Zscaler offered me position in Amsterdam for senior Qa. Offering 85k base pay and 20k equity for 4 years. I am 12 year experienced, feel lowballed with the offer.
How much can be negotiated here, what would be a good number to check with HR team?

When I was researching salaries about 12 months ago, the range for senior QA (I’m assuming more QE in that you do some automation and CI work) was between 105,000 and 150,000. So your offer does seem to be on the low end of things.

I’ve always worked remote. Personally, I think location should have little impact on salary (but that’s a different discussion). I’m talking salary, not TC.

I got LOTS of lowball offers when I was looking 75,000+ range. But those places either raised their offers or were eliminated from my search early.

I’m in discussions to become the GC of a mid size but international company that does ~$1 billion in annual revenue. Smallish legal department. They’ve asked for my comp expectations. I don’t have specific expectations but I want to be compensated at least market for a NYC based GC (which looks like cash comp of at least $300k plus bonus, etc). Any suggestions on how people would respond?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
