I recently received an offer from Comcast for a Engineering Operations (DevOps role) in Philadelphia. I'm coming in with 6 years of professional IT experience and from a similar role albeit with different technologies. I was offered $91,000 base salary with an 8% bonus so TC $98,280. Would 110k-115k be too much of a counter? #comcast #devops Here a description of the job: TL;DR 6 YoE TC Offer $98,280 Location: Philly
What do you mean by levels? This is Level 3 which I think is the highest level for this role.
Levels.fyi is an anonymous salary aggregation sites for engineers. Type in Comcast to get a list of data points. I'll upload the eng 3 screen shot here
Charge customers more, pay employees less. We are Comcast business.
Update: Comcast said that’s the most they’re willing to give out for the role. Most likely going to decline due to the blatant lowball.
Do they essentially just wait until someone desperate enough comes along?
Yes that’s how I got here
I’ve never worked at Comcast but I’ve had several interviews with recruiters & they seem to pay very low. When I finished my internship as a BA at SAP, they weren’t even able to match what I was making as an intern, for their entry level BA roles.
Don’t join NGAN, you’ll get cat phished on what the job really is and you won’t get much higher on TC than that.
Can you elaborate? They actually reached out again for an Engineer 3 on the same team, but as a software engineer so a bit more money.
How much they offering you now?
Can't reply to the above comment. Eng4 is Sr. Devops role. Eng 3 is not the highest. People have level to Eng6 & 7 for Principle Eng title. Although I know people in Development with Eng3 can get even $140k TC (dont know base).
CORE tech pays around that . You deserve way more !
OP, did you finally join Comcast ?
Hell no. Ask for $115 6 YoE and not in 6 figures. Comcast more like comSCAM
115 TC or base? I was thinking 115 TC was a number I'm comfortable with
Yeah either one, id go for base. I’m east coast too but think that number is super reasonable for your experience. Don’t let them short you!
