thoughts about my offer ? Would it be a good range for google ?

Just accepted similar offer at ~ 4.5YOE and no sign on in the same area. Based on my research, it was enough to jump.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
