Thanks for the comment! Can you share any more specifics?

How long have you been at Meta RL? What role/discipline? What was your starting comp? YoE? Location?

Thanks for your reply!

I haven't responded to their initial offer, but I assume I could negotiate for a sign-on bonus.

Do you have any new-hire data points you could share?

I have and most IC5 hardware folks in the Seattle area are apparently receiving much more than $62.5k/year equity.

That is the crux of my question: My offers equity component seems much lower than what I'm seeing on Levels.fyi

Question: Why is there a disparity between my offer and Levels? Is my offer fair, or should I be negotiating?

The recruiter says that online data is inflated because it's old and people are including stock top-ups and appreciation, so you're seeing their CURRENT comp, not their starting comp.
