Went great. It’s all pretty funny. Management is a bunch of idiots. Management is trying to resolve this quietly and informally because they failed to comply with notice provisions in the lease to raise my rent before renewal (costing the owner about 13k in new rent). Tim represents the owner not the management.

Considering asking for 20k as a settlement on the understanding that i won’t send an email to every resident in the building explaining that most likely they’re all entitled to renew at old rate if they moved in around same time as me

So how did the meeting with ole Timmy go?!

Tim should be conflicted out, no?

Probably but management was there he told them we work together everyone laughed and we sat down to chat it out noone was reaching a settlement then and there. I imagine he’ll disclose the conflict to the developer. The firm doesn’t litigate or mediate anyway so he’d be telling them to get other counsel anyway

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
