Joined recently as ICT4 (senior swe) with prior 4 yoe all at FANG. The offer was 180k/360k/70k and it seemed good (based on people on blind) for my yoe. However now I see people get much higher TC for ICT4, mostly with more yoe (like 6+). My concern is if the band is so wide that I don't get promoted in the next 2 years to ICT5, my TC would be much lower than external highers of ICT4 with 6 yoe. Is this a true conclusion? Should have I joined as ICT3 to get a boost in TC for ICT4 promotion?
What do the slashes mean? Are those different TC’s or are some stocks etc?
Base/stock(over 4 years)/signing bonus
Thanks for clarifying
Yoe?
Good luck with getting promoted to ICT5 in 2 years (i.e 6 yoe in total). You know ICT5 means domain expertise, right?
Yes, and I honestly don't expect that. But I feel my offer for ICT4 would be still low in comparison to external hires of ICT4 with 6 yoe. How can I get more TC every year as I add to my yoe (and not by promotion)?
Switch companies.
