Retirement, health insurance and liberal leave policy.

The benefits are a great

Space mission to be launched

excellent vacation time and health package.

btw, there were no stock options. It was comprehensive benefits package.

I was thinking i would make roughly 865K a year. but sadly im only offered 116k. with that i can hardly afford to eat, and its rough.

The paid-time-off (PTO) was generous

Review from Engineering Dept

Have a set salary range you're willing to accept. You might find that a company you're applying for makes a low offer. Depending on your financial situation, that might not work for you. If you find that the offer is too low, try to negotiate a higher salary for yourself.
