Received an offer for Manager role at Salesforce in one of their global strategy groups. During my initial conversation with the recruiter I mentioned my compensation expectations to be above $200k (current TC ~$205k) and they said they could get there. Offer came in at $160k base, 15% bonus, and $10k annual RSU for 4 years. Any advice on what parts of the offer would be most flexible (base, bonus,RSU,sign-on,other)/what a good counter would be? Would countering at $200k base be unreasonable?

Congrats on your offer. I think those RSUs should be at least 25k annually (100k to vest over 4 years)

I’d counter at 200 base and 25k RSU/year, but they did technically meet your ask.

I would leave bonus out of your total comp calc unless it’s guaranteed. Large companies tend to massage the numbers to make bonus payouts optimal for their balance sheet, not yours.

Maybe 175 base, and push equity to 25 per year

likefunny

If your current TC is 205k you should ask for 250k

Are you in MBB or tier2 strategy? I would reneg higher base and RSUs for sure. If you’re from a no name boutique, it’s harder to push back

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.
