when to move to other comp?
hi guys! i started working at Amazon nyc as swe,ML has been 4months. when is the good time to move to FB or other comp? for better TC. tbh. is there any good nyc comp where pays more than 270+? (other than FB, jane st, twosig) TC 196 yoe 4months in US, 1.2yrs in non Us L4
Get one promo and move.
Getting one promo does help to move another level? Or is it just for learning curve?
Getting promo will make it easier to switch companies without being down-levelled. If you leave before promo you're going to effectively reset your progress toward next level, even if your comp doesn't immediately take a hit. Of course some companies (Google) are still going to down-level you unless you have > 3 yoe or are a leetcode god.
You should move when you feel you're not growing anymore or if you've lost interest in the projects and wanna switch to a different org. 4 months is too soon to be thinking about moving 🙄
Yeah... but eventually got kid (too faster than expected and wife is grad student lol)...
Are you a PhD student? Is 196k normal for a fresh grad in East coast?
In NYC you should really be looking at finance esp with ML experience. There are a lot of hedge funds that will pay that much.
As far as i know, quant is the greatest bet to get paid well but heard is extremly limited lol.. ctci +heard on the street thing?
I mean these days engineering skills are more in demand, but you can do "data science" at a hedge fund (usually this is curating and onboarding alternative datasets, I think) and be paid pretty well. Core infrastructure engineers are paid really great in hedge funds and prop shops these days despite no PnL.
how u get L5 with 4mo YOE? phd?
Mistake fixed
