That’s not top of the band for sde2 bay area, but then again at 3yoe would it really make sense for you to be top of the band SDE2...? It’s a genuine question you have to ask yourself

+ Masters in computer science

If your Msc is 100% related to what you are going to work on, maybe that would increase the chances of it making sense.

You could probably go to 300k, I got 200k in the Bay for sde 1 and I heard top of the band is 220 so 270is pretty solid in the middle of the band. Btw why leave G for Amazon??

dude y the heck are you moving from G to Amazon?đŸ˜±

I think my team at google isn’t that great. I think the team at Amazon is much better.

Do a 20% project and-change teams at Google. If you ar going to leave Goolgle, leave it for FB, Pinteest, Uber companies which have similar to Google culture not frugal culture of Amazon. Or better move to hedge funds.

If it's just for a level higher. Please don't. Consider other companies. And m sure you can find much better teams internally.
