Preparing to interview at Google, FB and Amazon later this year. What kind of TC bump should I expect in these companies? Should I target L5 at Google/ FB. Is L6 feasible? Currently, Senior SWE in Azure Compute. Level- 63 YOE- Total 12. 8 at MSFT. Sr for 2.8 years. TC -200K. 150K base. Location- Seattle
Are you 63 or 64 at MS?
Sounds like a L5, expect 350k TC. Unless you do really strong in design + some convincing experience/story in behavior round.
L6 bar is quite high, you need to show very solid algorithmic, coding, system design skill and also show that you have depth in an area. It's not impossible but L5 is probably a more realistic target.
Thanks. What's should expect in terms of TC at Google seattle?
200k tc at 12 yoe at msft. I think satya should give your hr and manager big raises for shafting you lol! 😂😂😂
Lol. I agree. It's 8 years exp at MSFT though but I am seeing a lot of ppl move out after waiting for MSFT to do something about TC. Hopefully, I will be one of them soon. Leetcoding heads down right now.
After leaving MSFT you will find the biggest regret in your life was staying at MSFT that long making that low TC. It will haunt you for years wherever you go.
I just moved out of Microsoft. Got roughly 80% bump
Prob L5 for FB unless very strong feedback on all rounds.
Yoe?
