Negotiation timing - before or after final exec call?
Got a verbal offer from a tech co (senior IC). Want to negotiate comp/leveling, but there’s a pending “final call” with C-suite that’s described as formality, not evaluation.
Should I:
(a) Negotiate now, before C-suite call
(b) Wait until after C-suite call but before written offer
(c) Doesn’t matter
Also - better to discuss with recruiter or hiring manager directly?
First time negotiating, no competing offers. Ex-MBB, target 10-15% comp bump

Negotiate now.

I wouldn’t broach the topic till after you’ve received the written offer. You don’t negotiate until a written offer and when you have a pending interview, regardless of how they’re framing it.

Why would you negotiate if you’re still interviewing? Just cuz they’re saying it’s not an interview doesn’t mean they’re not making sure you’re a good fit. I’d wait.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Hey guys,
