Thinking about applying Twitter. Should I wait for 2 YOE or apply it right now (and get promoted)? I was wondering which way I will get higher TC? Also how likely to land a SWE2 position with 2 YOE? Or still SWE1? 1 YOE 135k CAD
You’ll always get better TC being hired into a position rather than being promoted into it.
Yeah, true . But do you know how much difference between them?
No, but you could probably get a decent idea from levels.fyi. Usually when you get promoted you end up at the bottom of the band, but when hired for a position (assuming you interview well, experience is sufficient, etc) you end up middle of the band or even a chance to be top of band. So, do the math. Having said that, though, the market’s hot right now. Who knows what it’ll be like if you wait another year.
Join Twitter first, then apply to higher level at other companies after 1~3 years
To be honest, not many companies pay more than Twitter (and good WLB). I’m in Canada.
I am at Carta at Waterloo. Level 3 engineer, I'm at 150k base and maybe 80-100k stock per year. 3 YOE

Why are you not getting the job you want?
Stock wise it’s a good timing to buy the Twitter stock, not to mention the wlb and engineering culture is far better there
