A great place for working less than 40 hours and sometimes having cool projects.
Terrible direction from middle management and no career growth beyond IC roles.
How difficult it is to get promoted from a backend engineer 2 to senior backend engineer in spotify? I have an offer for backend engineer 2 but was expecting a senior role offer. Was just wondering if I do decide to join, how difficulty it would be to get promoted there? And what timeline I am look...Read more
May soon get an offer from Spotify. For various reasons I’d hope to be promoted soon, but then would be at the same level as my manager. So unless she’s promoted first or I transfer to another team, I’m concerned about being limited in potential career growth. Does Spotify have rules about how long...Read more
Spotify is great and I could see myself here for a few years but zero route for promotion or increase in salary. TikTok roles in my field have base of $136k-$273k. Current TC is $186k (base $160k). Can likely get $220k base at TikTok. Are they really dead set on no layoffs in US? #tech #layoffs

Amazon Inc are you really trying to support environment with this paper promotions. We all in Seattle know that there is amazon music which is not doing anything newer than Spotify/ YouTube music. Please don’t waste paper.
Is it common for people to develop new skills while at Spotify, and transition laterally into non-tech teams? I just got off the phone with a recruiter at Spotify who mentioned I may be overqualified for the role I applied to, and quoted a base salary on par with what I'm making now on the agency s...Read more
Hey, #Spotify folks. I'm joining the Stockholm office next week as a Backend Engineer II. What does the career path look like to become a Senior Backend Engineer? Do I stand a chance to get a promotion before the first hiring grant fully vests? What kind of refresher could I expect from the promotio...Read more
10 yoe, 170k comp, been remote for 4 years and plan on staying that way. Love Spotify as a product and used it for probably 12 years now. The senior positions for playlist & personalization and music promotion caught my eye. Thanks for any feedback or info! #design #ui/ux
I'll be joining Spotify at the Stockholm office (but working remotely) soon. How is the career growth like? How easy/hard is to gain a promotion beyond senior engineer and how much time does it take on average to be considered for staff engineer? All assuming I go the extra mile and my performance ...Read more
Is it worth moving to a lower tier, less well known, but still global scale company for the pay, title, and stability (I think) bump? Both companies I could be happy working for in terms of culture, but have a young family so I’m not sure I’d want to grind for an internal promotion at Spotify.
My friend got offers from Atlassian (SF) and Spotify but one level down. At Atlassian, she applied for P5 Sr. Designer and got offered, P4 Designer. The recruiter provided excellent feedback on the interviews, but they mentioned most of the interviewers thought she was one level down as she only has...Read more
How do promos work at Spotify? How difficult/time consuming is it to get from Eng 2 to Sr. Engineer coming in at the top of the eng 2 band externally? How much does comp increase on a promotion? Offer: 210k TC for Eng 2 YOE: 3
Hello I have been wondering how salaries grow when an employee continues at the same firm for long duration at top companies. I have only experienced one increment and one promotion during which i got 6-7% hike during increment and 15% during promotion. After the first hike, my inhand barely chaged...Read more
I prioritize WLB first, TC second. What should I choose if I just want a chill life and don't care about quick growth/promotions? I do want to grow and do some good work, but at a chill pace so I can work to live, not live to work. Square obviously pays a lot more but I feel like the wlb at spotify...Read more
