I am in path towards becoming an SDE3, is it worth considering Okta staff engineer position now? and also what is diff between okta staff vs principal
This is correct. SDE2 will likely map to Senior at most smaller companies. Even some internal job openings at Twitch have it this way.
So is it better to choose okta staff over amazon
I had an Okta principal offer. Tc was around 320k so I would definitely say okta principal == Amazon sde3
Why did you turn down? Just curious
How much is Okta staff TC . I declined Okta offer for senior I wonder if it was a wrong decision .
Well the levels are Software Engineer -> Senior Software Engineer -> Staff -> Principal but Staff isn’t really like SDE 3 at amazon. Much lesser scope and feels more like SDE 2 or 2.5
How much they offered you as a staff? I saw couple of new hires join as a staff with 10 plus yoe.
Sde3 should be equivalent of staff sde2 can map to senior
