When did folks here get their first tech offer?

Question

What was the offer like, how different would that offer be today? My first offer, which was in 2017 for a startup in the Bay Area, had a $100k base. I also got options, and my strike price was written in the offer. Nowadays, the strike price is calculated separately after you join the company.

My first offer was in 2004 for $45K :-p. I remember being elated at the idea of 'salary' and getting to be paid a reliable income for doing something I loved. Suffice it to say times have changed :)

Toni · Answer

I got my first tech offer 2 months ago, in October. Graduating college in May and starting at Amazon as a financial analyst in August. 240k TC over two years (170k base, 50k stock, 20k relocation, this is paid over two years as it’s a two year role so 1/2 it for yearly pay). 
Like you mentioned, my total shares is calculated at the price at which Amazon is trading on the day I start working.
