Companies like EY don’t pay top dollar. You need to move to product firms.

Couldn’t agree more.

@alexheath - how much do you think is a norm for my experience and background in industry.

Yes, plenty of ppl here could provide referrals to help you be paid your worth. 2 YOE $167k total comp and I'm just an SDE1
