Is this compensation reasonable?
I am a senior application/system architect with over 20 YOE, as a Technical lead, manager. Currently getting 117 base for a TC of 140 in Portland, Oregon. Is this reasonable or am I being underpaid? I have been with the same company for over 10 years, so I am not that clued in with the salary ranges.
Definitely low for 20 YOE, even in Portland.
Seems quite low. Have you thought about either moving to another company or also moving to another location?
Yoo gtfo. You should be making double of that and move if needed.
Very low, when you stay at a company for 5+ years your tc falls pretty far behind. Even at Apple being pretty well compensated I’m finding more companies than I thought being able to compete. TC 400-500k depending on stock price, 20 yoe, over 5 at Apple.
Seems pretty low, I’m ~1.5 YOE and making close to that in ATL if you include paper money
Even Portland has some high paid companies
Which ones?
Basically Intel, and perhaps Nike. There is some apple, google, amazon, nvidia presence, but not very large. Cost of living is much lower in Portland than other west coast cities, so TC is going to be lower, but 200-300k can be attained for OPs experience.
Your mistake: you got comfortable and stayed at the same company way too long.
Since you work at a bank, that suggests you have a special experience in the field, this means when you'll transfer to a different bank you should be able to upgrad your tc quite a lot
It’s low for the experience.
