## The close, step by step
|
||
|
||

|
||
<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="Sign">Sign the best offer.</Step>
|
||
</Steps>

||
## 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.
