Hi folks, I am currently looking at some startups in the Bay Area - Fivetran, Rubrik, Verkada Cohesity etc. I want to get a sense of what kind of TC should I expect from them for a SDE position? Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks! TC: 240k YoE: 8 Loc: SF Bay Area #engineering #software #swe #salaries
Sr engineer can expect 180-220k base. The rest is either RSU or options. The options aren't worth much - imo it's value somewhere around 0. Value of RSUs is tricky to estimate but very roughly it is 1 to 1 to their vesting amount. You can expect 150-300k RSU grant for sr (per year)
Thanks, so if I assume 0 annual bonus and 0 joining bonus, I should expect 180K base + 150K RSU /yr = 330K at least? And that could go up to 220K + 300K RSU = 520K. Am I reading this correctly? Of course the RSU would be only on paper (unless one trades in the secondary market).
150 to 300 per year is pretty high for later stage unicorns.. I think most would land at 200ish base and 100-120k/yr options or RSU..
Dm for Cohesity
Come join Fivetran. DM for a referral.
How is it?
Fivetran lmao is that a play on Fortran?
