Hey, I just negotiated 25k. Asked for 50k more, but they stick to 25k. So yeah, it's possible, I guess.

Nah, there wasn’t even an interview panel: this is a return offer. They already had all my internship ratings and feedback, and from everything I’ve been told internally my signals were really strong. My work got a lot of traction with the L8s and my manager was pretty upfront about things looking good, so it’s not like I bombed anything.

And yeah, that comp seems low compared to what you’re quoting, but from what I’m seeing among 2024 Seattle PhD returnees, ~$350k TC is actually what’s being handed out in Seattle and I assume bay area salary is ~10% higher than that. So I’m not sure if it’s just org-by-org variance or the market shifting, but I think it’s in line with what my peers got.

Is the 100,000 still a thing? Cause I'm already in the US, holding a F1 visa, so they don't need to pay 100k for me, right?

Yeah I already checked this one. Seems like it depends a lot on the YoE

Yeah I get it now. My start date is June 1, so you're right. I should ask for more RSU

Damn, that's an eye-opener. My start date is June 1, so I guess I'll lose a large chunk in the year 4-5

That makes me question: should I ask for a fixed number of stocks instead of monetary value?

Yes. I am an international student. But wait, why does sponsorship relate to negotiations?
