I have a verbal offer from Paypal for SDE 3 role with TC 47 LPA. Current role: SDE 1 @ Amazon TC : 26.5 LPA YOE: 4 Amazon experience: ~10 months Should I wait to get promoted to SDE 2 at Amazon in maybe next 6 months (TC: 55 LPA), or should I switch right away? TC and WLB are the major reasons I started looking out. I have mixed feelings about my current team and promotion process. I'm pretty skeptical about Paypal stock as well. #amazon #paypal
Sde3? Better stay at Amazon
Not sure what PayPal leveling looks like.. which role is par for 4-5 yoe?
Its about added responsibility with lower range of pay. If you want better wlb there then better get sde2.
What’s the breakup? SDE 3 in PayPal is senior engineer. For 4 YOE it is good but beware of expectations.
33 base + 3.3 variable + 10ish stocks
Base can go upto 40 ..but SDE3 has varying range of YOE upto 8 … for 4 YOE seems ok Push for joining bonus , if you have any stocks that are yet to be vested that should definitely be covered
you are part of which org?
PYPL stock is fucked
Quite low pay for SDE3 at PayPal
What offer should I negotiate for?
I disagree it is not really low. SE3 range starts around 29L base and goes max upto 38L. Also stock refreshers are usually around 25K-40K. So In my opinion it is a good start in SE3 band for 4 YOE.
take paypal and live your life
Yoe?
