I'm thinking of switching companies, and am looking for companies that pay a bit better in my field. I'm a software engineer who works on Kubernetes/AWS/Docker/pipelines, mostly in Go/Ruby/Python, but I also could be called a "DevOps engineer" to some, despite coding more than DevOps roles usually demand. What companies should I target? TC: 375k / MCOL / 15 YOE
YOE mate
Updated post, my bad.
Patreon is paying close to this if you include paper stock. Considering a switch.
Do not consider paper stock if you have real stock offer
Patreon pays based off geography and I wasn’t real impressed, + morale is low.
Not a lot of infra/devops in that range, unless you are sre at faang who can LC and white board
this is not true anymore, you can get staff @ reddit / nflx for that money without lc
Will put this on my interview list
There is a strong need for these skills in the systematic trading market. Likely your best bet if you want $500k+
A recruiter reached out to me today with roles from Citadel and DE Shaw. They seem good, but not remote.
Citadel would indeed get you in this ballpark
With so many amazon layoffs, this specific skillset has become cheaper. 500k looks a bit far fetched.
Learn who Amazon laid off. Very few of this type. Same with Meta. Meta laid off a few in November and they all found even better jobs shortly after. Meta was smarter in the second round.
Meta announced another 5k today. Many are C++ devs in VR.
Likely can get 200-250k remote job in a startup.
I'm already full remote and make a bit more, and was looking for the next bump up.
I’m a remote PE at Meta, hook me up with a referral?
Following
Senior role?
You want $500k and remote too? Lol That's quite demanding. I am in the $250k LCOL, no state tax, remote indefinitely, doing what you described
What role or company?
Lead Engineer, Optum My whole team is remote
Switch to a infra engineer and make 500k easy anywhere
That actually sounds more like what I do, so I updated the title to match.
No, you are a devops who just knows how to use these tools. Im talking about infra engineers writing cpp code
