Got contacted by a headhunter for HRT and I’m not sure if I should respond or not. What is the TC / TC breakdown for a SWE with ~1 YOE (all at Google)? Current TC: $130k base, ~19.5% annual bonus, $30k/yr stock, $10k signing (if spread over 4 years). So TC is about $195k. Should be promoted in less than a year and will jump to maybe $240k.
HRT will beat Google any day if you pass their interview.
Salary is negotiable and 100% could beat 240K, but it's a different career path. Better consult someone familiar in this before switching
If I’m mostly interested in web development, but I like finance, is there space for that at HRT? Or is it going to be almost all low-level C / C++? I would like to work at a fin tech company for a year or two and then switch back to FAANG at L5 ideally
So you want L5 with 2-3 YOE? :)
High af if they like you. Couple of my friends had offers from HRT on par with CitSec out of undergrad. HRT WLB is quite nice too from what I’ve heard
Interested in any data people might have
Masters?
No, just BS (my $130k base was after the raise I got about 6 months in)
