I have almost 8 months of experience but my TC is only ~185k (plus signing bonus plus annual bonus). What’s the best time for me to join fb/google to optimize my comp and career trajectories? Should I try joining as L3/E3 as soon as I reach my first anniversary and don’t have to pay back the signing bonus? Or should I wait until I have around 3 years of experience and try joining as L4/E4?
8 months and ONKY 185k. You will find this only in Bay Area. Move when you no longer find interesting opportunities at Apple or find an interesting opportunity at fb/g.
If your work is interesting wait until you can join at T4/E4. Maybe interview once a year until then and see if you get an offer worth moving for even without a level jump.
These TC comparison contests, and Blind in particular, are spoiling (read destroying) these kids. *almost 8 months* *only 185k* 😂
If he ONLY had NINE months of experience, I’d totally disagree with you!!
hahaha wtf, 8 months is not in my book as "experience". Join a team + ramp-up up to (actually) productive level is at least 2 months. So you (maybe) contributed for 2 quarters experience
Well fb google wont help you kid. Play the big game. Build something and you will be worth millions with a career trajectory you could never imagine. Play it from inside ;)
What does this mean?
Interview anyway just to get good at interviewing as well as to see what you manage to get.
Try to get 9m experience, it will push your TC to 400k not including bonus.
Oh God!
Am I being memed What an honor
Millenials are the best!

You lost me at “I have almost 8 months of experience but my TC is only ~185k (plus signing bonus plus annual bonus).” Esp. the “only” part.
