I honestly doubt anyone on here will be able to answer this since Blind is large majority SWE, but what does the TC of recruiters look like at FAANG. Someone said 300k+... I don’t buy that because that’s just as high as SWE Thoughts?
I know someone who is a recruiter for youtube/Google in San Francisco. She makes 65k + 40k rsus fresh out of college.
Well, that’s not really good. But it’s not really bad either. Actually that’s awful for the bay. But I wonder what the TC looks like with 5-10 years of experience
400k. Not saying anything more.
I’m a tech recruiter at FAANG with 8yrs of exp and my TC is 208. SWEs here hating can say what they want but our job wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t hard. Bay Area SWEs are the worst! U guys r so entitled and love to complain. I am confident if u had our jobs for a wk u wouldn’t survive and vice versa. stop comparing bc it’s apples to oranges.
Damn that’s good money! Congrats. I’m not saying anything negative but I get where the stigma comes from. Still, wasn’t expecting that high TC (no offense)
Lol this is an obvious troll
Lol OP I can genuinely feel you losing your shit over this. Calm down, there’s jobs out there that are much less work that pay a ton more. Sometimes it’s just luck. But recruiting sounds awful to me, personally. I’d rather code.
Lol, but it’s nooooot faaaaaaair. Why did I study for so long and so hard. Because I’m passionate!? NO! screw everything I’m starting my own company
I mean take a look at the recruiter post above at 208 tc @8yoe. It would be pretty lowband if they were swe with that many yoe. For all that studying your earning potential is def higher.
Very curious about the compensation structure and performance factors for recruiter: 1) is there commission per head count? 2) is there a hard goal to hit per quarter/year? 3) what if you do not hit your goal? Last question, is the myth true that recruiters are incentivized to save money for the company? E.g lowest comp band possible unless candidate negotiated
No this is all bs. Goals yes, but not tied to comp directly Also: Most Recruiters try to pay more. It makes it easier to get an accept. The negotiation game is only because it's expected.
1) no commission of you're on the corporate side, you get a salary to do your job. If you work at an agency you get a very low base and live out of commission 2) yes, you need to hire a certain amount of ppl 3) what happens if you don't hit your goal? Pip / Dev plans / pivots exist in every job family 4) no, the recruiter wants to hire you and give you good money.
My wife is a recruiter with GOOGL. 8 years experience . She makes 70k
85-150k for base cash depending on company, title, YOE, technical or not, manager vs ic etc
My rule of thumb is non swe makes same a swe-1 Level. So E5 will make non SWE L6 $$
For what its worth they are right. I make $308k a year in total comp as a recruiter. Engineers can hate all you want but your equity packages are 10x better than recruiters.
Don't know but guaranteed overpaid.
Totally guaranteed. I’m just curious because wtf, why slave away behind the computer (unless you have a love for programming) when you could be a technical recruiter and get paid just as much and work around beautiful people
Everyone in this industry is overpaid.
