The job market is hot and getting hotter every day. Been at Apple for a while now and looking to jump ships. However, in IC roles, the TC ends up being limiting (its all relative, I know I am lucky to be where I am) eventually

What places can offer 850K+ TC for IC roles?

And please don’t mention Google. I’ve been there and no amount of $ will get me back there.

Blind Tax
TC: 700+

    What’s your TC without appreciation? That’s your true worth for Apple.

      Why are you so surprised that not everyone can get a comp increase just because their current company stock skyrocketed and that’s the reason they are making a lot of money. Obvious example is Tesla, I know some people who have TC in 7 figures but if they switch, they won’t get half of that. Depends on what level interview you can clear.

      That's one thing I don't understand about blind. Everyone always includes stock appreciation in TC. In most cases, the company didn't give you 500k of stocks. They gave you the stocks when they were only worth 100k-200k. You can't expect a new company to match your appreciated stock's price.

      @Snowflake please know that the companies you mentioned build data stores / systems, and so yes the builders (engineers) of those data systems are paid handsomely.
      But in those same companies if someone’s expertise is only using one of the data systems within the scope of a single product, they most certainly would not be engineers, and so pay will be much less.

    • Nah, there are lots of opportunities for true sql guy, e.g. in qa, sre, solution architects etc. I didn't mention oracle itself, ibm, sap - those companies also have db products and open roles with sql-oriented skillset. These also can pay around 150-250k tc for his experience.

      Haha. No way. Maybe depends on your scope as ICT5. I had Google calls for L7 as L6 couldn’t come near my TC
