薪资谈判与工作邀约

Hi Alex, thanks for coming in. We've deliberated, and we're very pleased to extend a job offer for the Senior Software Engineer position.

That's wonderful news, Sarah! I'm truly excited about the opportunity. Could you please walk me through the details of the offer?

Certainly. The base salary is $120,000 annually, with a 10% target bonus and stock options vesting over four years. We also offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, along with unlimited PTO and a 401k match.

Thank you for the detailed breakdown, Andrew. The offer sounds competitive, and I appreciate the generous benefits package. Regarding the base salary, is there any flexibility on that figure?

We believe this offer is strong for the role and your experience level. While the base salary is fairly set, we might have a little room for negotiation on the signing bonus, depending on your current compensation structure.

I understand. My current compensation package, including stock, is slightly higher. Would it be possible to consider a signing bonus of $15,000 to help bridge that gap?

Let me discuss that with the team, Alex. I can't promise anything, but I'll see what we can do. Also, I wanted to confirm if you have any questions about the role's responsibilities or the team dynamic.

Thanks, I appreciate you looking into it. I feel good about the role and the team after our interviews. My primary concern right now is ensuring the compensation aligns with my expectations. When can I expect to hear back regarding the signing bonus?

I'll aim to get back to you by the end of tomorrow, Friday, with an updated offer. Does that work for you?

Yes, that works perfectly. Thank you again, Andrew, for your time and flexibility. I look forward to hearing from you.
