2 YoE

Do you know if it's for a CSA or CSE position? Associate will likely pay around 70k base, 20k-40k RSUs over 4 years, 10k sign on, and 10k relo. Engineer will be closer to 90k base, 15-20 bonus, with similar relo and RSU

It is CSE and thank you for the info

Depends on the level but I'd say 2 years probably a L4 SupEng III so like 110-120 Relo is separate but at L4 itll be 7k grossed up

FWIW, coming in as a CSE can be a good route to the SA path if you have good soft skills and a passion for learning. One of the L5 SAs on my team worked up that way and he's awesome.

This is my goal currently. Soon as I get L5 I'm gonna go for SA

IPsoft /bin/env OP Oct 10, 2019

How long does it take to be an SA? I'd like to go down the same route if I get an offer

Amazon qwerty529 Oct 10, 2019

Its what you make of it. My boy went from L4 CSA to L4 CSE to L4 SA (same level but honestly 2 promotions with raises) in under 15 months. Dude was killing metrics though. I've seen others take 5 years bouncing between CSA, CSE, TAM, Engagement Manager. All still great roles and comp increase everytime as well.

Awesome honestly as long as there is promotion opportunity if you put in some hard work I'm cool with it..thanks man it motivates me more to come through

Any advice on the interview. Have my on-site very soon. Just getting my LP stories. I'm going for network/linux topics. Anything I should refresh on that you wish you had? Thanks
