whenever u get ur offer u can negotiate whatever bonus they give u up to 30k

#

base will be 158

#

they might try to give u like 17k bonus or whatever but if u have competing youll easily get 30

small hazel Jan 17, 2026, 3:14 AM

#

offer

#

signon 10k

#

I’ve heard of select people negociating a relo too but that’s less likely than bonus rising

#

I’d still ask

small hazel Jan 17, 2026, 4:10 AM

Hello,
I have my second technical round coming up and just wanted to get a general idea of how the interview flow looks for that day. Could someone please let me know if there are additional rounds planned, their approximate duration, and any gaps in between? Also, when would the Engineering Manager round typically be scheduled, and how long does it usually last?
