L5 SWE at Google. 3.5 YOE, just got promoted. TC 305. Just wondering how much above (if at all) my current TC/sign-on I can expect if I interviewed at Uber, Facebook, Coinbase, Square, etc.
Wow, stay there man
Around 350k to 400k at LinkedIn. Let me know if you need referral
Join Uber
Did you come as an L4 after PhD? FB can pay E5 around 350k.
I came to Google as L3 (but did some mobile dev side projects for <1 yr after my Master’s — so ~4.5 YOE if you include that)
^ that counts
L5 interviews are hard
How are they even different?
Why leave?
If you got from L3 to L5 in 3.5 years, Google is definitely working for you. Stay and your comp will go up as you are L6+ potential.
3.5yoe L5? impressive
Thanks. Caveat (see below) more like ~4.5 counting a year I worked on my own mobile side projects (+ Masters)
What's the breakdown of your TC?
