Got a verbal confirmation from recruiter and they asked me to come up with a number for our follow-up discussion on Monday. How much should I ask? Current TC: $275k YOE: 5 Location: Salesforce, San Francisco to Amazon, Sunnyvale Offer: SDE II. Current level SMTS. Note that Salesforce has FTO policy, education reimbursement ($5k/year), guaranteed refreshers for me so far (have been lucky) with a shot a promo next year, ESPP etc.
Not sure how much upshoot you will see your in TC since you are already at the top band for SDE2. Why didnt you target SDE3
Not enough experience according to the recruiter.
Push forward for an uplevel interview
You can hit just over 300k as an sde2 in the bay area
So how much do you suggest I ask for? Is it worth the move?
Depends on what you're prioritizing. You won't get promoted for a year or two at the best but if you do, then you're looking at potentially up to 400k if you get TT at l6 which I don't think salesforce can match in the period of time. Getting promoted is a pain though. How is your tc at salesforce 275? That seems really high based on what my friend at salesforxe says
Try for the promo next year and if it doesn't pan out try for SDE3
Which org are you with now? Curious what team offers frequent refreshers
I am dying to get hired by Salesforce and you want to ruin your life by coming to Amazon 😂
Haha. What org?
DM me.
