I know some of you are already making 300k. So this ask is for you. I want to change my career path or upgrade it with self learning or degree. I currently work as BIE/data analysts in info security domain. So, I can either go towards data scientists, data engineer or security engineer path. But I would like to understand what people are doing to get 300k + on non FAANG companies. I wonder which career path would get me to that TC level on non FAANG companies. Current TC : 150k Yoe:5
Not a data analysts but I recommend finding what your target job role is and then absolutely prepare for the interviews like you have no job. When you out perform every single candidate in their pipeline and have multiple offers - offers go up like anything. For developers me and my friends have effectively tripled and quadrupled our TC simply by solving a lot of Leetcode problems and system design problems. Interviewing is a skill and the more you do it the better you get at it. Atleast for us our current job role and performance didn’t matter much.
LC and develop solid SWE skills.
All on how well the interview goes. LC + SYS Design
The problem with taking this approach is that after you get a job, you won’t be good at it and would get pipped in a year max. Beat way is to get good at fundamental concepts - practice solving actual real life problems (contribute to open source etc to get practice )
