At major tech company (FANG, SAP, Oracle, Cisco, MS, etc) should be...
Is this TC or base?
Designers are useless anyway unless they have good education. Not some art bs
$250k+ for FANG and a handful of unicorns. Everything else will be less.
Sr Product implies that you have deep experience in implementation across the entire stack and across many environments or you have amazing soft skills and are capable of working through complicated UX problems and driving teams towards innovative solutions. People rely on your thought leadership. This person is worth $250k base or more.
250k base 😂 nope the highest I’ve seen for an amazing designer is 220k and it was one guy at Dropbox
This is a bizarrely worded paragraph above. Senior means user-centered, understands the tech, can function autonomously, strength of use of design principles and fundamentals, patterns and yes software. Complicated UX problems are one thing, product grasp, ideas and problem solving are a whole ‘nother set of skills.
For those of you who who work at FANG, were you offered that TC from the get go or did you negotiate?
$235k TC @ L5 new hire. If I had a competing offer, could have probably breached $250k. Expect to hit L6 next year though.
Awesome! How do the levels work at Facebook, what are expectations for L6? Where were you coming from?
Compensation bands are all determined by levels, and levels are determined through the interview process based on skill assessment and years/breadth of experience. Had I been acquihired, would have come in @L6 but is basically a leadership proxy they want to prove out first.
Did a phone screen for Sr. UX at Amazon but didn’t pass. 3 years of experience. Hell. Wanted a bump in TC. How long should I wait before reapplying?
What’s your comp at Amazon?
Hired @ 145k TC, L6. Raised to $180k TC. I hear stories on Blind about senior designs doing well over $250k in Seattle so, was curious.
TC includes Base + Stock? It’s a bit low for senior. Amazon L6 equals Google T5?
