Received verbal offer for L4 non-tech role (accounting/finance) and I’m very disappointed in the numbers:

Base: 111k
RSU: 98k
Bonus: 15%
Sign-on: 10k

I told my recruiter that my expectation is $130k base and 120k equity, which I thought would be reasonable given my 7 YOE. They even skipped HC bc I was a clear cut (not to toot my own horn). Any thoughts & tips on negotiation? I have no competing offer rn. Any input is greatly appreciated!

For bay area is a bad offer, for many other areas a good offer. So it really depends on location

Are all 7 YoE related directly to your role? If not, then yea this makes sense. If yes, then you likely didn’t interview well enough to meet the requirements for 5. Not dunking on you, just going through the process. You’ll make 5 quickly. But yeah you can definitely get both of those numbers up.

Ah hmm I see. I went into the interview knowing that it is a L4 role though (recruiter reached out to me first for this specific role and I’ve asked for the level). Would they have still considered me for L5 though, if I did better during the interview?

Wow. That’s almost a slap in the face for 7 YOE.

I felt the slap 🥲

L4 non tech sounds right, but you’re forgetting the annual bonus. TC: base bonus and equity.

Didn’t include bonus bc I took it kind of as a ‘given,’ but updated my post to reflect it!

They told me 119 initial offer for an L5 finance role 🤣

Were you able to negotiate for a higher number?

7 YOE here. Interviewing for non tech PgM role. Was quoted 175K, 200K equity, 15% bonus by recruiter. Sounds like you’re being low balled

This sounds like an L5 offer for HCOL SF/NY

Too low don’t take it!

Holy hell that is underpayment

L4 role in strategy pays 250k
