Two recent negotiation stories from peeps: 1. Senior at BigCo, not SF: asked for $450k total comp, company said yes, asked if they'd prefer relatively more bonus or RSUs. 2. Senior at SF unicorn: asked for $205k salary, company came back with $220k salary (plus equity).

Can you give a bit more background on either of these? What skill sets make them worth that much?

I don't think the precise skillset matters that much? I often work with comp arch folks who are in range of (1) and comp arch is an untrendy field that people don't go into for the money (BTW I think (2) wouldn't happen because startups don't think they want comp arch folks)

The company/hiring manager has to decide they really want to hire the person, but I don't think I can really say anything there without de-anonymizing someone.
