While negotiating salary with non faang companies when I mention the expectations based on blind data, the HR says your expectations are too high. This has happened with tier 2 companies for 12 yoe and full stack engineer role
Crazy idea.... interview at tier 1 companies if you want tier 1 TC.
What are tier 2 companies? How much did you ask?
There is little to no formula that translate yoe to TC... Also blind is skewed on the high end of self reporting folks
It's not only about the tier, it's also about the location. Silicon Valley, Seattle, New York, west Europe and east Europe has completely different salaries. How much did you ask and where?
Mine is significantly higher.
What are your expectations?
