Title says it all. YoE: 4. TC: 365k with sign on bonus at Apple
I will repeat. With 4 yoe you are not getting SDE 3
Ok 👌
Funny that nobody answered what OP is asking 🤦🏻♂️
They just are burning with jealousy, “no way to get sde3 with 4 yoe”
I have a bit lower yoe, any advice you'd share how you got to where you are?
Not sure why no one is answering the question - I have 13 yoe OP and earn less than you, but no jealousy here :). I can tell you Seattle is about $330k TC
375-440k is likely Sr. SDE external offer range for Bay Area.
Why are you including sign on bonus in your TC? Are you still getting part of your sign on after 4 years at Apple?
With 4 yoe you are not getting SDE 3
That wasn’t my question :) seniority is not only about the YoE under your belt. You can become a senior based on your work and what you can do
That’s probably true. But SDE3s at Amazon are expected to design a whole system with multiple services, they hardly code infact. That kind of knowledge only comes from experience, being a code monkey doesn’t help becoming a SDE3.
