I am a grade 8 engineer at cisco(wireless) I am more into application development than networking ( which i had no experience before this) I make decent money. not in par with what people make in bay area though. TC : 145k base + 70k rsu(over 4 years) + 12 % bonus(ipf this half year was 1.4) yoe : 3.5 years If I start leetcoding and try to get a job in company like amazon, msft. etc.(i have call from google, amazon, msft) I would like to know the tradeoff between wlb and TC. I am not the type of person who can give the soul to the company, but will work 110% if i believe the company and my contribution meet at some point.
how many grades cisco has? 8 grades seem a lot for 3 yoe LOL
Cisco for some reason doesn’t like odd single digit numbers. So grades are in even numbers till 10. OCD ? Maybe. That’s a question for another day though.
so you got to the second highest grade in just 3 years?
