Does it top off at 300-350k for senior software engineer? Since they don't have higher levels, how do they retain talent?

    Their hiring bar is pretty high too. They wanted a medium and a hard in 45 min and you have to manually code the test cases

      Very unlikely imo unless you pick crazy ones. Happened to me a couple of times and no reports happened

      Ye you dont date people from the same company but what's wrong with becoming friends with them and dating their friends? Or hanging out with them in clubs and meeting new people? Like there's so much more opportunity to meet diverse group of people at Bloomberg you can't experience in sweaty companies like Microsoft, Amazon or Google. But some people value TC more - and that's perfectly normal. If your goal is to make money, bloomberg is obviously a terrible choice. They don't pay $300K to seniors.

    The new hires and freshers have been offered very high salaries whereas the present folks haven't been matched up, I know that new experienced hires in NY are being offered 300-350K

      Inflation in Singapore is 0.5% also the tech scene last year wasn't that great so I was happy, I have received a FAANG offer which I am taking now but they didn't beat Bloomberg by a lot a major difference was RSU'S

      Also, the environment is pretty chill, WLB is great and engineering is treated very well but at the end money matters a lot plus FAANG on my CV so I am leaving

      OP
      I guess going there for 1-2 years if FAANG rejects could be a good move

  • You join BB out of college, then either leave in 2-3 years, or get stuck for life. Both types have reason to stay here, due to what people have already alluded to, in this thread. There is also a sizeable chunk who are using BB as a temporary landing place to move to NYC area, and then leave for greener pastures. Its a decent/good company, though not the best for tech. Also, many good engineers forcefully become TL (some good, mostly bad) to grow(which actually hurts the company in the long term). I am guessing this 2 level initiative came from someone very high up in management and hence no one questions this thing. Also, its a good ploy to save money on IC compensation. I am guessing some ICs are able to increase their comp by re-negotiating with competing offers and threatening to leave. So, I would not be surprised if there are a few ICs that actually earn a lot

    • my plan as well. Moved from another state for a very large TC boost (even when considering COL).

      100k Maryland -> 225k NYC, 4.5 yoe

      Im a senior swe here. Gonna become a TL and then try and secure a team lead / senior swe at a smaller company later.
