Career Progression

TC: 105k <1 YOE Can you list your TC by YOE and position? Include company if FANG. Example: <1 year 105k ~2.5 yr 200k (Facebook) ~5yr 300k (Netflix) It’d be great as a new grad to see the stepping stones in your career! If there was a huge bump, please include what you attribute it to. I’m interested to see the correlation between how often one moves between companies & their TC so I can keep a pulse on what’s possible!

0 YoE (large enterprise) - 45k 1.5 YoE (small/mid niche tech) - 80k (W2 contractor, minimal benefits) 2.5 YoE (non-profit, not tech focused) - 85k (very strong benefits) 4.5 YoE (mid-size consumer startup) - 135k + 10% target bonus 5 YoE (current) - 278k TC (175 base, 345 RSU, 10% target bonus, 15k sign-on) My last bump is almost entirely attributable to the things I learned at the previous job (distributed systems, cloud, some mobile-related stuff), self-education in those and other topics, and taking interview prep seriously. The difference in how easy getting and doing well on interviews was as a result of having that stuff on my resume and then being properly prepared is insane - most of my previous job hunts took multiple months (usually around 3, but the second to last took 6), but my last job hunt was basically me picking out the 5 most interesting companies in LA that needed my skillset and directly submitting my resume (no internal referral or anything). All of them responded, got to on-site with 4 of them (though one changed the role after agreeing, so really 3), and had 2 strong offers at the end. The whole thing took a little under two months from start to finish, and that's mostly attributable to Google being one of the companies, if we ignore that I'd have been done in like five weeks.

1.5 yoe, TC: 400k

Facebook TC and YOE Nov 23, 2018

That seems unlikely. How do you have that high TC?

SPS Commerce Vpny51 Nov 23, 2018

I feel thats there something tricky here, so 1 yoe is just 1 year on filed? So companies give 23 years old people tc140-250k?!

Facebook TC and YOE Nov 24, 2018

Must be new to blind. Yeah it’s true

SPS Commerce Vpny51 Nov 24, 2018

Not sure if its just 5-10% of it industry or people lies. I know a lot of HR people and a lot in iT industry and none (have 5-10yoe) have this insane TC. Maybe just FANGS
