Role: Senior Financial Analyst, Commercial Finance (US Diabetes Business Unit) Location: Indianapolis, IN (hybrid 3 days) Level: not disclosed externally but internal grade landed around L5 equivalent
Base: $98,500 Annual target bonus: 12% of base ($11,820 at target) Sign-on: $8,000 (1-year clawback) RSUs: $30,000 grant, 3-year vest Benefits: very strong. HSA contribution, 401k match up to 6%, pension (!) which almost nobody has anymore
Total year 1: roughly $148k with sign-on included. maybe $140k recurring
for reference this is lower than equivalent roles in NYC or SF but Indianapolis cost of living makes it more competitive than the raw number suggests. i benchmarked it against local market and it was at the 65th percentile for the function/level. not life-changing but solid.
they do not negotiate base much. i pushed on sign-on and got an extra $2k and pushed on RSUs and got an extra $5k. those were movable. base was not.
