Negotiate with Facebook

The coaching session is extremely helpful and definitely worth the investment. Randy not only coached me through the negotiation process, helped me increased my package by "a log" but also helped me deciding on a package that is best for my interest and my career. I was truly mind blown by how big the difference can be, having Randy as my coach essentially saved me years of effort climbing ladder and proving myself in the company.

Emiko helped give me the confidence to negotiate by delivering messaging that was precise and professional. I was able to lean into him for help during a critical time where my negotiations have a big impact on the next four years worth of income. He even responded during the 4th of July.

Really loved the guidance and experience shared by Randy and knowing that there is someone to discuss and get help from was great! He helped in formatting the response emails and being reallistic in managing expectations where needed, all in all would definetly recommend this service in a heart beat.

I recently worked with Randy as my negotiation coach, and he was fantastic! Right from the start, his positive attitude made everything feel a lot easier and way less stressful. He was always so encouraging and upbeat. One thing that really stood out was how responsive he was. He always got back to me super quickly, usually within minutes, which was a lifesaver when things were moving fast. Randy was also super flexible. He was ready to jump on a call at a moment’s notice, which was great because my schedule can be all over the place. Having that kind of support exactly when I needed it was amazing. Most importantly, Randy knows his stuff. He has a great grasp of the current job market, hiring trends, and what’s realistic in terms of salary. His advice was spot on and really helped me get the salary I wanted. I highly recommend Randy to anyone looking for a negotiation coach. His positive attitude, quick responses, flexibility, and market knowledge make him a great choice.

Randy was my negotiator and I am so grateful I was assigned him. At first I was skeptical of the service, but Randy (and Brian) showed me (through action) these people are closers and will do what it takes to get things done. Randy has been supportive, responsive, flexible, and adaptable to my unique situation. He was not pushy but always encouraging, coaching me through complex situations I could not handle or did not have the time to handle. This enabled me to focus on my interviews while Randy took care of my salary bump. I am very happy and thankful to have met Randy!

Randy is the best. Very professional and knows all the nuances and strategic skills for comp negotiation. Randy crafted several very compelling emails, which worked like magic.

Absolutely worth the money! Randy really knows his stuff. His email response time is lightning fast (less than 30 minutes in some cases) and I felt so supported throughout the whole process. I'm confident I ended up with the maximum TC possible for my role thanks to Randy's incredible industry knowledge.

My negotiation coach at levels.fyi exceeded my expectations in every way! With their expert guidance, I secured a salary increase of over 15% and garnered maximum value for my level at Meta. His openness in presenting various options and patiently walking me through the entire process was invaluable. A huge thanks for their dedication and professionalism! I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to excel in negotiations.

I am extremely satisfied with what Randy was able to do for me. He is very responsive and coached me thoughtfully through out the negotiation and decision making process. This made things less stressful for me. I had multiple offers with different timelines which made things hard to manage. I know I needed some professional help but the end result is beyond my expectation and the salary increase from the negotiation is something I would never pull off by myself.

My coach did an excellent job. They were able to respond quickly to any of my questions and got me above my negotiating target in just two quick rounds of negotiation. I learned a lot on how to word negotiation emails to put you in the best possible position given where you are at with your other offers, even if you don't have a firm one to start with.

Randy was incredibly professional and knowledgeable when it comes to negotiation. He was extremely responsive, and I think the longest that I had to wait to hear back from him via email was 20 minutes. I was thoroughly impressed at the amount of knowledge that he had about the negotiation/interview process and how to maximize the levers of my current situation. I really appreciate that Randy focused first and foremost on what I wanted to get out of my job hunt and negotiations.

Levels.fyi is a must-use-service if you want to maximize your negotiation chops and collaborate with recruiters who will work towards getting you the optimal offer.

The greatest value in having a seasoned pro Sara always within one text message away is the fact that I get to validate my own opinions on how to proceed with the negotiation. Without Sara, I would have been less "daring" in asking for the stuff that I did ask for.

The session with Randy was very helpful, we had to go back and forth with Meta and provide extra datapoints for Meta to increase the offer from the starting point. Randy did a great job responding to my questions in a timely manner and helping me craft emails with winning strategy. Overall, I am very happy with the way things turned out and would highly recommend him.

Karis was SO HELPFUL. I would have never known how to negotiate otherwise, especially without competing offers. She was responsive and showed me the right ways to ask for more. I cannot say enough good things about this service. Best ROI I have ever made.

Joe negotiated a $125,000 increase in my year. His advice was solid and had the desired outcome. In addition to solid negotiating tips, Joe gave me the confidence to respectfully counter and get my total comp up to its market value. He also helped with my exit at Google to make sure I left on good terms. Thanks so much Joe! Highly recommend!!

Randy was attentive, supportive, knowledgeable and encouraging. He helped me gain confidence in my value. The techniques and insights he provided were invaluable. I was apprehensive before the first conversation but Randy immediately put me at ease and began to demonstrate the value of this service. He rapidly responded to communications and none of our conversations were rushed. He genuinely cared and i felt it! I will take these lessons with me for the rest of my career. The levels.fyi website rapidly became my go to research location. It has a wealth of valid information and very useful functionality. Randy & levels.fyi thank you for this life changing experience!

My advisor Karis was awesome. At first, I felt it is difficult to increase the TC by 100k in this tough market, but Karis made it. She was very supportive and strategic. She anticipated multiple possible responses from recruiter and prepared suitable responses for each possible scenario. I sincerely recommend Karis for this advisory role. Thank you so much !

Randy helped demistify the negotiation process, and empowered me to navigate with clarity and surefootedness. He is very knowledgeable, and provides personalized and effective advice. Working with him on a Meta offer was an excellent learning experience, and helped increase my RSUs by 22.2% and base by 4.3%. His responses to my queries were prompt and effective. Going through such a process helps me start my new role with joy and peace of mind.

The sessions with Ryan were very helpful. Mainly , he 1) pushed me to do all my interviews even though I have had a potential offer that I liked, 2) talked to me about the TC baseline and what to expect (that raised what I had in mind), and 3) helped me with the back and forth with the recruiters. Given the potential outcome, the price is a no-brainer.

Randy was absolutely amazing. Not only did he help me negotiate the final offer and have a massive $200K increase per year but also from the initial conversation with the recruiters, he helped me push for a M2 leveling at Meta and L7 leveling at Google. FAANGs have a habit of down leveling you. Thanks to his advice I managed to be considered at the right level, which pushed my initial offer much higher than it would have been. It's a no brainer: take a levels.fyi coach. The return on investment is here and it personally gave me peace of mind to focus on interviewing. Randy not only delivered but he also supported me throughout and helped me lower my stress to focus on smashing the interview. I strongly strongly recommend Randy! He absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Joe obviously knew his stuff and was able to give me valuable insight into how the negotiating process worked from the other side of the equation.

I paid $650 for a $63K TC return - talk about the best return on investment ever; wow, just wow!! This service was fantastic (and I've already recommended it to all of my friends) not just because of the financial return, but also the confidence instilled by Janet (my negotiation coach) throughout the entire process that you are worth WAY MORE than you think. I consider myself a decent negotiator, but it's just a different game when it comes to tech recruiting; to have a negotiation coach who is also a tech recruiter and thus knows the game is extremely invaluable. To expand more on why this was a life changing service, Janet started off with an ambitious question: what's your north star / dream offer? I threw a number that felt viscerally uncomfortable, but Janet did not waver: "let's go for it", which gave me all the confidence that this number was attainable (tl;dr, I was only 5K off from this number at the end, so confidence in your worth is key to a successful negotiation). And off we went - the negotiations game began! To not belabor this review with unnecessary details, where Janet played a pivotal role was all the small details. When to disclose/leverage compensation information; how to communicate deflection for recruiter questions that don't ultimately serve you; how to leverage competing offers with integrity. I communicated with her almost every day for a week and would share with her my recruiter emails & get feedback on ideas, and she responded very quickly. All in all, Janet and the Levels.FYI team were the ultimate partner-in-crime, from defining the negotiation strategy all the way down to the execution & communication. Highly highly recommend!!

The session was super useful on evaluating multiple offers and having negotiation conversations with recruiters. The session taught me on how to go about putting forth expectations and being responsible with the communication and negotiation.

Joe is absolutely wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire recruiting and compensation process. He quirky analyzed the situation and drafted the perfect email response to the initial offer. He even provided me timelines on when the deal would seal. I had an extremely smooth negotiation experience because of him. I was very stressed out about a few things and he responded to all my questions every step of the way. I was not offered a sign-on bonus in my initial offer but Joe included it in the counter-offer. I ended up getting a much higher sign-on bonus. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better coach. Thank you, Joe and the staff at Levels! Keep up the amazing work and I would 200% recommend you all to my friends and family.

Karis is absolutely wonderful. She was able to smoothly handle my negotiations as the situation developed. I would have been stressed out of my mind if it wasn't for her. I mean, I still was stressed out, but luckily she was there to answer my questions every step of the way. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better coach. Thank you Karis and the staff at Levels! So, if you're on the fence... her results speak for themselves.

Very helpful! Timi completely understood my situation, set my expectations correctly, told me exactly what I could ask for (and how), and practiced with me until I was comfortable. It only took one counter to increase my first-year comp by $52k and 4-year comp by $118k. I was already happy with my initial offer, and Timi helped me make it even better. Thank you!

Not being from the tech industry, I was inclined to undersell myself before the negotiation. Thankfully, the coaches from Levels.fyi educated me with a clear picture of the recruiting and negotiation process. They provided me with a reasonable salary range for my position, which was so much higher than my naive expectation despite my own research on the website. Most importantly, they also prepared me for how and what to say during negotiation. I wish I had received their help for all of my previous positions.

Jason helped me a lot, not just in increasing my first-year total compensation by a significant amount but also in learning about how the recruiter-compensation negotiations process works. Before, I had taken negotiations courses and was taught to not share information about my best alternative because my negotiations counterpart would be incentivized to bid $1 higher than whatever my alternative is. Hence, when companies asked me what I wanted and what my numbers were, I was always hesitant to share. Jason taught me to reframe my thinking because we would be creating an auction where the multiple companies I had offers from would be bidding for me. In an auction, the highest bidder amount is always public, so I followed that approach. I had to be reminded 3 additional times by Jason to advertise the highest bid when I received it because it did not feel natural to me. I'm really glad he did though because the auction approach to salary negotiations helped me get very close to the top of the band for a Meta E4 offer.

It was definitely the right decision to choose levels.fyi for salary negotiation. I got a good offer already but Karis helped me come up with strong data points and communicate them effectively to even push the offer to a much higher level. Karis was very detailed and extremely responsive via emails and video calls. I learned a lot from her in this negotiation process. Thank you so much, Karis and levels.fyi!!!

I highly recommend this service. Timi was amazing. I was satisfied with my original offer and had no competing offers so I was not expecting to get much out of my negotiations. Timi helped me with my negotiation email and worked with me to come up with data points and strategies that I could use during the negotiations. This turned out to be a life changing decision for me. Thank you so much Timi and Levels.fyi

The session was really helpful. Sara helped me draft strategic emails in response to the offer on the table. I think she did a great job with the data points I had to help me identify the range of the level I was offered and then getting me closer to the maximum of that range.

I had two very different competing offers for somewhat different roles on very different cost of life cities so negotiation was expected to be hard. Taylor helped me understand the whole negotiation process and what the recruiters could be thinking when comparing these offers against each other. This helped me focus on highlighting the unique qualities of every offer istead of just presenting numbers to the recruiters.

Two words to describe this service: No. Brainer. I have never negotiated a salary this large/complex before and Taylor was there to guide me the whole way. As I was going through the process of negotiation I realized how many times I would have screwed up and gotten less money if Taylor wasn’t there to keep me on track. He knew exactly how Facebook's comp process worked, how hard and when to push, and how to leverage other data to increase the offer. Using this service is money beyond well spent and the increase in comp I got will pay for their service alone many many times over even in just the first month.

Negotiating with large tech cos can be intimidating, but I was able to come up with a clear strategy and communication plan working with my coach. Working with levels.fyi is a no-brainer.

I was really nervous about negotiating and had so many questions. I saw Levels' negotiation coaching service as an investment and tried it out. Taylor was very insightful and responded to all of my questions in a timely manner. Taylor was able to help me every step of the way and knew exactly how to respond to recruiters. By the end of my job search, Taylor was able to help me get the max possible offer at Facebook for my level and I couldn't be any happier!

This was an incredible service, especially for someone that had never gone through a negotiation process before. Taylor methodically walked be through the process and served as a very responsive source of encouragement throughout. His reinforcing attitude helped me put aside any nervousness I may have had going into a salary negotiation and push beyond what I would have ever imagined possible. I have immediately and wholeheartedly recommended this service to all I know who are in the job search right now.

Amazingly helpful service building confidence and providing data to improve your negotiation. Completely worth it!

The service is very good and something everyone should do at least once to understand this recruiting side of the industry and the nature of hustling occurs here.

The sessions with Taylor were super helpful. Taylor knew the actually upper bound for the exact role/ company that I was negotiating with. This information made it possible to confidently ask for what I wanted and get what I think was a very fair outcome. Taylor is also a seasoned negotiator and having his guidance meant that I was able to go through the process with minimal anxiety!

Sarah was incredible. As a woman and a POC, I didn't even dream or dare to ask for as much as I did but Sarah encouraged and supported me throughout. She was thoughtful, prompt and meticulous in all her guidance. Sarah knows her stuff and nailed it! I cannot recommend her enough.

Jason was extremely helpful and provided some insider knowledge that made it much easier to understand the negotiation process. In addition to a video conference, a phone call, and a very comprehensive informational overview email, we exchanged more than 20 emails over the course of the negotiation. This constant communication gave me the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback along the way. It was absolutely worth the investment.

Wow I am so lucky to have Sarah as my negotiator! I highly recommend her because she gets great things done efficiently and elegantly. In a week's time, with 2 short-notice calls, she helped me negotiate more than 155k in total! In addition to that, her extensive big tech work experience definitely helped me join my new company with even more confidence and sense of purpose! Negotiating was stressful for me in the past, but Sarah's empathy and attentiveness made me have a positive view on it! Thank you so much Sarah!!

I know this is going to sound insane (because it is) but my consultant helped me lay it all out in the table and get an increase of more than $100k (!!!!!!!!) by marshaling data, easing my nerves, and writing the best. emails. ever. I still can’t believe it. HFS.

Sarah was absolutely incredible throughout the 2 months+ process we worked together from interview to offer and signing. She was a wealth of information and provided thorough guidance on offer negotiation and level negotiation. She was available over email consistently and jumped on many quick calls, can't recommend Sarah enough.

I would not have asked for or gotten the offer I wanted on my own. Mackenzie helped me write a persuasive letter on why I deserved a high TC that got me up 100k without having a competing offer. I'm grateful for the guidance and support, even though I was stressed out during portions of the process.

Coming from outside the tech world and getting my first FAANG offer I was totally clueless on how to go out negotiating with my recruiter. Sarah was amazing in crafting my story and responses. She walked me through the ins and outs of negotiations and the entire hiring process super clearly. This gave me a lot of confidence to stick to my ask and I ended up getting the top of the band offer.

I am extremely thankful for the negotiation service. It was worth every dime!

The session was extremely helpful. Natalie framed the problem and asked just the right questions to navigate the negotiation, and substantially raised my final comp. Even assuming I would negotiate well for some kind of increase on my own, I am utterly confident that Natalie easily covered the costs of the service with her skills. In addition to the raw numbers, though, Natalie made the whole thing less stressful and more tractable, making me feel better about it (which is also valuable). I very strongly recommend you get in touch with Natalie or her colleagues early in your negotiation; it's basically free value.

I can't recommend this service enough! My negotiator was very knowledgeable about the negotiation process with all of the companies I had offers from and helped me with writing emails and knowing what to say during phone conversations with recruiters. It was a huge relief to have someone like her on my side during this process, and I am so glad that I decided to try this service!

It was amazing. I was so anxious and Philip listened, calmed me down and proposed multiple solutions as well as gave me a lot of internal insights he had. He helped me frame the mails as well and most importantly was always there on e-mail support for me. His replies were as swift as they could be, and he took out time on his busiest day as well because I was having an exploding offer issue. Absolutely loved the entire experience. It was really worth every penny spent. As a result I was able to negotiate and bring the offer to a better state, much closer to what I had wanted. I got a gain of 26k GBP to my annual compensation!

If you're going to be negotiating an offer, I definitely recommend this service. Going into the negotiations prepared with accurate expectations makes the whole process go smoother for all sides.

The most helpful part was to find out where the limits are for Facebook. In retrospect, I should have set aside more time to talk about my other offer at Stripe.

Amazing! Your service personally took me up $134k from my original offer. Also, the templates you provided helped me build bridges with these companies that will last a long time. I've recommended your services to all my friends who are looking. I know you will work magic for them as you have with me.

Extremely helpful, it was really good to know the breakdown of how compensation works and how to approach it. Sarah knows her stuff and exactly how to approach the recruiters. I didn't have to second guess and knew exactly where we were going to land for compensation. I can't recommend Levels.fyi and Sarah enough.

Negotiation can be a one-sided game and Levels.fyi helps level the playing field for candidates by providing insight into up-to-date compensation philosophy and offer process at various companies.

The sessions were extremely helpful, actually raising my awareness of how much more I could gain simply by negotiating. The info and tactics were successful as promised.

Very helpful

I am not sure what I would have done if I did not work with Sarah. I know for sure my total comp would have been 100k lower though. Because Sarah is so knowledgeable with FAANG negotiation processes/limits, she created strong game plan for me to negotiate with multiple companies at once to maximize what I can get and ultimately landing on a job of my dream with even dreamier total comp. Thank you so much Sarah and Level.fyi for helping me. I would 1000% recommend the service to anyone. Also, strongly recommend to go for the maximum session you can purchase if you are type of a person like me who struggle with negotiation or doesn't know what to say.

The negotiation was helpful for reassurance that I was not completely off in what I was going to try. I was pretty much going to do what was suggested, but the negotiator knew the upper bound on equity I could ask for (very useful information). She also drew my attention to trying to bring the base salary up 10K, which I am not sure I was going to try, as well as for the signup bonus. As for doing better, I would have liked a video call with a shared screen. The shared screen would make it easier to follow calculation and understand the numbers.

The session was extremely valuable for helping me understand the compensation package and negotiating range for this offer. I was able to accept my final offer with confidence.

Recruiter was really helpful. They explained areas of compensation and how they are calculated by the company. Recruiter was knowledgeable about the specific company and what areas of compensation have negotiation room. Recruiter was able to help find points of negotiation in my current situation.

Using Sarah's suggestions, I was able to negotiate a better offer without much leverage on my side. I would highly recommend this service in general and Sarah in particular.

Using this service is a no-brainer! Natalie provided a detailed playbook for a tough negotiation that ended with an offer above and beyond what I thought was ever possible!

$537 got me +$150k. No exaggeration. This pays for itself in <2 days!

Very helpful outlining what needs to be done. Excellent introduction and plan to move forward. Honestly I think it's almost perfect retrospectively.

No-brainer. This service pays for itself many times over. They responded quickly and the scripts they crafted for me worked flawlessly.
