Just got an offer for strategy director at a tier 2 tech firm in bay area. Total TC around 370K (270K base, 120K RSU, 25% bonus). I also have a pretty good shot at Google L6 strategy lead role, but less exciting work content. Is 370K a decent TC? How much further can I negotiate?

8.5 yoe - 5 years pre MBA, 3.5 years post MBA at MBB.

is 370k decent TC? Wtf? How about you tell us? What are people trying to accomplish with this post? These should be automatically audited out lmao 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is in the top quartile for a 3.5 year post-MBA exit in tech in the Bay Area. Like the poster above said, try to push for closer to 400 if you can.

That’s slightly higher than what Google pays for L6 strategy exits, but if you get the offer they’ll likely match or get close (if they consider the T2 firm real competition).

Also the base is very high loaded for your offer, Google and many other tech companies will load more in RSU. But base is always better than rsu!

like

Update: Negotiated to get higher RSU, got additional 100K RSU and bump to 395K first year TC. Thanks all for the advice.

Congrats!

r u not counting ur rsus in tc? cuz the offer seems like it’s better than u say

like

oh ok makes sense. that sounds kinda light on the rsus relative to the rest of the comp but maybe that’s just how they do it. if ur trying to negotiate this is where i’d focus.

I guess you‘re currently around 300k? So that would give you a good increase. Of course, yearly increases afterwards will be slower, but if you think it‘s a cool role go for it (can always come back).

The Google role might be even more attractive in the long run, so I‘d say try and see.

Negotiation potential probably around 400k. Main lever I guess RSU

270k base is very difficult to beat regardless of the level or position. Congrats! Very curious which T2 tech firm gives so much base at the director level

Very solid. Congrats!
