It’s tree fiddy time!!!

Just wanted to post here to give back to helpful(mostly) community! I hope this post helps people who are trying to switch jobs and get better TC. I read a lot of helpful threads in blind. Started preparing around end of May. Interviewed with 5 different companies. Got 2 offers. Accepted an offer from one of the FANG companies as engineering manager in September. The role is at L5 equivalent. Pretty happy with the bump. I know it’s not the top end of the pay range I have seen here but I really don’t care. TC - just about 350k 190k/15 %/525 over 4 years YoE ~ 10(7 as IC) Turned down an offer of ~280k. Previous TC about 200k. Don’t ask me to name the companies. Not really comfortable doing it. Happy to answer other questions. Resources used: CtCI Leetcode Grokking system design interview(found it to be but repetitive) Donne Martin GitHub page Saw a lot of presentations from different companies on how they scaled their architecture. Honestly I really enjoyed this part. Went back to refresh my basics around algorithms and ds.
