    Principal SWE is like 120-135k so that looks about right.

      But that is even less than other small companies , McLean is not a cheap place to live, isn’t it ?

    • McLean isn’t cheap but it’s not like NYC or Bay Area. Freddie Mac actually gave me a better offer than Capital One a while back by about $20k

  • With 15 yrs you should be a VP , i know some with less than 10 yrs being there
    Avoid joining capital one as you can see salary is shit and also company is shit as well

      Yep, my interview experience was mostly positive. There were cool people that I would like to work with. Definitely not shit seems like.

    • Yeah yeah the experience they’re good at showing it as positive. Ok if you want to join go ahead and you will regret it soon. Both financially and otherwise

  • Master SWE shouldn’t be 15 yoe you could have a gotten tech lead (hr term is senior manager equiavalent) seems like downlevel (its lead software engineers on levels.fyi for some data points)

    OP
    I worked in different areas so my skills are broad but not very deep mostly. I know I kept repeating myself for past many years. Trying to get out of that cycle. I don’t feel like getting a managerial position and growth was limited otherwise in my current company.

    Isn’t master like a top level individual contributor ? Like staff engineer in other companies ?

      I see, thanks. Based on levels TC is around 170-180k, is that kind of the upper band ?

    • Yeah for mclean, u can negotiate and try to get higher. Its mostly cash based comp here so if u get higher base salary its better in long run for better raise numbers

    Was an EM at C1, which is equivalent to Master SWE. 140-160 looks about right for base salary in McLean. There's typically also a 10-15% annual bonus, but might not be the case with COVID.
