## The close, step by step
<Steps>
<Step title="Finish the onsites">Finish any remaining onsites. Solve at most 1 timed problem each day.</Step>
<Step title="Align the deadlines">Align every decision deadline to October 16. Tell every company that this date exists.</Step>
<Step title="Negotiate">Negotiate on parallel offers. Say that competing offers exist. Do not give numbers.</Step>

## Negotiation levers
Use a different lever at each company.
| Company | Lever |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Sign-on bonus and RSU value |
| Coinbase | Equity and the IC6 level |
| Ramp and Plaid | Equity value |
| Netflix | One number: the cash mix |
| Uber and Meta | A written offer against a downlevel |
:::tip
Leverage comes from parallel offers, not from arguments. An exploding offer from the calibration tier is a tool. Use it to compress the core tier. Do not take it out of fear.

## Outputs
- The remaining onsites, done.
- Every deadline aligned to October 16.
- A signed offer, negotiated on parallel offers.
