- What to Chase after TC? Tc 400k yoe 4 I think my TC is good enough. Not gonna bother prepping more to get a better offer. Whats the next best thing to chase? Im already in a relationship so thats done. 27M if it matters. Maybe getting better at sports?
- vote To chase TC or to chase meaningful work? Hey y'all. Tech bro in the Bay Area here. Over the last few years at KA and being on Blind, I've thought more and more about TC and the "money I'm leaving on the table". I know I could 2x-3x my current salary if I were to jump to another company, but I'd be doing work that doesn't have the positive

- JPMC Comp 2022 Highly disappointed. Got promoted from 502 to 601 but this was standard was excepting atleast more raise then last year which was not the case. Will be starting with leetcode and DSA knowledge and leave asap now any suggestions are welcome on how to start with the job hunting as will be my first sw
- Chasing TC People here are obviously obsessed with TC. I took a substantial reduction in TC to work on stuff I love in a much less toxic environment. Curious if any others have stopped chasing TC; or if not, how much shit you'll put up with in order to put more money in your bank account.
- Why chase TC? The more compensation one receives, the WLB tends to get inversely proportional. What’s the point of chasing high TC, when our time is limited, and there is less quality time to spend with family? Has anyone traded a high TC role for a role with good WLB and a moderate/decent TC? TC: 125k YOE: 2.5
- JPMC Compensation- Underpaid? Salary - 80k Perf. Bonus - 6k (Bonus from 2018 applied in 2019; let’s assume is stays the same this year) 401k match - 5% Work Experience - 1.5 years iOS/Android/DevOps Location: DFW Am I being vastly underpaid from the above?
- vote Obsessed with chasing TC Lately, nothing keeps me happy except for chasing TC and getting into top tech. Went on a nice trip recently and thought it would lighten me up. Was content for a few days but when I got back, all I could think of was getting into top tech again. Constantly going on Blind doesn’t help either. Do I n
- Chasing the TC Cliched topic, but how do we justify chasing TC blindly? I get some kind of high off of it but I also realize that my life outside of work just sucks. Are you stuck in the same shit circle? #personalfinance #investments

- When do people stop chasing TC My lastest gamble in a pre IPO startup is fruitful. Enough to live comfortably, interesting problem to solve at work, reasonable wlb. On the other hand I don't feel as motivated as before. Any advice for someone early in the career? TC 510k 4yoe. Wify TC 250k. 1 kid TC -0

- Chasing higher TC I’ve bounced around no name companies my entire career and feel like I’m just now at entry level FAANG wages. I would love to move to remote FAANG but my degree is non technical (Poli Sci lol), bad GPA and no open source but I know what I’m doing at work. How do I do something that will get me noti
- Compensation on Lateral move within Chase I am moving from one LOB (i.e. CCB, CIB) to another LOB within Chase. Same grade, role, etc. I understand that my base will not change but I would like to know how the move will impact my bonus ? Will my bonus be re-calibrated based on the level of my new team members or will it be pegged to my last
- Why chase high TC I am 24. I spent pretty much all my childhood and young adult years chasing high paying jobs. Even though I was still able to live my life, I am starting to wonder why we try so hard to get 500k TC. With very basic leetcode skills you can get 200k, and do that for 20 years you'll get to 5 million (a
- vote Stay or Chase TC? Hi all, At a choice with my career. Currently married with 2 kids coming up on 40 years old. Combined TC 600k. Next year or two I expect that to go to 700 and a few more years down the road to cap out around 800k (unless my spouse can supercharger her career). Currently my job is great, it’s go

- Is TC chasing good? Albeit a general question and I would love to read the responses but I also want opinion on my situation. I have about 20 yoe in tech jobs (sw engg and test engg) with 150 TC. I never worked in FAANG or any other silicon valley companies. Always worked within retail and financial industry (in their

- vote What should I chase at 22? TC or Girls Currently 21 and about to graduate. Turning 22 in August and landed a good job with TC being 130K. Can’t decide between SF and NYC since sf seems to be better for growing my career as a SWE but nyc seems to be better for casual hookups. I am a 5’10 male and looking to double my TC in 2-3 years and h
- Chasing TC is a fallacy Even if I get 300k TC, what will I do differently? At my current TC, I don't even care that it is higher than my previous one. My life style is the same, and I am even more frugal. When I get that higher TC, my happiness isn't higher. My material wants didn't go higher. And I don't feel any mo
- Motivation for Chasing TC? What's your motivation for chasing TC? Personally, something bad happened to one of my loved ones early on in my life. I had no money at the time and couldn't do anything about it. I never want to be put in a position like that again.

- When/how do you stop chasing higher comp? Serious question. TC 320. and I still think about what if’s. Basically, I only see following routes as realistic options to get higher comp: - Getting promo: BUT I know L6 life would be very stressful if I could even make it. - Join pre-IPO: BUT, there’s no guarantee one of the unicorns who

- vote Why is “TC Chasing” the Status Quo here? TL;DR Do you chase more TC because you have financial reasons to or because you think you need to for some superficial reason (Status, maybe?). Poll added. Include other reasons in comments. I recently joined Blind and though it’s only been a couple of days I’m almost at the point where I want to
- TC chase vs Important role I head engineering and development areas and decide the product direction - an important role. However, I don’t get paid as much all these TCs that I see around. So, I was thinking should I be chasing TC after seeing all these TCs. I might get some engineering manager role at most, as it’s very diff
- vote TC Chasing in the long term Is TC chasing bad on the long term. If you switch job every 1-2 years how are you building experience and earn trust to go to next level. So in the long term is TC chasing bad in the long term when it comes to total compensation at the end of your career?

My only complaint is relatively low TC becaus
- Don't understand the TC chase I grew up in an asian environment which highly prioritized education and income. I bought into the narrative that high income=happiness when growing up, and I still understand the need for a decent, steady income. While I am grateful for what I have, after spending time in different parts of the US

- When is TC chasing a good strategy? Saw many stocks down 70-80% from all time highs. If you switched a company purely for TC in the last couple of years, you’re probably down. So is blind completely wrong when it comes to TC chasing? Should we focus on the job where we have a high chance of career growth and learning if the TCs are in

- 1000x increase in TC - How did I chase my TC? Got my first job after college in a third world country with ~$2K/year 15 years ago (enough to live there). Never happy and didn’t want to bury my life there. Left the job soon and applied for a grad school. TC bumped ~10x with TA/RA job, but that’s the bottom in the US. Never happy of course. Go
- Has chasing TC made you lose your way? As the chase to higher TC continues I begin to feel like I lost myself, a small piece of myself that keeps growing. It’s like pieces of me are washed away as I continue surfing in this tech ocean… I see a lot of other posts complaining about life and so many cynical comments, conversations, jokes,
- Chasing TC within tech companies Say I want to maximize TC (for retirement, donation, whatever good purpose) but don't want to go to hedgefunds/quants/trading.
