Learned how to crack faang interviews after finding Blind. My TC progression: 2015-2016: 35k at a noname 2016-2019: 65k at a noname 2019-2020: 90k at comcast 2020-2021: 200k at amazon Now: 380k just signed G offer letter Before Blind, I thought geniuses worked at faang, actually knowing how to solve LC hard and design perfect system.
Everyone is a genius in a bull market
Yeah I used to think FAANG employees were geniuses
Who the hell is making 300k? How are they living in such poverty?
I'm living in utter poverty then :)
Lot depends on location. High TC in high col area doesn’t mean much while 125k in low col area could afford a much better life.
True but this is In Seattle,so not much
This is the answer. Get a decent pay in a low COL area then figure out permanently WFH and maximize salary. Trying to get a high enough salary in high COL is a never ending struggle. So you can buy a 1 million dollar house.. not efficient at all.
It’s because faang is primarily software based. New features are easier to launch and software has higher margin. T-Mobile had more of a physical product. You gotta put up towers etc which means less profit margin and lower pay
I used to work for 90K and thought 200K salary is impossible reserved only for the elite and executives. truth is if you're SWE and work for companies that don't care about SWE quality you will get peanuts.
True. Case in point, SWEs in manufacturing companies like GM and Ford
Are you a network engineer or software engineer working in networking domain? Either way, 300K is very doable in the Seattle market.
