Whats the dev culture like at CK? TC and base for sde 2?
Culture is better than Amazon from what I've heard from co-workers who came from there. TC for se2 is ~$250k, $177k base
How many yoe required for se2? Do they give out stock options?
It’s not just a YOE issue. If you’re achieving at the role of SE II, you’ll easily land that role come promotion time. I’ve had teammates with Credit Karma as their first professional SWE role who come in and get promoted within their first year to SE II and they definitely deserved it.
2-6 yoe is the range for se2, and they give out RSUs but not stock options
RSUs not stock options
RSUs, not options +1.
