Companies and expected TC

I have 8 years experience and working as Staff engineer. Looking for a change and it's been a while that I interviewed. Not interested in FANG (two very young kids and spouse travels a LOT) Looking for recommendations for companies with decent WLB and TC. Any thoughts on PayPal? Company is literally a stone's throw away from my home. What level would I qualify for and what can I expect my TC with breakdown. Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you aren't considering Google. It's pretty laid back.

Ellie Mae SxmE80 OP May 30, 2018

I am assuming not the entire company. Any specific groups that provide good flexibility? I am not a freeloader. Happy to work hard but need flexibility...

LinkedIn. We pay as good as FANG, and WLB is great. With 8 years you’ll probably get in as a Senior SWE which goes up to $275k TC. If you manage to land a Staff offer (I highly recommend you try), you could get your TC up to even $350k.

Cisco Avr1UsK May 30, 2018

Can confirm. Except for: TC is much higher than 350k for staff (level 6 of FANG). Senior SWEs can make up to $325k. Pay at FANG is higher.

Thank you. LinkedIn is on my list. Any specific programming skills that you look for? I am .Net to Java transplant and currently working on microservices. Using spring boot for framework... Thanks in advance...
