A friend introduced me to Blind at the beginning of the year and I quickly realized that what I previously thought was out there was way below the reality of what people were actually getting paid. Im a first generation college graduate so I didn’t have anyone to advise me on the realities of what is out there. After DMing some Blind posters, I began practicing LC questions and watching System Design/Data Structure courses to improve my lacking skills. Once I felt ready I began interviewing and received a huge TC offer from Amazon. In a matter of months I had a 300% increase in TC. The Blind community changed my families life. I appreciate this community and all the amazing people I was able to DM and get advice from. From 🥜 to 🍌 Current TC: 75K New TC: 290K YOE: 3
Congratulations... What's the TC breakdown, role n location?
Thank you! 159K Base 128K Bonus First Year 111K Bonus Second Year 95 RSU over 4 years Location: Seattle Role: L5 SDE
Man that bonus is so nutty. It’s paid monthly but still
Congrats!
Blind needs more of such posts. Well done OP.
New Company and location?
Amazon Seattle
Beware of Amazon. I feel I am in a toxic culture. Keep trying for other companies with even more TC now that you are in that mode.
Thanks for the advice!
