I’ve heard that salary for senior levels at DE Shaw India lags behind compensations from Microsoft, Google. Can anybody please clarify? #engineering #swe
Yes! That's correct, after 7-8 years DE Shaw stops being the paymaster. The stock component from FAANGMULA beats the Bonuses at Shaw. Ex-DE Shaw here :) Currently in Google (L6). Got 40L more than my DE Shaw Salary.
I have heard Shaw stops being the paymaster after 3-4 YOE as well as SDE-2 salaries in top tech companies beat that of shaw at a similar level. Is that true and can you provide some datapoint ? Thanks.
How senior are you talking about
Can you tell the difference in pay trajectory of a person till 4 YOE assuming he joined DE Shaw as a fresher vs someone who joined those other companies OP mentioned ? I am curious as I will be joining Shaw as a new grad this year.
No need to worry if you're a new grad, pay will be best in market. For market hires it depends on their previous salaries.
