How one Silicon Valley engineer negotiated a starting salary from $120k to $250k (uk.businessinsider.com)

$250k seems normal for a senior dev, especially not remote, and in Silicon Valley, where your money has a lot less bang.

While still impressive negotiating, it wasn't 250K in "starting salary", kind of a click baity title from Business Insider.

He actually got 130K salary, 25K signing bonus, and 95K a year in RSUs

> In total, I received offers from Airbnb, Youtube (Google subsidiary), Uber, Twitch (Amazon subsidiary), Yelp, Stripe, Gusto, and TripleByte. The average value of the final offers was approximately $193,600. The salaries were all approximately the same at $130K. (Only one company offered me a base salary of $125K.) I should also note that I negotiated more aggressively on RSUs and signing bonus. I’ll also talk more about that later.
