Offer check - Securities Counsel at a pubco. $220k + 20% cash bonus + $45k in stock with a 33% vest over 3 years (refreshes annually).

Current salary (same role at a different pubco) is $225k + 20% cash bonus (no equity).

Both companies' stocks have not performed that great (both down substantially) over the last few years, if that means anything. Anything to try negotiating?

This is roughly what I got 5 years ago for similar position and 3 yrs experience. I would push for a much higher initial stock grant (and $45k refresh ongoing needs to be increased but that’s a future convo). I’d ask for at least $100k initial grant, and $250k base. You didn’t provide location, so I can’t tell if HCOL or not. If it’s HCOL, I’d push for even higher base. Good luck to you.

I just went through this at 7 YOE for a litigation position. VHCOL. $285 base, 20% bonus, $210k RSUs over four years. I think you should try for more base but at minimum more RSUs if they’re not willing to move much on base

Not FAANG, but its very niche IP litigation. Fully remote too, which is right up my alley

This seems very similar to what my company would offer.

Seems low. I was 250 plus 25% at a private small co. Only had 6% on back end.

Seems a bit low to me too

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...
