Thoughts on Director of Software Engineering at a small firm $165k base + 10% annual bonus. No stock options, no RRSP match. YOE 12, experience in current role 3 yrs.
Current compensation $140k, no stock options or RRSP match, but love the organization.

Seems low to me. I would expect Director level to pay $200K TC.

Thank you for chiming in.

For context it's a firm with 10 employees, trying to expand and have had multiple clients signed up of late. And actually, it's pretty similar to my current org as well.

Wonder if asking $180k would be realistic or come of as greedy. I initially agreed (with the recruiter for $160) in the hopes that I can present my value and demand more. My technology stack is Microsoft (Azure + Dynamics CE or Power apps).

Are you chasing the title or the opportunity? You could get paid more with RRSP matching or a pension elsewhere if you got 12 YOE in senior management and software.

I think it's the title to be fair. I'm wondering whether if it's the right move (they approached me and I wanted to see what the interview looks like).

To clarify, YOE is total experience from a junior dev to the current role of Solution Architect.

Who cares if u were director or VP if the firm has only 10 employees. No one cares; just focus on TC

The initial excitement has evaporated and it is down to the most important thing , TC!

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
