sharing numbers since i couldn't find recent data anywhere useful.
role: senior software engineer, supply chain tech division, based in Atlanta (hybrid 3 days).
my offer: $155k base, $25k annual bonus target (paid quarterly, not annual, which is nice for cash flow), RSUs $120k vesting over 4 years, standard benefits. no sign-on offered but i didn't push hard for it.
total comp year 1 comes to roughly $195k depending on bonus payout. they told me bonus historically pays out around 80-90% of target for this team.
this is for a role that would be L5/E5 equivalent at big tech. lower than FAANG by maybe 30-40%, but Atlanta COL does a lot of work there. the team seemed stable, org wasn't in cost-cutting mode, and the supply chain scope is genuinely interesting if you care about systems at scale.
negotiated base up from $142k initial. didn't budge on RSUs. your mileage may vary.
