I have heard Visa has lack of career progression, but better WLB; is this true? Location - Austin
Location?
Austin
How were the interviews? Did they ask Leetcode?
How long was the app -> offer process for you?
About 3 months
Thanks! What was the turn around time after your last interview to offer?
Can you share benefits and perks. Offer seems low for senior staff in general, but I have no clue on Austin matket
Low for sr.staff.
That's about what I'd expect for Senior Staff at Visa Austin. Haven't been at V long enough to comment on career progression, but can confirm the WLB is good
Title is scam. This is way less than sde2.
Visa levels from what I have been told do not map to other tech companies. But I think its a good offer. Visa is also very very stable with signifincalty low risk of layoff. I would take it and ride it out for next few years. That being said one my friends had a terrible experience at Visa. His team and org was dominated by one ethnic group and make it impossible for someone not from that same ethnic group to feel included and connected. He also ran into few cultural issues. He eventually joined a different company and is happy. This is just an anecdote.
Solid offer for Austin. We also have a good 401k match.( 10% of base pay).
Visa roles are inflated sr staff would be similar as sr engineers in faang. Otherwise it’s good offer and visa is stable with good wlb
Not great for a Sr. Staff
What should I negotiate on?
I make 200k base being a Sr. Eng. Next up is Staff Eng and then Sr. Staff. I assume the role matrix is similar at Visa. I’d not join for anything below 250k base and go heavy on stocks.
