I was apparently selected and granted RSU’s. 60k worth of RSU to be exact that vest a quarter yearly for 4 years. So one year from now I get 15k worth of stock same for years 2-4 until reaching the total of 60k. I’m a bit conflicted, I want/ed to exit but now don’t know what to do. Has anyone else received RSU’s? Band 8 9 YOE Base 169k
With 9 YOE you may be able to get ~200 k base and ~100k RSUs elsewhere if you tried hard . I don’t know how high is Band 8 but sounds like your higher up in the ladder 🪜
It is a numbered system, lowest for dev is band 6, then 7 then 8 where I am.
I got a bit more than you did although I am band 9 and my salary is much higher. Planning to stick around for the foreseeable future given the state of the economy and decent WLB.
What are your numbers?
The new comp hat's less than most new grads are making. Band 9 is staff engineer. Should be clearing 500k easily
I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying that I’m making less than new grads? If yes where do you get your data from and what companies are you basing this off of? Finally what location?
Have you checked levels.fyi and compared IBM to most top tier companies (FAANGAMULLA) or even top startups? Even middle of the pack companies like Salesforce are now paying extremely well. A lot of the positions are remote too. Even Amazon is now paying SDE2 with 3 years of experience 350-500k
Nice. I just got an email saying I’ll also get some, but I don’t have the numbers yet. B8
Same here. Just got the email this morning, but no numbers yet. Same band 8. We can share the numbers after we get it. Curious what the range would be.
The EEP link in the email says we will get the next email by tomorrow
You got a pay increase of around 10%, with some variance. Would that have been enough to keep you from leaving?
Well that is only true if I stick around for vesting periods and that the stock doesn’t tank/drop. That being said I don’t actually see any of the money either this year, so really it isn’t a raise.
