YOE 6 TC 130k I got downleveled from SDE2 to SDE1. They want me to give first number for compensation. Is this normal? What should I tell them? I'm inclined to study more and reapply in 6 months.
Sde-1 at 6yoe, don't go for it.
What's your problem dude?
With 6 yoe, SDE 1 is not right thing. Just don't accept it. They will come back with SDE 2
So I should reject? I was planning to try and get as high a number out of them as possible to leverage for other interviews. Not planning to join as SDE1
If you are not joining , go ahead and do negotiations and finally tell them that you got to take the other offer since its better than this. They might come back to give you SDE 2 , if you have counter offer.
SDE I is Level 4 or entry level SDE or fresh out of college (Iâm a BR and interview for these positions quite a bit).
Ask for 185 TC
For SDE 1?
Max is around 180. 185 will get talked down to maybe 175
You are with that chip maker, maker company? How is work there
Depending on your project it can be laid back or everything on fire. Promotions are a little slow.
Nobody knows your company, but they will be amazed how impactful it is.. I think your tagline is, you are the company who nobody knows
