Sarah Patel, our lead data engineer (3.5 years with us), just told me she has an offer from another company. Need to put together a counter-offer by end of week.
Her current comp:
- Base: $165,000
- Annual bonus: 15% target
- Equity: 5,000 RSUs vesting over 4 years (2 years into vest)
- Title: Lead Data Engineer
External offer:
- Base: $195,000
- Signing bonus: $20,000
- Title: Senior Staff Engineer
- Equity: unknown but she mentioned it was competitive
- Fully remote (we are hybrid 3 days in office)
Context: Sarah has been hinting about wanting to move into a data platform architecture role. She led our migration to the new pipeline framework last quarter and it was the most impactful project in engineering this year. She has mentioned feeling stuck at the lead level. The new company is a Series C startup in the climate tech space.
I do not want to just match the number. What is the right approach here?
