Fwd: RE: Offer Details - Amir Okafor - Senior Product Manager
Amir came back with a counter. We offered 155k base, 15% bonus, 40k RSUs over 4 years. Our max approved band is 165k base. We cannot go above that but have some flexibility on signing bonus up to 20k. He is our top choice and the search took 3 months.

Hi Danielle,
Thank you for the offer. I am very excited about the role and the team. After reviewing the full package and comparing with my current compensation, I would like to discuss the following:
Base salary: I was hoping for 175k given my 8 years of experience and the scope of this role. My current base is 162k.
Equity: Could we explore 60k RSUs over 4 years instead of 40k? The vesting cliff means I take a significant short-term risk.
Start date: I would prefer April 14 instead of March 31 to give proper notice.
I am genuinely enthusiastic about this opportunity and hope we can find alignment.
Best,
Amir
