Almost all TC packages I’ve seen are for people with < 10 YoE. I know SWE is a new field and all, but there’s got to be a lot of people with 10+ YoE. I know in US (SV, Seattle, NYC) TC packages can go to the moon for E6+, but what about Europe? For London and Switzerland I guess the comp can get the biggest. What’s the best TC package you’ve seen? Tagging GAF only bcs they are biggest in Europe.
A new grad with avg performance doesnt ever reach these levels - in Europe or the US.
Understood. But let’s say above average. Exceeding expectations at almost every perf review. How long does it take to E5? What about for E6?
In fb, you have to hit e5 in under 5 years or you will be let go. Once you hit e5, you can cruise forever. Getting to e6 has nothing to do with exceeding expectations, that's the point - you have to be able to solve complex problems that others just never will. You can exceed as e5 every half and never hit e6. I would say the range for e6 is 7 yoe to never.
Blind posters skew towards =< 10YOEs.
I’m based in Germany, And currently have PhD + 9 years experience (All in Machine Learning.) My ICT4 offer 3 years ago was 100k EUR base + 150k USD RSUs over four years. I’ve been receiving 10-15% bonus and ~100k USD RSU refresher each year.
Germany, PhD + 3 YoE, distributed ML @ AWS, 135k€ TC.
FB London E6 TC ~500k usd
Thanks. And that’s about 10 YoE? How long would it take a new grad with average performance to reach E6?
I don't think an average performer would ever reach E6. Yoe - 12
