I started with 60k tc 4 years back after my masters. Job1: 60k (1year) Job2: 100k (1year 6months) Job3: 180k (1year 8months) Worked hard for the last 4 months studying Algorithms/DS and Frontend concepts with a goal of getting into Google. In the end didn’t interview for google as I didn’t feel confident enough and already had offers from Amazon, PayPal, DoorDash and Zoox. Amazon TC: 320k L5 (Bay area) DoorDash: 290k E4 PayPal: 230k MTS1 Zoox: 220k Got rejects after onsites from Facebook(Partner Engineer), OCI, Thousand eyes and Dropbox(Coding assessment) Decided to go with Amazon as I wasn’t convinced with Doordash’s path to profitability. Will interview for google later this year if I’m not convinced with my team at Amazon or if I get piped. Not a rags to riches story, but happy to reach this stage. #tech #amazon #paypal #zoox #doordash
You didn’t give up! Congratulations! Leetcode count and how did you prep for system design?
Thank you! :) Used Interviewcamp for Algorithms and System design. Blind 75 and company based questions on Leetcode.
What job family ? Amazon l5 sde does not go to 320 even in Bay Area or nyc. Even the DD e4 offer sounds to high but I assume your counting like 20k first year sign on
AWS, I’ve recently seen offers of 350k in Bay Area for Amazon. Yes, DD offer includes first year 15k sign on
Maybe with strong competing offers or specific positions needing masters or PhD Otherwise it stops at around 280-290
Congrats. Breakup of amazon offer?
Thank you! 180, 125(1st year), 95(2nd), 90rsu
Could you please also break up of your dd offer? I also DM you. Thank you
Doordash is too late now. You missed out on the big ipo
Yeah I got the offer before the ipo but it’d have been post ipo anyway due to my visa transfer.
Not only that, 4 year vest. Wouldn’t be able to sell and I don’t think ipo gains will last
Are you sure you haven't made $10M from TSLA and BTC? Confess. All Blind stories start with statements like these nowadays
Haha that’d have been a great story to tell
What is thousand
Thousand eyes, edited!
Zoox offer details?
why not doordash? I also got offers from doordash Amazon and Microsoft. But Amazon was downleveled to sde1
I didn’t see a clear path to be a stable and successful company post pandemic. I could be wrong but that was my main reason.
thanks. Does did also have pip like Amazon?
Congrats on your new job offer! I am also preparing for front end positions, but I am confused on what is covered in interviews from front end perspective apart from leetcode challenges. Do you mind sharing some sample FED specific questions you experienced if it is fine with you? May DM me if sharing here is not possible. Thanks in advance!
