I’m interviewing with Google Uber and Lyft in a month. I want to add 1 or 2 more companies to the list. I have 2.5 yoe. My criteria are: 1 - Company should be able to offer 280k-300k TC so I can use their offers to push Google’s offer up. 2 - Should be company I’m willing to join if Google doesn’t match. 3 - Has to be in Bay Area. I’m thinking of Airbnb, LinkedIn and Twitter. Can they meet the 1st criteria? Unfortunately Netflix only hires senior engineers. Any other companies I’m missing?
Supply will meet the demand eventually
Lyft is not in Bay Area
Mind sharing your current TC and why leaving?
Isn’t it obvious as to why he is looking to leave? Because he can make more money elsewhere.
This website says Airbnb can offer 300k for L4 https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Airbnb,Google,Intercom&track=Software%20Engineer
100% pay increase to $300k. Would be epic. Please report back with your offers and what they are!
Pornhub has crazy ‘hard’ interviews
Google will come at you with a lowball offer of 190k anyway. So technically many companies will be able to exceed that
Try Snap, their TC is very high.
LinkedIn could pay you that much, if you get a senior swe offer from them.
300k is near the upper end of Senior SWE band. Since OP has just 2.5 yoe, doubt we will offer that much(unless we really, really want them for some reason). 250k is more doable.
2.5 yoe and you want $300k TC?
Too low?
That’s the new generation for you. 2.5 yoe senior engineer with no less than 300k TC, why? Because they are hot shit!
