Had a friend join recently, told me he made 160k + 15% bonus for Senior SWE, does that sound accurate? ~3 years relevant exp., Last worked at two failed startups, so almost want to call BS.
That seems really low.
Yes that is BS. Its gotta be quite a bit higher than that.
Too low. Most senior eng today will start around 175-180+. Bonus/refreshers around 100k and stock anywhere from 400-700k.
Can anybody else back this?
You get 100k bonuses? That’s insane
Is 3 years experience senior ?
No. His friend is probably SWE 2
Sounds like a reasonable base.
With 3 yrs experience, it will be hard to crack senior bar at uber. Most likely eng 2
Also Uber doesn’t give bonus as percent of base. So the 15% sounds like bs
Isn't this lower than L5 at Google?
