What is the comp difference between QA and dev in FAANG companies?
Always go for the dev position over QA if you can.
true, but it is not that easy. A lot leetcode preparation needs to be done.
Did 5 years of QA (manual and automation) It’s no where near sde (currently 9 years of a developer) It’s not even in the same ballpark. Sorry but that’s the truth Did most of it during my bachelors for the $$$.
At Amazon QAE 2s made similar amounts as SDE 1s. At Google, they don't hire QAs.
One level after sde at best as some mentioned
25-30% normally. With dev having a vastly higher upper income limit
yeah i can see ppl with 2 yoe offers at google and facebook reaching similar to my comp at 5 yoe as software qa.
